The identity design resource site Logoblink has posted what they are referring to as a "fragment" from my book Identity Crisis!: 50 redesigns that transformed stale identities into successful brands.
'Identity Crisis!' on Goodreads networking site
Goodreads is a great social networking site for readers and authors, offering so much more than just the opportunity to connect with others around the world.
As explained on the Goodreads site:
Goodreads is a free website for book lovers. Imagine it as a large library that you can wander through and see everyone's bookshelves, their reviews, and their ratings. You can also post your own reviews and catalog of what you have read, are currently reading, and plan to read in the future. Don’t stop there – join a discussion group, start a book club, contact an author, and even post your own writing.
As the author of Identity Crisis!: 50 redesigns that transformed stale identities into successful brands, Goodreads provides yet another marketing tool for my book with my own author's page. Authors can post a detailed biography, make note of upcoming book-related events, share writings or book excerpts, participate in discussion groups, and promote their own books.
Anyone with a passion for books - and an interest in finding out what others are reading (and writing) - should give Goodreads a look.
(Note: I have added Goodreads to my previous list of social networking/media sites I use for marketing and promotion purposes.)

Summer is a great time read a book...
Thanks to Kelly Erickson, Owner and Creative Director of VisionPoints, for including Identity Crisis! on her Summer Is a Great Time to Read a Book list. Her 10 suggested beach reads appeared on the Maximum Customer Experience Blog.Erickson writes:
This book will set you back a bit more than the others on this list but not too much for this colorful, real-life-example packed classic. After you’ve read the book, applied all the lessons, and become a fan, you’ll want to visit Jeff’s LogoMotives blog, where you can also click through his wonderful portfolio.
I appreciate the plug for the book and the comments!

The Sentinel ad: Jeff Fisher wrote the
book on identity design...literally!
Seldom during my 30-year career have I promoted my design or writing efforts with print ads. However, I recently redesigned the identity for my local neighborhood newspaper, The Sentinel, and as part of the compensation package publisher Cornelius Swart offered me a series of ads in the publication. The latest edition hit the streets this week with the ad marketing my local North Portland logo design efforts and my book, Identity Crisis!: 50 Redesigns That Transformed Stale Identities Into Successful Brands.
'Identity Crisis!' on DesignHide
The portfolio site DesignHide posted an interview with me this week. I appreciate the mention (and photo) of my book Identity Crisis!: 50 Redesigns That Transformed Stale Identities Into Successful Brands.
