What are some sweet metal logos, in your opinion? Wolves in the Throne room has a really awesome one IMO:  Here's a completely awesome, yet totally indecipherable one:  I won't disclose it until a couple people ask, just to keep things fun. Anyways discuss!  ------------- Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want. |

Continuing with the easy-to-read theme: Paracoccidioidomicosisproctitissarcomucosis (I must have been bored because I have learned to write that name without checking) |

I'm a fan of the old Carcass logo. The letters are kind of slanted, but I still think it looks cool. |

It's interesting how this logo changed throughout the history of the band:    "Scream Bloody Gore", "Leprosy", and "Spiritual Healing": spider & web, blood, inverted cross, hellfire, grim reaper   "Human" and "Individual Thought Patterns": the blood is gone, as is the spider; the cross is less inverted, and the scythe has lost its handle - and the "a" has been changed too.  "Symbolic": cross completely neutralized, the hellfire is gone, the blood has been removed from the scythe (whose handle is back), and the old "a" is back.  "Sound of Perseverance": the scythe handle's gone again, and the grim reaper has left the building. -------------

      The Devin Townsend one I think is particularly good. |

It didn't actually change, at least not the writing in itself. To use a musical analogy, it's like the same composition but with different arrangements  |

| I like how with Death, their logo became more simplified as their music became more complex. |

^^ Yeah :-) I actually like the more streamlined vanilla version from "Perseverance"better than the older versions. I'm glad they kept the scythe though. -------------

Bands seem to get simpler as they evolve for some reason. Por ejemplo: Early Enslaved:  Modern Enslaved:  I wonder why that is. Also, some of these people seem to be putting up logos of their favorite bands, rather than really cool logos. ------------- Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands.

 Look closely at the A and the C... and keep in mind that the band's name is Anal Cunt.  ------------- Check out my YouTube channel! http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime |

I have a t-shirt with that logo and underneath it says: "I Reek of Putrefaction" I love that. So that�s why people shy away from me. Obviously I�m kind of smelly .------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Heheheheh... nothing like a b bit of Carcass humor. I bought the "hermetically sealed" version of "Reek of Putrefaction" some time ago. -------------

Maybe it's just the fanboy in me speaking, but you can't really beat these. I like the design and the fact that I can actually read them. I used to do my signature the Metallica way back in my teens. This version of Iron Maiden is way better than the one they use nowadays, with the downward pointing edges cut out. The Opeth logo describes the music very well. ------------- http://iamthreepeople.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow">  <- Click on this!

I didn't even realize that Maiden modified their logo . It really doesn't look that different to me. I guess having the long edges might not look right in some contexts (album covers, adverts, etc.), but it's not as drastic a change as some other bands. While we're on the subject, I like the look of Judas Priest's old logo, even though the style is not the most original. Their logo has had several changes.      There are certainly a few others as well. Of the above versions, I like the look of the 2nd one the best. Not a fan of their more modern ones, and the first one with the cross for the T is isn't as easy on the eyes as the second one. |

I just can't fathom thinking of a name like that. "Hey, dude, what's your favorite band?" "Uh, just Paracoccidioidomicosisproctitissarcomuciosis." "...what?"
