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 😂
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.
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!
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 Never gets out of date or dull, pure class.
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.
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!
What a fantastic video... incorporating an iconic band with design and history. Loved hearing about the thought process and the internal struggle for perfection.
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 !
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!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
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!
Heard Brian on the Chris Moyles show where he mentioned this channel. Excellent mini documentary, really enjoyed it and looking forward to the next show. Thank you Brian, for this and your contribution to British art and pop art.
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 .
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!
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.
Keep the videos coming. Met you at Shiiine a few years back and left with some T-shirts and signed posters. The tiny details are important and the fans buzz off them. Cheers kid!
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
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 👌🏻
Remember seeing that logo for the first time in 94 and got it right away as I love early Stones. Brilliant vid Brian. Your Mad For It! (sorry) couldn't resist.
Brian Your A Legend! I've been an Oasis fan since 94' n I also know the history of the logo (or what I thought I knew!?) But didn't know that it was You that got Oasis n The Verve together etc! Thanks a lot Man n can't wait till your next upload! Cheers
Hi Brian I called into your shop on Saturday - a true rock and roll pilgrimage - shame you were out but your other half was very gracious and insightful to me - I remember buying the early verve eps back in my sixth form days and this whole creative sequence has such meaning to me. Man it was really something to pick up that VERVE number plate and rest my hand on boneheads fireplace - what a treasure trove!! I would have bought a T-shirt but no xs size? Catch you next time maybe - we’ll definitely, fascinating videos - request would be to see videos on how you made the sleeves - ie how does the supersonic sleeve loom the way it does? How were the photos washed or manipulated? Also more intel on those amazing early verve eps - the stories and creative / technical processing ? Love the work the ultimate rock and roll and art infusion x
Fantastic video! Have just discovered this channel recently and it's amazing to hear more in-depth tales of everything Oasis. The logo was one of the first things that drew me in about the band when I was young. I just thought it looked so cool.
Thank you Brian for an awesome logo (your art and other works) I really enjoyed the video and cannot wait for more of these stories. Greetings from Mexico
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.
Fantastic as expected from Brian; the history of how these sleeves, logos etc came to be from the most important British bands is inspiring...looking forward to the next episodes. Cheers
Great vid Brian! You're a great story teller and all these tid bits of gold will no doubt bring a great joy and interest to oasis fans worldwide. My favourite sleeve will always be "Some Might Say" - a place I go cycling near Rosslyn Chapel just outside of Edinburgh has this great disused railway line with a station like the one from the cover and every time I go past there I belt out some might say like a right eejit without a care in the world - an automatic response triggered by a cracking song and an equally cracking sleeve - Top man Brian!
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.

That logo does something to my brain whenever I look at it. So many great memories.
As a graphic designer and an Oasis fan, I enjoyed this very much. Would love to see more of your work.

Brian Cannon and Microdot, two legendary names I grew up admiring and being inspired by. Great to hear your insights, please do more.
'Typographical Hero' - Not phrase you hear everyday.

As a graphic designer and a massive Oasis fan this was a real treat
Quality history Brian Cannon. Great stories for all OASIS fans
This is priceless. That logo means so much. It is my youth. Here I am, 42 years old.
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.
Absolutely love it! It´s iconic. Thank you Brian!
Loved this - suggestions for a the next one: the making of the cover of Verve's debut single in Mesnes Park!
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!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Top video, top design, top bloke. Thanks Bri, love these insights into how sleeves that defined the mid-90s were created. More please 👍🏻
That original is a priceless piece of Oasis history. Please keep these videos coming.
All these years later and we are getting answers to all the questions we thought we'd never get answered. Just amazing to hear
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!
Brilliant stuff Brian.- can't wait to hear about the early verve ep covers. Especially 'gravity grave' - that photo is class.
Heard Brian on the Chris Moyles show where he mentioned this channel. Excellent mini documentary, really enjoyed it and looking forward to the next show. Thank you Brian, for this and your contribution to British art and pop art.
Great video! Looking forward to visiting the shop when I’m in the Lake District in November!
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.
Best debute RUclips video I’ve ever seen
Super interesting, saw you on the Chris Moyles show, looking forward to hearing more history!

Love your story about the scrapped car. Really looking forward to the next one!

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.
Awesome story telling! Never knew the logo went through so many different changes! Gotta give us more!
Really enjoyed this, very interesting. Please do more.
This was amazing, I'm dying to hear more, please please please make more videos
priceless to have this info right from you. Looking forward to your verve related clips.
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.
Great video, more of these please!!
Whooo so interesting,thank you for sharing ,amazing store
Thanks Brian, liked and subscribed, looking forward to more
It would be great to have an episode on each of the sleeves and what went behind it 👌

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!
Really interesting, great work Brian. Now i see where all the money I've spent has gone, love it. More more MORE!!
Thank you Brian for an awesome logo (your art and other works) I really enjoyed the video and cannot wait for more of these stories. Greetings from Mexico
