    Recommend books and online tutorials

    Can anyone recommend any books or tutorials for logo design in Illustrator that lists techniques. I want something that has a very comprehensive and extensive list of tips and techniques. Adobe Illustrator Tutorials is quite good but I want more more more!!

    I know in my head things I would like to do but because I'm new to all this I don't quite know how to do it. I would like the info to incorporate letterheads, business cards, comp slips etc

    Thanks a mill to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

    Nicks site is an informative read that may help: Graphic Design Employment Advice and Essential Job Training

    I am sure others will be along with their recommendations.

    Cheers

    That is an excellent site! I like the fact it doesn't expect you to be fresh out of uni and that you can be like me and be 27 years old starting from scratch! Thanks

    No techniques I'm afraid but I can certainly recommend Logo Lounge for inspiration, awe (and pure jealous rage sometimes!!!. :)

    Hi Eagle

    Which logo made it into the book?

    I've been looking through members' portfolios for inspiration for a logo I'm currently doing and yours is great as are Dot Design, Pixels Ink and Truly Ace. :icon_thumbup:
