Not bad at all - Rated 
I didn't think this book was too bad at all. The reason I bought it, however, was to look for inspiration for my own artwork and I must say I didn't find it here. In defence of the book, it is very informative about different artists styles etc. and there are many pictures showing the work that they achieved. It explains the thinking behind all of the street art campaings and pieces exceptionally well and this is a very good buy for those who are starting out in street art, veterans at the subject, or just have a mild interest in it.

this book has some great pictures of proper street art and not just copyed into the book it shows it all in its real surroundings which makes it a whole lot better it also has a breif short but interesting paragraph or two on the person who has done the art work and why buy this book well worth the money

Contrary to the other review written, I feel that Street Logos is an indepth, well researched project.
Having read several other 'street art' books and many more magazines on the subject; there are still a lot of artists in the book that I havn't heard of or seen before.
The quality of the photos is top notch too, with nearly 500 images over 450 of which are colour - all really crisp and clear.
There is also a fair amount of writing about the artists, styles, ideas and the art form.
Overall I'd say buy it even if you have other books such as 'Art of Rebellion' or 'Stick 'em Up' as this definately brings a fresh interest in all that is 'street' and 'art'!

more of the same from the author of Stencil Graffiti. This time the focushas changed to the broader topic of street art, and includes graffiti,stencils and stickers. There's a handful of pages on each artist, with abrief description and several photos. If you liked his previous book, orhave a keen interest in street art, then you should enjoy this book. Ifyou're looking for a proper graffiti book, you could do better elsewhere,but for the price and quality, this is still a good buy. At times thephotos of certain artists are too similar, where I felt they could havehad more variation, to get a better idea of the range of an artist's work. Also, this suffers from the same problem as Stencil Graffiti, in that itfeels very like a slim coffee-table book for dilletante trendies who don'thave a deep knowledge of the subject. Or maybe that's it's greateststrength!
