    Best Band Logos: No. 25

    Whether it's gracing overpriced T-shirts or iconic drumheads, being furtively carved into classroom desktops or intricately inked on the bodies of the most dedicated fans, a band's logo can be just as memorable as its biggest single.

    The Ramones

    New York artist and band friend Arturo Vega chose the Seal of the President of the United States as the jumping-off point for the punk legends' logo. His intention was to represent the Ramones as an all-American band.

    I LOVE THE LATE 70'S AND ALL 80'S ROCK GROUPS. THEY WERE THE BEST. THE CRAP RAP TODAY, AND COUNTRY MUSIC, MAKES ME SICK. THERE IS NO MUSIC MADE TODAY WORTH DOG DUNG. EVEN THE WHITE TRASH GRUNGE BANDS TODAY ALL SOUND THE SAME, AND ALL THE LEAD GUITARISTS STINK TO HIGH HELL. LONG LIVE, JOURNEY, SCORPIONS, WHITESNAKE, PINK FLOYD, BOSTON, KANSAS, FOREIGNER, STYX, UFO, BRYAN ADAMS, BAD COMPANY, AL DIMEOLA, AND QUEENSRYCHE. ALL OTHER BANDS TODAY ARE VOMIT.

    Yep,Dickey Betts and Duane Allman would definitely be an education for young guitarists now days. Start with the Allman Bros. filmore album and then the "beginings" album for young up and coming guitarists, and I should mention Toy Caldwell from Marshall Tucker band and Skynyrds "one more from the road" album.

    Hello...Pink Floyd! Boston! ZZ Top! Heart! Journey! Even Steve Miller Band! Think about it all you can picture all of their logos, but some of these while interesting are bands no one even knows. But why is that sick depection of the cross hairs on a Police Oficer in here?

    Tom Watkins, you are a simple minded IDIOT. People like you piss me off. You critisize others & your opion is all that matters. (WRONG). I don't like rap either, i just don't listen to it. I am 51 years old and love alot of the same music you do, but you forgot the most important band of all **
    ** BLACK SABBATH & OZZY OSBOURNE ****
