- vomjom 17y agoA white Y using a standard font on an orange background isn't a hugely original logo. It's quite conceivable that they came up with it themselves given the topic of the book.
- jasonlbaptiste 17y agoorange looks much more like the yc orange in the photo. in real life, it looked a shade lighter.
- aristus 17y agoEh. The book is about generation "Y", a phrase that's been around for about 15 years. There are 8 basic colors. Odds are it's unconscious. I was about to recommend a book on this called Borrowed Design, but apparently it's a hard-to-get classic. $189 used! http://www.amazon.com/Borrowed-Design-Abuse-Historical-Form/dp/0471284408 http://www.amazon.com/Borrowed-Design-Abuse-Historical-Form/...
