Paragon Marketing Communications one of Kuwait’s leading advertising agency has its work featured in Rockport Publications’ latest release titled ‘Recycling & Redesigning Logos’, making it the 17th international publication on advertising and graphic design featuring work by Paragon Marketing Communications’.
Recycling & Redesigning Logos explores the paradoxes involved in determining when and how much change is necessary in order to arrive at a more captivating and enduring visual logo personality. The book talks about redesigning of logos and about the questions one faces when redesigning, the most important being “Where do you start from?” The book shows case studies from around the world showcasing the brand stories of many corporations such as Coca Cola, Kodak, Burger King etc.
The book is authored by Michael Hodgson, principal and creative director of Ph.D, A Design Office – a firm whose design thinking approach is based on the idea of visual personalities: capturing the essence and soul of the client, then communicating those qualities throughout all applications from building signage and websites to identities and marketing collateral. When he’s not in the office, Michael can usually be found riding his bike in the Santa Monica Mountains.
