Best Band Logos: No. 1

  • Posted   by Spinner Staff

Prince

As a form of protest against his record label, Prince felt the need to abandon his moniker. In 1993, he adopted his logo, which he termed the "Love Symbol" and incorporates the glyphs for Mars (male) and Venus (female), as his actual -- and unpronounceable -- name. He even turned it into several custom guitars.

It seems that the readers are confusing a logo with whether they like the band. It also seems that they are confusing a band's overall logo with an album cover artwork.I think this is an article just about logo design

No black metal logos? Surprised
Also I was expecting Iron Maiden to feature somewhere along the way aswell.

I know i'm a big fan, but i think both Parliament & Funkadelic's logo's deserve to be on the list.

Since no one else is probably going to see this, because no one has posted in the last 2 days, I just though I would also say that my comments were far and away the best and most eloquently written. It also shows that I don't get out much and have the kind of idle time that most would find frightening. I'm also in my underwear.

Oh, and by the way, I was #3 on the list of the most pompous and self-righteous comment posters in the history of the internet. So I know from disappointment of not being #1!

Why do we do lists? I guess, because like the simeans we are, we're all so facinated with the same mindless garbage, just so long as it's in a shiny new package. No Zep, exactly!! I neither love nor hate Led Zeppelin, but to exclude their logo from a list of 25, fully expecting to see it in the top 5, shows me that this may be the dumbest list ever compiled. It's so typical and true of all "top" lists. Across the board, from sports to music to historical events, etc., these lists are almost always proven to be either a regional popularity contest or just plain uneducated and unscientific. We've got bigger fish to fry right now. Let's fix heathcare and the economy first, for starters, and then wouldn't it be a wonderful world to have this kind of stuff eventually be the most important crap that we have to deal with? You know, stuff like, who's ass has the most cellulite in a bathing suit, who's cheating on who, the top ten smelliest cheeses! To me, the only list that consistantly hits the mark is David Letterman's top ten, because it's only purpose is to make me laugh. God, we ARE all idiots, who have barely evolved a moment intellectually since Charles Darwin put fountain pen to paper.
