Hello from b small HQ! Trying to figure out the reason why a new book or series appeals
to me is one of the most interesting parts of my job – and often the hardest. It’s really
important because we have to communicate this to our sales people and our customers (you!).
Our STEM Starters for Kids series (page 8) proved particularly tricky as we wanted to make
the activities fun, the information substantial and the title clear yet inventive. There are
four books in the series, so we decided to keep the titles very simple (e.g. Science Activity
Book or Technology Activity Book) but add a more detailed logo to the cover to get our idea
across. Vicky Barker designed the logo (below) and it’s gone down really well. This is our
first foray into using logos and we felt so inspired that we’ve come up with some more logos
to put on all of our books. These logos should make it easier for people to choose the right
book for them. Check the index on the opposite page – we hope you find them useful!
