Best Band Logos: No. 17

The Beatles

The logo for the most famous rock band of all time has perhaps the simplest origin story. It was designed in 1963 by Ivor Arbiter -- merely the man who sold Ringo Starr his drums -- and applied on Ringo's bass drumhead by London sign painter Eddie Stokes.

Please do us a favor..Leave the Beatles out of all of these lists... ALl the crap out now isn't worthy of putting anything to do with the Beatles. It is so beneath the Beatles

It's a bloody LOGO. The Beatles are above having their logo mentioned with other bands? Nevermind the fact that many of the other groups here are of an amazing talent level.

Yes, the Beatles were truly amazing and possibly the best band that ever has been or ever will be, but they're not at a point where it's "beneath" them to be mentioned with other music artists.

The Beatles are just a bunch of mopes, just like the rest of us. They just got lucky and at the right place at the right time. No big deal. I love their work as musicians, but they are just people. Rich people, dead people, but just people. Not too lucky in love it seems like, so pretty damn normal for the most part.

I honestly don't see how that logo is anything special. The Beatles may be the greatest and most influential rock band of all time but I don't see the point of them being on this list.

Love em or hate em, there is no question the Beatle's had an enormous influence on rock and roll music... but if we just stick to the facts ma'am, and look at this logo for what it really is... it really isn't much of anything other than the word "Beatle's" in a particular letter font. Pretty sure I can rule this one out as a head-turner logo.

The Beatles are good... but this logo is just a plain font.

Shouldn't have been on the list.
