band logo

Musical act's symbol

A band logo is a distinctive graphic design representing a musical group, typically appearing on album covers, merchandise, and stage backdrops.

Metal bands often favor elaborate, illegible designs with jagged lettering, while other genres tend toward cleaner typography.

A memorable band logo becomes inseparable from the group's identity: I recognized the Grateful Dead's dancing bears from across the parking lot.
