First, please pay special attention to the following rules: - You have to comment on the logo you post and explain why it is your fav; - You should avoid posting large images; - You should remove IMG tags when quoting a logo (replacing them with URL tags would be better); - You should refrain from using images on metal-archives, for they don't show up. Of course, anyone who will ignore those rules will be exposed to sanctions. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - One of my favorite band logo is Dream Theater's classic logo, featured on mmost of their releases. I especially like it when colored in yello. It's soft and classy, based on a cool font with some nice alterations of the roman type of font. It's very well integrated to their covers (on Awake or Metropolis part II for example). The "Majesty" symbol is great too though I wouldn't like to see it replacing the "name logo" on a CD cover, for example.  I was extremely worried when they changed logos on Falling Into Infinity, since this other one was... crappy, even though still based on a simple and clear font.

Written by Damnated on 10.10.2006 at 17:46 If the image is too big, simply write down the URL. Ultra big images are automatically resized but the resized images are still too big considering there could be one image per post in this thread (thus making it slower to load). Basically, I think it's pointless to post a logo that is bigger than what you can see on the actual CD cover.

 There are many band logos I like and I like most of them simply because they are artistic. I've chosen Vital Remains' logo because, IMO, this logo points out to which 'remains' it calls 'vital'. The lines, circles and alphabets in the logo seem to be symbols used in ancient or medieval times (I think so because similar types of figures are there in ancient Hindu mystic practices as well). I believe some of the symbols(alphabets) there symbolize Greek gods.

As stupid as it sounds, I had no idea the Xasthur logo looked like that. That's a damn attractive logo. Favourite logos: Sonata Arctica http://www.nolifetilmetal.com/images/sonata_logo.jpg I love the symmetry and it seems to go well with the music, that smooth yet straight feel. Death http://www.truemetal.org/colombianmetal/specials/death_logo.jpg I really like the positioning of the scythe. This logo differs from a lot of traditional death metal logos and I do think that Death ended up as an original band. Obituary http://www.eternal-terror.com/graphics/logos/logo_obituary.jpg That staff thing in the middle is great, even though it doesn't appear in all their logos. But it's a pretty bold logo overall. Mayhem http://www.bm-addict.com/encyclopedia/norwegian/images/mayhem01_logo.jpg This logo looks somewhat smart as well as reckless. I can't explain but it's absolutely beautfiul. The inverted cross, the bat wings....it's just so pleasing to the eye. Opeth http://www.ilosaarirock.fi/2003/bandit/bandit_images/opeth_logo.gif So beautiful and sinister simultaneously. The intricaies of the 'O' illustrate that same attribute in the music and the rest of the font has that dangerous edge, which was probably more noticable in their earlier work. I might post more if I get the time. And I do hope the damn pictures all show up as I linked them from other places.

My favourite band logo came from Moi Dix Mois, they are a japanese Avant-garde, gothic metal band, the logo is depicted in my avatar image, so, you don't need to look so far... I like it beacuse of its shape, is a circle with a sort of endecagram with a cross in the middle, it has a magic feeling for me, so i've chosen it. <----- <-----

Mayhem http://www.bm-addict.com/encyclopedia/norwegian/images/mayhem01_logo.jpg I hope Daru Jericho doesn't mind me using her link.. Anyway have always liked the Mayhem logo for its upside down crosses on eaither end and the general look.. Although its a bit more basic compared to what I generally like.. Blut Aus Nord http://www.metalorgie.com/grp_logo/971-logo_Blut_Aus_Nord.png One of the best logos around as far as I'm concerned. I really liked this logo for quite a while. Horna http://www.maelstrom.nu/ezine/img7/hornalogo.jpg Its got similarities to Mayhem's logo but its a lot better in terms of quality and its a lot more complicated and intrinsically designed. Emperor http://www.piercingmetal.com/graphics/logo_emperor.jpg I have always like Emperor's logo. There was a time when I had heard only a few Black Metal bands and Emperor was one of them. At that time it was undoutable the best and I thought it was amazing. Now its a simple font but earlier it was just awesome. I still like it because of those times and what Emperor ment to me then.. Beherit http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/33/Beherit_logo.jpg/200px-Beherit_logo.jpg http://www.sadomator.com/beherit/images/logo01.jpg I like both their logo's although the second one lacts detail. I still like the horns and all in it and the detail on the upside down cross. If the quality were better I would say its one of the best. The newer version has better quality but looks less intrinsic comparatively. Nargaroth http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/varathron1/nargaroth_logo.jpg Well this is another favorite.. I like the scythes like stuff on the sides and the central weapons with the font and everything included. Overall very nice and Black Metal like.. Ravensblood http://www.mz.art.pl/promote/Ravensblood_logo.gif Amazing amazing logo. There are two ravens at the begining and the end. There guys are brutal french Black Metal. Very very complicated logo. It took me a while to notice everything in it.. Crossed axes in the back.. Very nice.. Ornaments of Sin http://www.mz.art.pl/interviews/OOS_logo.gif Haha try to read this one. One of the most illegible yet clearly designed logos around. It took me ages to figure out how to read it and I still get confused. Good luck reading this one. I got to hear this band a bit thanks mainly to Sombre Chemin who are another awesome band.. Enslaved http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Palladium/1747/logo.jpg I found Enslaved's logo quite nice as well although its not that artistic, its got an odd solidness in the way its drawn and forms wolves and stuff at the edges which are rounded rather than sharp.. Its different from typical Black Metal logo's but its quite nice in its own way.. There are lot of logos in this link and a few album covers as well.. Some of them suck and some are ok http://www.lakmus.ru/design/metal.html There are few more which I like but can't remember them all..

definitly the Belphegor logo for me, it so gruesome, the two inverted crosses, the text looks like dripping blood, not to mention theres a lot of little details you notice when taking a closer look, like the worm or maggot thingy crawling through the 'O' http://www.into-obscurity.com/images/interviews/belphegor/belphegor.jpg

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 09.05.2007 at 16:50 Well, actually, he's not as famous as his logos... Like for Emperor, Old Man's Child, Borknagar, Enthroned.... and about 100000 more...

Songe d'Enfer - pretty unknown band, but freakin awwesome logo!  its just so detailed (without being over-the-top), and looks great!

Tool. It's simple yet effective, you can't say much about this logo, it says nothing about the band. http://www.adesgana.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3016/1971/400/tool.jpg
