More highlights from a mid-seventies edition of The World of Logotypes by Al Cooper. Eric Carl has graciously posted a large portion of his own copy of this out-of-print book on flickr. You may have already seen some of the pages featured elsewhere but I wanted to extract in single form some of my favorite designs and feature them here on AQ-V in a multi-part series. Check out Part 1 and Part 2. I continue to choose marks based on their strong graphic quality.
I began from the back of the book moving forward—above are just a few selections from the K-N sections so it represents a very small portion of this extensive book.

Hi Amy,
This is terrific. It’s great that you are posting it here. Lots of stuff to just sit back and contemplate, and admire. Thanks!

I love the world of logotypes… nice job collecting!
Thanks you guys for the feedback, glad you enjoy these too… more cometh. :)
Great selection. Love your taste in logos!
I’ve always been a fan of the most simplified, black and white, heavy (in weight) logos. Great selection.
They sure don’t make ‘em like that anymore!
used to love sitting in thhe uni library and reading the huge books full of old logos
my fav is the one for knight accounting services……gives me an idea……
1970s??? I couldn’t wish for more in 2010. The Leidschenhge one is gorgeous! Any of these guys still around to work for me?????
Nice design!

Thanks Warwick for supplying this missing info, will update accordingly. Unfortunately, Mr. Donoahue’s name was left out of the trademark book it appears. He’s a legend of course.
