Global Inspiration
Published by Rockport in partnership with Icograda, the book Worldwide Identity (authored by Robert L. Peters and designed by Circle) is a 256-page hard-cover book featuring 400 colour images and showcasing over 300 distinctive visual identities from 40 different countries. The book’s clear and concise manner assists readers in seeing how innovative, distinctive, and appropriate identities arise from designers’ thorough understanding of mandate and cultural context. A description of each featured nation (accompanied by comparative infographics) helps the reader comprehend the influence and impact that the location, history, politics, culture, economics, and religions of a region may have on the exhibited designs.
