Penguin Random House UK’s Post

Viking, an imprint of Penguin General, has celebrated its 40th anniversary with a stunning new logo ahead of a bumper year of publishing 🧡📚 Art Director, Richard Bravery, and Senior Designer, Chris Bentham, were behind the redesign: “Our rationale when designing this logo was to create something timeless and modern. Eschewing the historical baggage that comes with a word like ’Viking’, we took inspiration from modernist principles of design: clarity of thought, legibility and lack of ornament. It can be read as an open book; as representing twin strands of fiction and non-fiction; and as forward-facing, while never forgetting the lessons of the past. We explored a number of design routes before settling on this, deciding that a monogrammatic ‘V’ gave the simple clarity that was needed." #design #graphicdesign #logodesign #books #book #reading #reader #publishing #workinpublishing #publishingindustry #PenguinBooks

I am in the process of 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 of my next book: 𝐒𝐚𝐲 𝐘𝐞𝐬 – 𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥. A few questions come to my mind and I am hoping some of you will share your perspective. 1️⃣ 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞? Will you not buy a book just because its cover does not appeal to you? 2️⃣ 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞? Does the cover need to have an image that conveys the theme of the book or can it be just a pleasant looking abstract design? 3️⃣ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐫? Does the colour convey anything? Is it better to have a light coloured background or a dark coloured one? What kind of biases exist if any? 4️⃣ 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐭? A lot of emphasis is put on the font used. How does it affect the chances of a book being read or not? My 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐬 are as follows: 🔸 The cover will not influence my decision to buy a book. 🔸 The image helps but it may mean different things to different people. 🔸 Light backgrounds are probably better because the title is more prominent. 🔸 Font does not communicate a lot as long as it is readable. There is lot of material on google and I could not relate to a lot of it. Can we have some candid views please. #design #bookcover #book #creativity #author
