Being an oasis fan from 1994 one of the things I remember from those days was the excitement of buying the singles and albulms the covers and oasis logo was so iconic .. some fascinating insights here thanks Brian
This was fantastic. Your presentation style was well paced and felt like you were sat across from us at a table just having a chat. Depth of field on the camera shot was really tasteful too. I'd love to hear you talk about other bands' logos (even ones you didn't design) in a similar fashion.
Currently in the process of doing rebrand work for a band and i've been stuck with designers block for a while until this video has given me a kick-up the arse. Legendary work, legendary man.
In my school, we got a new computer suite with brand new PCs in 1995. We spent 5 mins every lesson making this logo for the background of our home screen, only for the teacher to make us remove it 😂
Classic logo, the later artwork after 2000 didn't look right at all without it. I remember going into buy Standing on the Shoulder of Giants and not knowing the album sleeve I couldn't find it for ages because the logo was so faint on the cover.
This was fascinating! Being Oasis mad in secondary school my friends and I would mock up our own versions of the logo in Helvetica Black Italic for stickers/wall posters etc.
It’s crazy how much they nailed Helvetica. I come back to it time and time again in my designs and use it as a benchmark by which to gauge other fonts. I think I always will. Never gets out of date or dull, pure class.
This just popped up on my feed, what a great watch, grew up with the band and the artwork is totally classic and went hand in hand with the tunes, cheers!
So glad you finally went on and did this. Remember, sir, YOU are also a large part of OASIS history. Very excited to learn more about the stories behind different sleeves and whatnot. Much love from Canada!
I had the white swirl t-shirt. Bought in 1994 after seeing oasis at Glastonbury and then Newcastle Riverside gig. Wish I had a picture of me in it from then. Bought a few 5ft x 3ft subway oasis posters for the house. Great channel Brian 👏
at first, I thought, how does he gonna talk about a single logo for 19 minutes? surely some old footage of the band, fancy transition and whatnot will be tucked in to squeeze duration. oh how happy am I for being wrong. very concise and informative. straight from the man himself. salute. please do more. thank you.
To a lifelong Oasis fan like me this is fascinating stuff. I was 15 in 1994 and Oasis became and still are my life. I already knew bits and bobs about the logos etc but this went in-depth and I love that! More please!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Big YES to more videos about all the artwork, I have always been really interested about it. I couldn’t understand why the logo had to be skewed as they didn’t have the same font Thanks for this video Brian, I love it. I never realised the font for the Union Jack logo is not the same than the final logo.
Dear Brian, thank you, I received my Lucky Man print & WTSMG Vinyl (signed) ! Amazing, ordered on a Sunday & delivered from the U.K. to Sydney in only 5 days, Quality, well packaged & protected, all in Mint Condition. The Print's now framed & on my wall, whilst the Albums been spinning non stop on my Turn-table. You're a true Gentleman !
Thank you Brian for sharing your memories! I remember buying my Definitely Maybe CD in a mall music store with my mom in 1994 after hearing Oasis on the radio a few times. It was my very first CD and the first I played in a brand new portable CD player that I had just bought. I have always loved the logo and it now adorns the roof rack of my car. Looking forward to hearing more war stories! All the best! Chris - Greensboro, North Carolina USA
What a fantastic video... incorporating an iconic band with design and history. Loved hearing about the thought process and the internal struggle for perfection.
SOOOO good, Brian! Thanks for sharing this history. In '94, my 12 year old self drew this logo on so many school books that I memorized every curve, every angle, every detail. It opened my eyes to design and I subsequently made graphic design my career. You'll always be an inspiration. Cheers for that!
Fantastic history lesson Brian, I've always had a fascination for album and single sleeve designs starting with Peter Saville designs for Joy Division & New Order then onto John Squire's Stone Roses covers, Central Station's Happy Mondays to Designer Republic Orb Artwork. Brian you're up there with the best!
Awesome video As a 25 yearold Oasis fan I enjoyed hearing how much you helped the band with alot of their discography designs and the iconic band logo these stories are fascinating to hear YOU'RE A LEGEND greetings from the US 🤘😎🤘💯
Epic video, outstanding in fact. Growing up loving the band, the logo, the sleeves, the music. I worshipped the whole band, now it is clear that the whole team behind the scenes were on the same page the whole time. It worked, and it was magical. "Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be" - Noel Gallagher (1997).
She’s a Superstar cover would be cool to hear about. I bought a poster print of it from you years ago that hangs in my living room, knowing the full story of how that image was created would be very interesting to hear.
Absolutely LOVE this video! Cheers! When I was a teenager in the 90s I was SO curious about you and Microdot! I’d love to see breakdowns of every cover you worked on to be honest!
Brilliant videos Brian love how passionate you still are over the Oasis artwork I had a lot of the original fly posters in the 90s especially the big 60 x 40 inch ones my favourite was ‘Rocking All Over The World’ promoting both albums at the time ….I always thought the font was also a slight take on The Stone Roses as they used Helvetica bold font on their Silvertone releases. Would also love how you made the Shakermaker sleeve which is my favourite sleeve design Microdot did for the band the concept of putting on the track on the stereo and melting everything because of its vibe I thought was brilliant !!!.
Really great video. As a fellow graphic designer I can totally relate to the 'not having that font' scenario. I love the original logo and wish they'd kept it in the 2000s.
Heard you on Chris Moyles this morning, I thought the interview was fascinating. Thanks for doing the You Tube channel looking forward to hearing your stories .
Cheers mate, i've been hooked on Oasis since 97 when i took a schooltrip to London and bought their first 2 albums at Tower records before going back to Belgium. Oasis has and will be with me through all the high's and low's. Loving your info and channel and can't wait for new vids 👌🏻
top video… as a musician/producer in manchester - it’s nice to have a familiar northern voice talking about my side passion; graphic design and fonts and stuff
This episode was brilliant, Brian. It's fascinating to hear the history of the logo and the other tangential stories, like Bonehead being in charge of selling the merchandise and the horror of what happened to your original tape cassette! Thank goodness the music will live forever. I hope enough people subscribe so you make more episodes to enthrall us with more stories.
I would pay good money for a Microdot design book. One with the stories behind the design, like Michael Bierut's book.
Absolutely a great shout for a microdot book
No you wouldn’t
@@doubledenimdudedress rrry😢really excited

Why? All the stories are here on RUclips.

absolutely
Same with me boss .....great memories
That logo does something to my brain whenever I look at it. So many great memories.
'Typographical Hero' - Not phrase you hear everyday.

As a graphic designer and an Oasis fan, I enjoyed this very much. Would love to see more of your work.

Legendary work, legendary man.

Brian Cannon and Microdot, two legendary names I grew up admiring and being inspired by. Great to hear your insights, please do more.
Classic logo, the later artwork after 2000 didn't look right at all without it. I remember going into buy Standing on the Shoulder of Giants and not knowing the album sleeve I couldn't find it for ages because the logo was so faint on the cover.

Quality history Brian Cannon. Great stories for all OASIS fans
It’s crazy how much they nailed Helvetica. I come back to it time and time again in my designs and use it as a benchmark by which to gauge other fonts. I think I always will. Never gets out of date or dull, pure class.

Agreed .
Who’s the 7 people who gave this a thumbs down? This is gold

As a graphic designer and a massive Oasis fan this was a real treat
So glad you finally went on and did this. Remember, sir, YOU are also a large part of OASIS history. Very excited to learn more about the stories behind different sleeves and whatnot. Much love from Canada!

Thank you for this video. As a designer and especially as a fan of oasis, I was delighted to see this.
This is absolute gold. You are a living legend Brian.
Just finished. Utterly fantastic Brian. You're a blessing bro. Thank you for this! Cannot wait for more!
Loved this - suggestions for a the next one: the making of the cover of Verve's debut single in Mesnes Park!
at first, I thought, how does he gonna talk about a single logo for 19 minutes? surely some old footage of the band, fancy transition and whatnot will be tucked in to squeeze duration. oh how happy am I for being wrong.
very concise and informative. straight from the man himself. salute.
please do more. thank you.
This is priceless. That logo means so much. It is my youth. Here I am, 42 years old.
Thank you Brian for sharing this stories with the Oasis fans, it's amazing to see how the iconic logo came to be.
It would be great to have an episode on each of the sleeves and what went behind it 👌
This is fantastic. I hope more record cover designers take a cue from this.
To a lifelong Oasis fan like me this is fascinating stuff. I was 15 in 1994 and Oasis became and still are my life. I already knew bits and bobs about the logos etc but this went in-depth and I love that! More please!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Not just a brilliant history of the logo, but some really epic stories here! Amazing work Brian :-)

All these years later and we are getting answers to all the questions we thought we'd never get answered. Just amazing to hear
Best debute RUclips video I’ve ever seen
Fantastic history of the Oasis brand!
Fascinating, hopefully there’s more to come. 👍🏻
What a fantastic video... incorporating an iconic band with design and history. Loved hearing about the thought process and the internal struggle for perfection.
Just found this video. As an artist and an oasis fan this blew me away - hope there's more
Absolutely love it! It´s iconic. Thank you Brian!
SOOOO good, Brian! Thanks for sharing this history. In '94, my 12 year old self drew this logo on so many school books that I memorized every curve, every angle, every detail. It opened my eyes to design and I subsequently made graphic design my career. You'll always be an inspiration. Cheers for that!
Very cool video Brian.
Looking forward to a video about the Verve artworks. 🙏🏻👍🏻
Thank you as a music lover and graphic designer I love getting a sneak peek inside your process. And your stories are so good! Thank you.
Loved watching this, getting to know more of the back history of the world's most iconic band.
Super interesting, saw you on the Chris Moyles show, looking forward to hearing more history!
Top job Brian 👏👏
What an incredible video about the history of the oasis logo
Fantastic history lesson Brian, I've always had a fascination for album and single sleeve designs starting with Peter Saville designs for Joy Division & New Order then onto John Squire's Stone Roses covers, Central Station's Happy Mondays to Designer Republic Orb Artwork.
Brian you're up there with the best!
Nice one, thank you very much :) Good Old Times!!
That original is a priceless piece of Oasis history. Please keep these videos coming.
The black and white logo is the best ever IMO.
npc
Brilliant stuff Brian.- can't wait to hear about the early verve ep covers. Especially 'gravity grave' - that photo is class.
Top video, top design, top bloke. Thanks Bri, love these insights into how sleeves that defined the mid-90s were created. More please 👍🏻
Awesome video As a 25 yearold Oasis fan I enjoyed hearing how much you helped the band with alot of their discography designs and the iconic band logo these stories are fascinating to hear YOU'RE A LEGEND greetings from the US 🤘😎🤘💯
Love the font that was used for Oasis . Lends itself brilliantly to t shirts just like my mates band Gun .
Epic video, outstanding in fact. Growing up loving the band, the logo, the sleeves, the music. I worshipped the whole band, now it is clear that the whole team behind the scenes were on the same page the whole time. It worked, and it was magical.

Amazing history here Brian... Thank you for showing us these incredible treasures and for sharing these stories!
This guy's passion is inspiring! Great history and stories here
Brilliant story Brian, Thanks for sharing the history. I will be a BIG fan of yours channel. 👍
She’s a Superstar cover would be cool to hear about. I bought a poster print of it from you years ago that hangs in my living room, knowing the full story of how that image was created would be very interesting to hear.
This was such an interesting story to hear. Incredibly well told by Brian
good work sir!
My teenage years. Right here. Thank you, Brian.
Brian,
Such an amazing journey that you are taking us on. Could listen to this stuff all day long. More please!
Absolutely LOVE this video! Cheers! When I was a teenager in the 90s I was SO curious about you and Microdot! I’d love to see breakdowns of every cover you worked on to be honest!
I didn’t expect to enjoy this so much. Really interesting. Out of interest did you have an office in Shoreditch back in the 90s? Just subscribed
I was about to write exactly the same thing, didn't expect to enjoy 20mins of talking about the Oasis logo :D
Brilliant videos Brian love how passionate you still are over the Oasis artwork I had a lot of the original fly posters in the 90s especially the big 60 x 40 inch ones my favourite was ‘Rocking All Over The World’ promoting both albums at the time ….I always thought the font was also a slight take on The Stone Roses as they used Helvetica bold font on their Silvertone releases.
Would also love how you made the Shakermaker sleeve which is my favourite sleeve design Microdot did for the band the concept of putting on the track on the stereo and melting everything because of its vibe I thought was brilliant !!!.
Like everyone else, I loved the stories and detail. You make a great video host as well - very natural and relaxed. More like this please.
Please do more videos, great detail, well presented. 😉👍
this is stunning
Great video! Looking forward to visiting the shop when I’m in the Lake District in November!
I love this so much. Fascinating history, and Brian is clearly incredibly knowledgable and a bit of a legend haha
Great stuff, can't wait for more!
Did not disappoint Brian 😎
Really great video. As a fellow graphic designer I can totally relate to the 'not having that font' scenario. I love the original logo and wish they'd kept it in the 2000s.
Well worth the 10 year wait! Thank you Brian!
Nice one Brian. Spot on.👍🏻
Wow - amazing - thank you so much - This should go viral - really well made and full of gems from history -THANK YOU!
Awesome story telling! Never knew the logo went through so many different changes! Gotta give us more!
I moved on from Graphic Design about 10 years ago but boy this brings memories of the late 90s and why I was so in love with design back then.
Love your story about the scrapped car. Really looking forward to the next one!
This is great! Hopefully you can do a series where you go over all the album art, including all those amazing singles.
Heard you on Chris Moyles this morning, I thought the interview was fascinating. Thanks for doing the You Tube channel looking forward to hearing your stories .
Lucky to have purchased one of the logo history prints from Microdot, love it
I always called it a design scheme but to call it corporate branding makes sense too!
priceless to have this info right from you. Looking forward to your verve related clips.
This was amazing, I'm dying to hear more, please please please make more videos
Fascinating looking forward to something similar about the verve.
Really interesting, great work Brian. Now i see where all the money I've spent has gone, love it. More more MORE!!
Cheers mate, i've been hooked on Oasis since 97 when i took a schooltrip to London and bought their first 2 albums at Tower records before going back to Belgium. Oasis has and will be with me through all the high's and low's. Loving your info and channel and can't wait for new vids 👌🏻
Cool to see this. I’ve listened to Oasis over the years and years and years and now recently I really want to dig into oasis!
Brilliant and informative video mate, thanks for all the effort and great to hear these unheard stories
Brilliant work Brian, liked and subscribed 😁
top video… as a musician/producer in manchester - it’s nice to have a familiar northern voice talking about my side passion; graphic design and fonts and stuff
Love it Brian thank you, worth the wait!
I never really got the redesigned logos - this one was sooo iconic. Keep it simple! thx.
Excellent!
Really enjoyed this, very interesting. Please do more.
Fantastic video thanks. Such an iconic logo - it really is cool. Great to hear the history behind it... Ha, the Renault 5 story is a classic. 😎
You could have made 10 episodes with these stories. Fascinating stuff.
This episode was brilliant, Brian. It's fascinating to hear the history of the logo and the other tangential stories, like Bonehead being in charge of selling the merchandise and the horror of what happened to your original tape cassette! Thank goodness the music will live forever. I hope enough people subscribe so you make more episodes to enthrall us with more stories.
"before everyone was a graphic designer!" loved that haha, great stuff, must pop up to Kendal and visit!
