Copywriter, columnist and author Michael Evamy has released a mini edition of his popular 2007 reference book, Logo. The folk from It’s Nice That asked Michael a few relevant questions, such as this, “What does a designer need to consider when designing a logo?”

It’s about establishing parameters: asking questions such as, what are the client’s objectives? What’s the best use of the budget? How and where should the logo be used?

I don’t have the mini edition of Logo, so apart from the smaller dimensions I can’t say how different it is from the first. But you can pick up a copy from publisher Laurence King or on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com.
