An interesting twist on the usually oh-so-hip graphic design tome, Band ID looks at over 1,000 of what the authors consider to be the most powerful examples of band and artist logos. Unlike the likes of my Stefan Sagmeister book, there’s a small chance that if I put this on my coffee table my friends might actually pick it up. It’s not out till June but you can pre-order it from Amazon or the publisher Chronicle Books. I'm going to order it – stand by for a review soon.

Wow. That looks really great. So is the book in the shape of a pick? How does it open? Where is the spine of the book? You really need to give us a review and some more pics of the inside if possible please!
Obviously it would be awesome if the whole book was shaped like a pick, but I'm guessing it's just a pick on a black cover.
I've ordered the book so I'll be posting a full review as soon as it's arrived and I have had a good butchers at it.
The book is great. The cover is textured like a amp case and the pick is raised. Inside there are logos from all areas of popular music, with stories behind the creation of some of you favorites Next time you get a band tattoo, consult this book first. :)
The book has arrived and I've reviewed it here.
great how they made a book about band logos
