Now this has obviously been staring me in the face for years but i’ve never picked up on it. Can you make words out of the Mac dock icons, well yes you can!

Whilst doing some brand identity research recently I delved into my book collection and trawled through the traditional avenues, books that most designers will be familiar with including the Los Logos series. I then set about trawling the internet and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of sites dedicated to art of logo/identity design.
I know I have only scratched the surface with this but those that are worth a mention are Logo of the Day, Lo8os, Logolog and Logo Design Love.
As usual with these online collections some examples are good but lot’s are pretty average!
