Feb 25, 2013 at 22:38 comment added user56reinstatemonica8 It's not pre-internet and it's not 'definitive rules', but the most useful book on logo design principles I've seen is Really Good Logos Explained. It's great because it doesn't try to invent definitive rules for something which is fundamentally case-by-case - instead, it embraces this case-by-case nature by structuring itself around real straight-to-the-point no-nonsense critiques of real logos for real clients, with short profiles of the client giving crucial context.

Feb 25, 2013 at 7:01 comment added Yisela I just wanted to limit the scope a little. "The definitive" book would sound more like a suggestion question. You can edit the question back (just click on Edit).
Feb 25, 2013 at 5:31 comment added Vidbot I understand it is the moderator's job to clarify things, but my original question was "What are the definitive books or courses for the creation of a logotype?" I am not looking for merely "good" books or courses. I am looking for the books and courses that career graphic designers have read or taken that helped shaped them into the professionals they became. Please pardon my clarification. I do not mean to appear like a message board troll.
