NEW IN THE BOOKSHOP: TRADEMARKS AND SYMBOLS OF THE WORLD BY YUSAKU KAMEKURA (1965) Stunning, large-format, cloth-covered first edition of "Trademarks and Symbols of the World" by Japanese designer/art director Yusaku Kamekura, published by Reinhold in 1965. Opening with a preface by Paul Rand, this huge book includes 763 designs (many uncommon and undocumented elsewhere) designed between 1955-1965, including work by Saul Bass, Max Bill, Wim Crouwel, Robert Brownjohn, Otl Aicher, Ivan Chermayeff, Karl Gerstner, Max Huber, Lester Beall, John Buckland Wright, Chermayeff & Geismar, John Buckland Wright, Raymond Loewy, Paul Klee, and hundreds more. Lavishly designed (with the graphic entries arranged in a rhythm Kamekura hoped would create "a visual essay in an international language") and beautifully printed in Japan in b/w and colour. Largely wordless, the book places emphasis on the international visual language of the symbol. Includes detailed design credits as well as a full index of all designers and client featured. A beautiful production. Born in the Niigata prefecture in Japan and a student of the Institute of New Architecture and Industrial Arts, Yusaku Kamekura started his design career at the publishing company Nippon Kaupapu, combining the influences of the Bauhaus with insight to his traditional heritage, his work was recognized for its colourfully minimalist approach. He co-founded the Nippon Design Centre in 1960 with Ikko Tanaka. He designed posters, books, magazines, corporate symbols, logos, street signs and packaging. His work is distinguished by its dynamic composition, technical expertise and visual inventiveness, making full use of photography, colour and geometric elements. Outside Japan, his best-known designs are his posters for the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games and for Expo ‘70 in Osaka. , which won several national and international design awards. One copy available via our website and in the bookshop. #worldofoodbooks #trademarksandsymbolsoftheworld #yusakukamekura #paulrand #typography #graphicdesign #1965 (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)
