Wyld Card 5 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Wow the Stones had nearly as many points as the Monkees and Who combined at #2 & 3. Link to post Share on other sites
Rayzor 1 Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) I can't believe both of my noms made it in! Too bad for Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers though... that's an awesome logo. Edited December 31, 2012 by Guest Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 22 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Oh man, so close on Roger Clyne. The only band whose merch tent looks like it could have its own line at Target. I'm going to see if we can get a graphic designer to break these down for the blog - explain the fonts and such. If you guys know anyone who does this stuff, let me know.

bluesboy 5 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Carl, maybe you could get an interview with the founding members of Hipgnosis (Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell) or Roger Dean ( artist of Yes album covers) and kill two birds with one stone. Link to post Share on other sites
_Laurie_ 11 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Oh that would be awesome! Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 22 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Carl, maybe you could get an interview with the founding members of Hipgnosis (Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell) or Roger Dean ( artist of Yes album covers) and kill two birds with one stone. That's a good idea. Storm Thorgerson might be my favorite Rock illustrator. Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 22 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Here it is on the blog - our design expert like The Stones logo too (but not The Dead). Thanks for Rocky for help writing this: http://www.songfacts.com/blog/writing/best_band_logos/ Link to post Share on other sites

Uncle Paul 0 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I realize I'm jumpin' in real late on this one; I just got on board after being away from Songfacts for a long time... Can't believe nobody mentioned (or remembered?) the 70's glam-rock band Angel! (Punky Meadows, Frank Dimino, Greg Giuffria, Barry Brandt, Felix Robinson). Not only did they have some really great rocking songs, their LOGO was the only one that I recall that was perfectly legible upside-down! That was pretty much everyone's mindset at the time, come to think of it! (Damn, can't figure out how to show the logo here - I attached...) Link to post Share on other sites

Carl 22 Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Very generic band name with a very original logo. I like it. Link to post Share on other sites
