Lippincott: Introduction


Go check out Lippincott's site. So much wonderful logo design. I love that they've been around since 1943 and they're still going strong. I'd love to be an intern there one day. I'm starting a 3-part series talking about Lippincott. These posts will be interspersed with some other stuff in the next several days. As the first post, I wanted to give a little introduction to Lippincott, so you know what it is. The other two posts will be more specific looks at two Lippincott logos. The Viking logo from a few days ago was designed by them, and that's how I first found my way to their site, through seeing the Viking logo on Brand New.

Lippincott is a design firm, which basically means it's a company that includes the work of many designers. It's not just one designer out on their own, but lots working together in a company.

Lippincott has done some very prestigious projects. A bunch of their logos are ones that will be instantly recognizable to you! Here are a few (not the ones I'll be featuring in the series). You might notice that some of them are ones I've already blogged about, before I knew who designed them.

I was really amazed to find all the neat logos - ones I've seen frequently - that have all been designed by Lippincott! I hope you liked this little intro. to this really neat design firm. I'm looking forward to taking a look at some logos in detail soon!

This is so cool! I never knew there was such a thing as a company that designed logos for other companies. I always figured each company hired their own logo designer. I'm really looking forward to the rest of this series!!
