In die­sem Bereich das defi­ni­tiv beste Buch: »Fin­ding the roots of trade­marks in heraldry, potter’s marks, mono­grams, and other such anci­ent devices, this book tra­ces the history of the cor­po­rate visual lexi­con and pro­du­ces a taxo­nomy of the com­mer­cial age. An alpha­be­ti­cal sec­tion covers motifs from ani­mals to waves, with short defi­ni­ti­ons and ana­ly­ses beau­ti­fully com­ple­men­ted by dar­in­gly crop­ped and cris­ply pho­to­gra­phed images. Pic­tures of this qua­lity and inte­rest would steal the show in most volu­mes, but the text stands up well to the chal­lenge of images that gain force because of the fami­lia­rity of their sub­jects (cor­po­rate trade­marks), and the unusual sense that the book’s con­text lends to them. Marks of Excel­lence is a worthwhile explo­ra­tion at the modern lan­guage of ownership.«
