I always liked the art deco look of the Van Halen VH logo. Dio's logo, when turned upside down, reads "DEVIL". The original Michael Schenker Group logo, which included a Gibson Flying V guitar in the design, was also a longtime favorite of mine. And just so's ya know Larry: that patch of hair under your bottom lip is called a soul patch. Well, that's the G rated version anyway...
The Yes "bubble logo" first appeared on the cover of the Close to the Edge album. I fell in love with it and thought it was a perfect match for the band, in a mystical way. When people see the lips logo, they know it's the Stones. First appeared on the '71 Sticky Fingers record. That's still a bad ass album to this day. The Grateful Dead Skull and Steal Your Face logos are classic. Great video Larry. 🤠
Some of my favorite logos that come to mind Ramones-presidential seal Black Flag- bars Misfits- crimson ghost Dead Kennedys- DK logo Crass- logo Motörhead- demon logo Public Image- PiL logo Rolling Stones- lips The Germs- blue circle Descendants- Milo logo
Great video Larry. I never used to like that Yes logo because the curve made it look like there were two letter s's, but over time I've got used to it and it probably helps that I like the band's music. Although I'm not a fan of the band I do like the Monkees logo. I always thought one of the best band names and logos was ABBA with the reversed letter B, so simple but so effective, I bet it inspired NIN to reverse their letter N. Also Daft Punk's sew-on patch is very eye-catching.
I love band logos! As for that TOOL logo, yup I agree. It always kind of bugged me that they kept changing their logos with each album. I do like the one for Lateralus best, maybe because it's also my favorite album. But still, bands like AC/DC, KISS, and YES have the better logos for sure! I completely understand your ratings of these. I probably would have included, as you said, the IRON MAIDEN, but also OZZY's and Van Halen's and many others. All in all, I really enjoyed this video, very well done!
I have to say the best IMO is the Queen Logo that Freddie Designed, with the Astrological Signs of the band, Virgo ( Freddie) Cancer (Brian) and Leo (Roger and John) :)
Your #1pick is a good one. One of my favorites also. And regardless of whether I like any of these artists or not, some of my other favorite logos are: Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Sweet, Scorpions, KISS, Motorhead, Def Leppard, Van Halen(VH logo), ELP, ZZ Top, Styx, Ratt and Tomita(Japanese electronic/synthesizer artist).
p.s. Larry, I forgot the logo for the band, Chicago. I've always thought it was cool. I still love their '70s stuff. You look like you feel a lot better. Stay safe...
Larry, nice job on the logo round up! Lotsa variety along with a few laughs. As mentioned by a number of viewers the Stones logo is pretty decent. The Hawkwind emblem also pops into mind. Cheers Brian
I am glad you included the Grateful Dead's logo. I get the theme of the video and how you want to see the band's name. I do have to say I think the more iconic Dead logo was the Steal Your Face Logo. As with the Radiohead logo, when people see the Steal Your Face logo, they know it's the Dead. Also with The Rolling Stones lips logo.
I watched this video some months ago, but at that time i wasn't too much into YT. But now i am, so i tell you my favorite ones: #1 ANGEL then: KISS ( the original one, not the german logo, because of the problems with the double SS in Germany) Kansas Chicago The Stranglers (with the rat in it) ... and a lot more.
I really like the Wings logo, my other favourites are the Beatles logo, the Rolling Stones Tongue, the Nirvana logo, the Who logo, the Queen logo, the ZZ Top logo, the AC/DC logo, the Bachman-Turner Overdrive logo, the Guns N Roses logo, the Monkees logo & Yes logo. Sorry to mention the word ‘logo’ a lot in this!😂
Interesting idea. My favorites are Iron Maiden AC/DC Black Sabbath The Rolling Stones The Beatles Judas Priest Kiss Guns n Roses Thin Lizzy Led Zeppelin Sex Pistols PiL
Great video Larry, one of my favorite band logos is the Boognish from Ween, which also serves as the band's mascot. It's somewhat in the same vein as the Nirvana logo.
The Buzzcocks, The Misfits could be added to the list. The Clash logo from the first album. The Damned have had cool logos on their albums. All punk bands.. I know.. White snake has a cool early logo although I like the later logo as well. Great list! Motorhead and AC/DC and Ramones are all classic logos. That's why I own shirts by them as well as Deep Purple and Whitesnake. I'm a Deep Purple Led Zeppelin fan that got into punk early on. I was in a punk band called The Sh#tbirds using The Yardbirds logo. A few eps out and one album. April Marsh was our singer. Famous for the song Chick Habit in her later solo career. I was the bass player til I got canned like Pet Best. Pete Best rOcKs. I love Ringo too.. And I play left hand bass like Paul..
To me part of what makes a great logo is ‘would I try to draw that exactly on my pee chee at school’? I wish I could show you a notebook I had in high school…I meticulously drew that Ramones logo on it. And I worked really hard doing that because I’m not really much of an artist. The Blink 182 logo bugs me because it looks like a rip off of that Nirvana one, and the Weezer one is also annoying to me…almost a Wings logo, but also almost like a wrestling logo or something. I wish that Sparks logo didn’t have the P crossing the S, that bugs me. I love the spark plug from No. 1 in Heaven.
I love the logos of my two favorite bands , the Beatles, & Daryl Hall 26:39 & John Oates. I guess because they’re iconic especially the Beatles one. But I do agree with a lot of your picks. 💁🏻♀️
A lot of those logos are horrible Larry but then so again are their band names,it's like the bands with a decent name usually get a half decent logo,the best logo for me though is the Beatles logo,a very classy logo for a very classy band and the best band ever!,the Stones logo is also very good because it's silly and suits the band,the Who logo is very nice,suitable for the first mod band in the world and the Average White Band's logo is great because the W in the AWB is in the shape of a woman's derriere!,beautiful and clever at the same time!,still the important thing your viewers want to know though Larry is what's your logo? Bob
I'm a huge fan of the Beach Boys, but I have never liked their primary band logo that originated from their album 15 Big Ones. They recently updated their logo, but it's not much of an improvement.
There were a couple of bands in the 1970s.... Essentially contemporaries of KISS that had absolutely fantastic logos: ANGEL and STARZ. Both had great graphic designs and were instantly recognizable and impactful. Those two bands are kind of obscure so I am not surprised you didn't have them in the video. However, I was kind of surprised if you didn't have the Genesis logo design that was used on The Lamb lies down On Broadway
@@canadianstudmuffin Not complaining, just sharing information that I thought you might be interested in. Sorry for replying, I won't do it in the future.
A friend of mine actually got the Bon Jovi logo tattooed on their arm lol.. Hey Larry I know you are not a fan of Bon Jovi, however; is there any songs of theirs that you do like?
I would’ve put the KISS logo at number one. I think the early Van Halen logo from ‘79 would be in my top 10 as well. 4:38 looks like it says “Pork Agast”?
So KISS logo is easily (like them or not) the most recognizable logo EVER!! IMO Besides some you mentioned AC⚡️DC, Yes, Zeppelin, ZZ Top, Metallica, Aerosmith (wings logo) here some of my favs Aerosmith (Toys & Rocks) Alcatrazz Angel April Wine Asia Boston Chicago Cinderella Def Leppard DIO Dokken ELO (New World Record, Out of The Blue) Fastway Foghat GTR Iron Maiden Judas Priest Kansas King Kobra Lizzy Borden Loudness Metal Church Molly Hatchet Ted Nugent Ozzy Osbourne Poison Ratt REO (with the wings) Saxon Scorpions Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band Skid Row Starz T.T.Quick Tesla TNT Triumph Van Halen (78-79 albums) Whitesnake (all eras) Y&T
I am a huge fan of Dave Matthews Band but I don't get the logo. And I think it's ugly. My favorite logo is the ZZ Top one but I think the #1 spot belongs to the Stones. Even people that don't care about the band or music know that logo. It's like the golden M, the bitten apple, the three-pointed star in the circle.
I’m just pleased you seem to dislike the same bands I dislike. 😂 We have similar tastes. The Phish logo struck me as odd because the fish seems to have a round nose.. which fish in fact, don’t have. The Dave Mathews Band’s logo is just plain ugly and boring to me also. 😂

That YES logo is too slick - Makes them look Corporate 😄

Black Flag, Motorhead and Judas Priest have really cool classic logos.
Some of my favorite logos that come to mind
Ramones-presidential seal
Black Flag- bars
Misfits- crimson ghost
Dead Kennedys- DK logo
Crass- logo
Motörhead- demon logo
Public Image- PiL logo
Rolling Stones- lips
The Germs- blue circle
Descendants- Milo logo
The band ANGEL has my favorite logo. It reads the same when viewed upside-down. Brilliant...
yeah..there's a name for that
Great video Larry. I never used to like that Yes logo because the curve made it look like there were two letter s's, but over time I've got used to it and it probably helps that I like the band's music.

I think the Stones tongue was recently voted the number 1 most recognised logo or brand in the world.

Some favorites not mentioned; Rush (from the debut), Angel, Chicago & Kansas.

As with the Radiohead logo, when people see the Steal Your Face logo, they know it's the Dead. Also with The Rolling Stones lips logo.
Foo Fighters , NIN & The Who 🇬🇧 are all excellent 👌
Love the Yes logo. The Foxtrot era Genesis logo is cool. Fish has a very effective logo.
I watched this video some months ago, but at that time i wasn't too much into YT.
But now i am, so i tell you my favorite ones:
#1 ANGEL
then:
KISS ( the original one, not the german logo, because of the problems with the double SS in Germany)
Kansas
Chicago
The Stranglers (with the rat in it)
... and a lot more.

Interesting idea. My favorites are
Iron Maiden

I wish that Sparks logo didn’t have the P crossing the S, that bugs me. I love the spark plug from No. 1 in Heaven.
Two other logos I love are the Jam logo with the spray paint and the block lettering Husker Du logo.
totally agree on all of that
I love the logos of my two favorite bands , the Beatles, & Daryl Hall 26:39 & John Oates. I guess because they’re iconic especially the Beatles one. But I do agree with a lot of your picks. 💁🏻♀️
I agree with you on almost all of them. I appreciate the artistic value in the Death logo. I dislike the Sparks logo because it looks like Fparks.
Also, I don't particularly like the Yes logo because the E doesn't look like an E
I like oasis logo with the border. The guy who created it based it on Decca.

Like I said in the pinned comment, there are thousands of band logos, so I can't include all of them. Thanks.

@@markallen2984 No worries, you took my reply the wrong way, all is good.
A friend of mine actually got the Bon Jovi logo tattooed on their arm lol.. Hey Larry I know you are not a fan of Bon Jovi, however; is there any songs of theirs that you do like?
Not really...ha ha.
I love the early King's X logo.
I think I’d place The Moody Blues up there pretty high. Maybe at number one
Interesting, the first one I thought of was the Stones!
Has RUclips really been going for that long.
Yes. I'm in my 17th year.
February 14, 2005
How logo can you gogo? The Monkees logo is awesome, even though it's kinda basic, but the S as the headstock makes it!
The Nirvana logo is definitely my favourite. xx
I would’ve put the KISS logo at number one. I think the early Van Halen logo from ‘79 would be in my top 10 as well. 4:38 looks like it says “Pork Agast”?
Opeth's logo is really elegant.
My Favorites:

I am a huge fan of Dave Matthews Band but I don't get the logo. And I think it's ugly.
My favorite logo is the ZZ Top one but I think the #1 spot belongs to the Stones. Even people that don't care about the band or music know that logo. It's like the golden M, the bitten apple, the three-pointed star in the circle.
Buzzcocks had a pretty nice logo.
Cheap Trick and Spinal Tap logos
What is Pink Floyd's logo ?
It should be the inflatable Pig. Its name was Algie.
The H-I-M logo is good too
The Stones
Best: Bachman-Turner Overdrive. Worst: Bon Jovi
Didn't the Beatles have the first one?
I’m just pleased you seem to dislike the same bands I dislike. 😂 We have similar tastes. The Phish logo struck me as odd because the fish seems to have a round nose.. which fish in fact, don’t have. The Dave Mathews Band’s logo is just plain ugly and boring to me also. 😂
How do you forget to add the most famous rock logo of all time????????????????????x5 lol (at least you remembered later)
