The little book of logo recipes by David E. Carter

Useful if you have very little background in logo design. Almost entirely pictures, very little distracting text.

The Big Book of Business Cards (Big Book (Collins… by David E. Carter

Big, colorful and varied. You get it all here: inspiration for a conservative client or one who longs for die-cut innovations. There is something for every taste and price range.

It's definitely worth a look for graphic designers who are experiencing a pesky creative block (or who might anticipate a future one).

These little bits of marketing communication could give a new business ideas for brand identity or an existing business sparks of inspiration for a brand overhaul.
