My, what a large metal logo you have...
Come all ye hither! Bear witness to one of the longest metal logos from throughout the lands!
One of the many "illegible metal band logo" Reddit threads I've come across was started by u/Absen-7, who kicked off the discussion with a "Slamming Brutal Death Metal" band from New Mexico known as Biohazardous Human Metamorphosis. It's not the longest band name we've looked at, nor is it the most outrageous logo, but I was surprised to have never seen or heard of the group since I started this series almost a year ago.
Totaling 30 characters in all, most of the difficulty in Biohazardous Human Metamorphosis's logo comes from from the excessively condensed letterforms and the fact that none of the...

DML, for short, is part of an ongoing series in which I attempt to accurately identify all of the letters in slam metal, death metal, black metal, doom metal, grindcore, and deathcore logos - often with some guidance from the original designer.

Metal logo vs Photoshop paint bucket tool
Просмотров 9782 месяца назад
Watch the riveting showdown unfold between a metal logo that has more than one trick up its sleeve and a point-and-click tool that's been in Photoshop since 1988. WHO WILL WIN??? This one's gonna put you on the edge of your seats, folks. But seriously, if the assumed positive space of this logo was properly enclosed to begin with, this thing wouldn't pose that much of a threat. It is "solvable"...
The metal logo straight out of Berserk

This densely-packed amalgamation of humanoid monster parts is actually supposed to say something? You should be used to this by now. In all honesty, this logo is not all that hard to figure out with the band's name in hand. The difficulty comes from largely from the complexity of its design and only partially from a couple of not-so-apparent letterforms - meaning it is more intimidating than an...
This metal logo needs an official solution

What is a metal logo without an explanation provided by its original designer but an excess of somewhat attractive scribbles? Although much of this video was spent shooting in the dark for first the name of the band and later the solution itself, I later teamed up with Kod's Metal Logos to try and nail down where the letters are supposed to be. The second half of the logo is significantly easie...

This metal logo taught me Latin
Просмотров 8853 месяца назад
An unreadable metal logo with five letters would normally be a walk in the park... unless the letters aren't exactly there in the first place. And especially not if it's in Latin. This logo is reminiscent of modern cybersigilism and is almost entirely symmetrical, save for a couple of small details that gave me nothing more than hints as to what and where the letters are. It is distinct from th...

Deciphering my first SOCIALLY UNACCEPTABLE metal logo
