BTW, don't bother submitting your logo unless you are from Scandanavia, the guy gets pissed. ;)

I get pissed if I get submissions from outside of Scandinavia? Hm. I get really bored, but pissed? No.
Scandinavian Logo should have been finished 6 months ago, but something has come in the way, it seems. I'm gonna ask my boss tomorrow.

ohh was that you schjetne? sorry man, I thought you were someone else. I could just remember you getting irritated a bit at like 50,000,000 entires non-Scandinavian lol! ;)

Yeah, a year ago or something I got like 50 non-scandinavian submissions a day. That pissed me off, as it clearly says on the site that it's all about SCANDINAVIAN logo design, but it's no problem if like 10% or something is non-scandinavian. They just end up in my trashcan anyways.

Some more good ones:
Lingua Grafica
Marks Of ExcellenceAs well as Los Logos (obviously).
- frankosonik0
Marks of Excellence is by far the most complete explanation of the history and methodology of logos and mark-making.
A lot of the other books are nothing more than hard-bound editions of Communication Arts Design Annuals.
