portfolio & design blog of logo & identity designer, Graham Smith
I have 3 copies* of David Airey’s excellent logo design book, Logo Design Love – titled from the popular logo design website that David authors, to giveaway. David has signed one copy of the book, so one winner will get this copy.
I reviewed Logo Design Love when it was published back in March this year.
Pulling in everything to do with successful logo and brand identity design, Logo Design Love really achieves what many books seem to fail to do.
Follow David on Twitter (@DavidAirey) & Logo Design Love (@logodesignlove).
*Post Update : Over 60 entries in just a few hours. If number of total entries exceeds 150, I will offer up 5 copies instead of 3 to help with the odds of winning. :)
To win
- Follow me on Twitter @imjustcreative & sign up to either my RSS feed or by Feedburner Email.
- Leave your Twitter ID and confirmation of #1 in comments below.
- A Retweet or two would be nice, but not a determining factor.
- Optional follows. I post a lot of links of news, Apple, fonts, logo stuff, funnies etc. Some are posted on my Posterous blog and my Google Shared Items. Also Facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr & Google Buzz.
- Also started using a FriendFeed replacement called Amplify, so you might find me on there from time to time.
I’ll probably keep this open for a few weeks. I will post the 3 winner’s on this blog after picking them randomly. No amount of begging or grovelling will increase your chances of winning, but feel free to give me something to laugh at.
How are prizes sourced?
As with previous giveaways, all prizes are sourced and purchased by myself. No sponsors and no corporate back-handers. I try to find items that are genuinely cool and/or useful, simply, items that I would buy for myself.
This is why I can only usually manage one or two prizes per giveaway, depending on the overall value of the items concerned.

It’s me, Sonia. Already follow you on twitter. Now have RSS.
Currently working on rebrand and a new brand so any inspiration would be great. Working with new boss (= client) so trying to figure out what goes on in their head so that I can persuade them that my way is best. I need all the help I can get to create and inspire both brand and colleagues.
Twitter = Sonia_Hicks
I’m just looking for inspiration outside of my Cornish box. Generally retweeting things that inspire me whilst I build my online portfolio. Trying to get my head out of marketing figures and back focussed on great design.
@mathri
Been following you on twitter, good stuff!
Would Love to get this book. Big thanks for helping the designers community.
Logo design is tough for me, as I feel like I always struggle through it, like chewing through a bad steak. I have received some compliments on my work, but every time I am tasked with a brand, I always want to improve by leaps and bounds beyond what I have done in the past.

I subscribed to your rssfeed in April, love your links and posts.
I love it when great designers do giveaways; not just for the chance to win something that will most definitely help me, but because it helps me find those great designers’ websites, Twitter and RSS Feeds. If it were not for this giveaway, I probably would never have seen this site and been able to subscribe to the RSS! (Unfortunately).
Thank you for doing the giveaway:

Hi, I am a freelance designer as well as a graphic design lecturer in a college in Indonesia.
