Symbols of Australia: over 100 years of consumer heritage preserved.

Symbols of Australia is the first and only book to chart the visual history of trademarks in Australia.

A major work of commercial archaeology, it contains over 1710 trademarks, symbols, shields and logos, many with detailed historical design development along with brief corporate histories.

Symbols of Australia shows how, over 100 years, Australia's trademarks, packaging and advertising art have reflected the unique symbols offered by the Australian environment.
