He has been a very active man in his field and at the age of 79, he still shows an admirable fire and passion for his profession. There are literally tens of thousands of different symbols defined by Unicode compared to 256 characters defined by the extended ASCII set.

Letters As Symbols is an international selection of 306 trademarks, logos and symbols where every single one of them is a celebration of breaking and pushing the boundaries of typography.

I highly recommend to all logo design lovers, Typographers, and Graphic Designers including those learning about design and the seasoned pros it’s well worth having on your bookshelf in arms reach for a great inspirational resource. Letters As Symbols, launched on Kickstarter, is based on Belgian graphic design pioneer Paul Ibou's collection of an unseen archive of logos designed by the leading designers of the 60s until the 80s.
