The Brand Gap

The Brand Gap coverThe Brand Gap
by Marty Neumeier

A slim book that packs an incredible amount of insight. This is one of those books every designer (and maybe clients too) should read at least once. Neumeier dissects just what a brand is, the difference between it and your logo, and what the purpose and strengths a good brand can bring about. Indispensable for the uninitiated.
