This peek into the minds of designers as they update existing work offers lessons that are both stimulating and instructive. The book takes readers inside the design firms where logos and letterheads are given new looks to make them more appropriate in a changing marketplace. "Before" and "After" shots of both versions are shown for each on the left page, the old design, along with comments on what happened and why; the new, improved design is presented on the opposite page.
