Typedia

Typedia is a new website that is a community-based encyclopedia for typefaces. Definitely worth watching.
And you must check out their blog post on how they created their logo. You get to see the initial sketches and all the back-and-forth emails between the designer and the client. A great way to see how a project successfully comes together.

Dangerous Curves

Doyald Young's book Dangerous Curves is a roadmap on how to create your own logotype.

“The only way to create a logotype that is truly unique is for the designer to transcend the limitations of the available fonts and typefaces on the market. Dangerous Curves provides a roadmap for that very worthy endeavor.”
