Band logos, much like band posters, are cut from a different cloth than traditional branding. The logos are usually designed by amateur graphic designers giving them a raw, artistic, non-traditional style and feel.

This week I’ve compiled 50 band logos that have survived to become the iconic symbols behind some of our favourite artists. If I’ve missed one of your favourites don’t hesitate to leave a comment.
