Countless global brands, including Rolex, BMW, Louis Vuitton, and the New York Yankees, still use logos that were designed over 100 years ago. Yet there has never been a monograph devoted to the origins of logo design. In the second half of the 19th century, the trademark replaced traditional symbols such as the family coat of arms as a promotional and identifying symbol for companies. At first, the designs were often still figurative; only gradually did they develop into the abstract marks that have become fixtures in everyday life today.
Author Jens Müller, described as the “logo detective” by Wired magazine, examined historical trademark registers, international corporate archives, and early design publications to unearth more than 6,000 logos from 1870 to 1940. This unparalleled collection traces the development of modern trademarks and sheds light on forgotten designs and early versions of famous logos. The catalog is divided into four design categories: Pictorial, Form, Effect, and Typographic. Each chapter is then systematically subdivided according to basic elements of design such as circle, line, overlap, and outline, thus offering a new perspective on design principles that are still relevant today.
Along with an extensive picture section, the book comprises an introduction by Jens Müller on the history of the trademark as well as a reproduction of the first comprehensive examination of modern corporate logos: the influential design pioneer F.H. Ehmcke’s (1878–1965) illustrated essay “Wahrzeichen—Warenzeichen” (Symbols—trademarks) from 1921. Also included are ten case studies of famous trademarks, including those of 3M, NBC, Shell, and Olivetti, and numerous rare images illustrating the—at times varied, at times consistent—developments in international logo design and the birth of the corporate identity. Logo Beginnings is not only a fundamental and inspiring graphic design manual but also an excellent read for anyone interested in social, cultural, and corporate history and the fascinating impact of trademarks. It is also the perfect complement to the TASCHEN classic Logo Modernism.

Jens Müller est né en 1982 à Coblence, en Allemagne, et a étudié le graphisme. Lauréat de nombreux prix de design nationaux et internationaux, il est directeur de la création du studio de design Vista à Düsseldorf, et professeur de design d'entreprise à l'université des sciences et arts appliqués de Dortmund. Auteur et éditeur de plusieurs ouvrages, Müller mène des recherches sur l'histoire du graphisme et de l'image de marque.
Innumerables marcas globales, como Rolex, BMW, Louis Vuitton y los New York Yankees, usan todavía logotipos diseñados hace más de 100 años. Sin embargo, nunca antes se había editado una monografía dedicada a los orígenes del diseño de logotipos. En la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, las marcas comerciales ocuparon el lugar de símbolos tradicionales, como los escudos familiares, y se convirtieron en los emblemas promocionales e identificativos de las empresas. Al principio, los diseños todavía eran figurativos, y evolucionaron de forma gradual hasta convertirse en las marcas abstractas que se han convertido en elementos habituales de la vida cotidiana. El autor Jens Müller, descrito por la revista Wired como el ?detective de logotipos?, ha buceado en fuentes documentales sobre marcas históricas, archivos de corporaciones internacionales y las primeras publicaciones de diseño para desenterrar más de 6.000 logotipos creados entre 1870 y 1940. Esta colección incomparable estudia el desarrollo de marcas comerciales modernas y arroja luz sobre diseños olvidados y primeras versiones de logotipos famosos. El catálogo se divide en cuatro categorías de diseño: ?Figurativo?, ?Forma?, ?Efecto? y ?Tipográfico?. Asimismo, cada capítulo se subdivide de acuerdo con los elementos básicos del diseño, como el círculo, la línea, la superposición y el contorno, para ofrecer una nueva perspectiva sobre los principios de diseño que siguen siendo relevantes en la actualidad.Junto con una extensa sección de imágenes, el libro incluye una introducción de Jens Müller sobre la historia de las marcas comerciales, así como una reproducción del primer análisis exhaustivo de los logotipos corporativos modernos: el ensayo ilustrado del influyente pionero del diseño F.H. Ehmcke (1878-1965) ?Wahrzeichen ? Warenzeichen? (Símbolos-marcas registradas) de 1921. También incluye diez estudios de casos de marcas comerciales famosas, incluidos los de 3M, NBC, Shell y Olivetti, y numerosas imágenes poco conocidas que ilustran la evolución, a veces diversa y otras constante, del diseño de logotipos internacionales y del nacimiento de la identidad corporativa. Logo Beginnings no solo es un manual de diseño gráfico fundamental e inspirador sino también una lectura excelente para cualquier persona interesada en la historia social, cultural y corporativa y en el fascinante impacto de las marcas registradas. También es el complemento perfecto para el clásico de TASCHEN Logo Modernism.
