This book titled Marks of Excellence, The History and Taxonomy of Symbols by Per Mollerup. This contemporary book relates to this last project as it classifies or catalogs modern symbols into three categories by history, function,and motif. As we also had to catalog our marks into different categories, this book depicts symbols such as the Coca Cola logo their origin and development , style and their classification in our society. As well how something can later have a different connotative meaning.
It's a good book to have for your design library.
