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...

Idiot deciphers metal logo at 2am
Просмотров 3,3 тыс.Месяц назад
This footage was recorded in anticipation of episode 32 of Deciphering Metal Logos to be released on Instagram. 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. Logo Designer: (unknown) Band name: Spli...
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
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.2 месяца назад
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
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.2 месяца назад
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...
Animate chamfered corners in Adobe After Effects
Просмотров 552 месяца назад
Tired of that dated rounded corners aesthetic? Now you can animate yourself some dynamic CHAMFERED CORNERS in After Effects to really drive home that neo-industrial / brutalist / cyberpunk look. And it only takes a couple of basic additions to your shape layer! I wasn't able to find the usual "helpful hints" or "quick tips" video for making adjustable diagonal corners on RUclips or elsewhere, s...
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...
Rating Metal Logos in 2024 (the overcomplicated way)

Are you looking for a concrete and precise method for determining the difficulty of an illegible metal logo you found on some worn out shirt at your local thrift shop? Well my friend, Octave Industries has delivered - in the form of an overcomplicated spreadsheet accessible FOR FREE via Google Docs. After almost 30 episodes of Deciphering Metal Logos, I have put together a rubric for rating met...
This metal logo is MISSING LETTERS???
Просмотров 7014 месяца назад
Just about everything that could have gone wrong with this potential episode of Deciphering Metal Logos... did. Although this time it didn't have anything to do with the logo being difficult or near-impossible to read. Disregarding my incompetence resulting in a prolonged recording without any audio, it doesn't seem like all 51 letters of "Eximperituserqethhzebibšiptugakkathšulweliarzaxułum" sh...

Deciphering my first SOCIALLY UNACCEPTABLE metal logo
Просмотров 3 тыс.7 месяцев назад
The second metal logo I chose to decipher without any assistance or external input turned out to be a little disappointing because I won't be able to feature it on my Instagram or TikTok... for reasons you may be able to assume based on the title. That aside, I still have an appreciation for the logo's design (the silhouette of which reminds me of a crab) on both a large and small scale. This t...
Metal Logo BOSS ENCOUNTER (it took me WEEKS!)
Просмотров 3,4 тыс.10 месяцев назад
Second only to Xavleg, one of the most highly requested metal logos finally has a place in the DML roster and not to mention some extensive behind the scenes footage! Over the course of about a month or so, I communicated with the logo's designer Bridgette Barnes who was generous enough to provide hints along my way to the solution. Sanguisugabogg's logo is instantly-recognizable to many becaus...

🔽 Expand description to see the band's name 🔽 Take a look behind the scenes as I obsess over yet another LEVEL 5 DIFFICULTY metal logo for an irrational amount of time. This one is deceptively difficult as the letterforms are inconsistent in width, and many have strange extensions and extra "strokes" that will surely confuse even the most well-trained of eyes. Including mine. This logo was subm...
"ONE THOUSAND" Metal Logo Design Timelapse
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.Год назад
I made this metal-inspired lettering to say thank you for my first 1000 followers on Instagram... only to see that number grow over six times over in the past week. All of you are making what I have envisioned for Octave Industries possible, and I cannot express enough appreciation for that. This design was made entirely in Procreate. If you are trying to design your own metal logo, I hope this...

Is this what being dyslexic is like?
at the beginning i was kinda squinting at the right half and could kiindda make it out an R and a P (and a lowercase e lol) and that's it.. this kinda breakdown is really cool!! especially since the vertical line breakdown is also used for ambigrams!
Bro
Cool
I think that there is an S the right way at the end
Imagine doing it blindly. It's Library of Babel in a logo form.
I feel like they just drew the logo first, then figured out what their name was
at this point, whenever i see a logo like this, i just automatically assume its xavlegbmaofffassssitimiwoamndutroabcwapwaeiippohfffx
There should be a competition where opponents are competing to decode the most unreadable metal logos in 4 minutes.
oh what is this
tbh it looks like some just took a pen while being a bit... in rage...
how long have you been doing this for?
@@jlo9993 this series has been going on for about a year now!
@@OctaveIndustries really!! i should binge watch it so i can learn how to do this and flex on everyone i know
7:05 remember though, we write "th" because that was a latin approximation of a greek letter, but i guess if you knew this was a native latin word then that would be fine
i can kinda see it, wow
i sent you a message on instagram with a logo submission, how often do you do those?
@@davis4107 somewhat regularly, but with the most recent reel I posted blowing up I suspect I'll have a whole lot of message requests to sort through. I'll do my best to reply soon!
Now that's really fucking impressive
why does youtube think that i want to watch this
because you do want to watch this
because I made a blood sacrifice to the algorithm
@@OctaveIndustries makes sense
well you clicked on it didn't you?
I don’t know why it thought that either but I’m glad that it did
bros just making shit up lmfao
🤨
"designer" lol
It's definitely more on the side of illustration or hand lettering than design. "Logo artist" sounds weird to me but it makes more sense in this case.
hard
This logo invokes a sense of fear
Are you talking from a formal standpoint or that you're legitimately intimidated by its presence?
It is very intimidating
it just looks like fuzzy carpet
Use the transform effect and if gives you issues nest the clip and then put the transform on it. Also try using adjustment layers with transform effect instead of key framing the video clip itself
I haven't considered that approach, but I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the suggestion!
you should also start a series of deciphering wildstyle graffiti, wildstyle graffiti is very similar to band logos with really distorted letter structures and random extentions. even upon knowing the name, deciphering the wildstyle is practically impossible
Recommended!
sick as hell
Bro you are a wizard at this!! I dont know how you managed this one... crazy logo!!
Oh you haven't seen the least of it -- check out "Metal Logo BOSS ENCOUNTER". At least the letters are all somewhat distinct in this one!
couldnt you just put a contrast filter on and inverse the colors?
awesome
im at 10:40 and I will guess Spontaneous Lightning Spear
damn
@@Ea-Nāṣir1750BC hey I'll give you credit for trying! I like the sound of that haha
I love sandwichsausagedog
underrated af keep it up
@@akooatic thank you! That's the plan :)
Unless you think it would spoil the magic, it would be cool at the very end to colour each letter different such that us mere mortals have a chance of seeing what you see
@@Untoldanimations nah that's not really what I'm worried about! Part of the reason I don't is because that more or less takes place in the companion series I run on Instagram... but especially for logos like this one, that doesn't always help. A color-separated walkthrough is a good idea.
@@OctaveIndustries ya I came from your Instagram. Even though I’m a fan of quite a few of the bands you decipher, I still to this day don’t know how to read their logos even after you point out the letters.
why did i get so invested
For such a cool logo the band name really dissapointed me. Rest of their style is on point as well though.
I really enjoyed the video! Very glad I clicked the recommendation. At the end, it would've been really cool to have each individual letter highlighted in a contrasting color so that the viewer could try to hold the entire name in their head all at once.
Yeah I agree, I could have done a better job of clarifying them individually. The reel I uploaded to Instagram that covers this logo does that pretty quickly, but it's still admittedly pretty hard to pick up on. Thanks for the feedback!
really cool logo
such a fucking rad logo, hell yeah
i thouht that said 668k views what
One of the best "why is this in me recommended videos" I had so far. Crossing my fingers the all powerful alogrithm is doing it's thing and your channel tenfolds in subs before the end of the month, would definetly be deserved.
Your prayers to the algorithm will not go unrecognized.
The title killed me 😂
Glad my mild self-deprecation paid off 👍
3:40 Kitty :D
Like... that's what those letters look like to you? Haha
@@OctaveIndustries yeah the lines you highlighted in yellow at that timestamp kinda look like a cat's side profile. KINDA lol.
@@gabet7193oh I SEE IT NOW
Please never stop making these fr, I love these vids and I hope other people appreciate them as well and that you make it big on RUclips
Much love, thank you :)
Till this day, I still don't know how the Beziers work. I don't think anybody knows...
if you want a much cleaner fill that is less time consuming just select the logo itself , right click do select inverse , add a new layer , fill that layer with your desired color of choice and then just remove any color that is outside of the logo itself. if there's areas that are still somewhat not filled in properly just go to layerstyle and put stroke on it just less time consuming and more efficient.
Still trying to figure out how to read Party Canon's logo. Shit's gotta be a 6/5 for sure.
hell yeah
at first I thought it was a liquid death brand tie in
I bide my time...
I'm waiting to see the metal logos I submitted via instagram to show up XD
new strat just dropped
no guarantee it'll work for any other logo out there haha
Metal 🤘🤘
