    I would pay good money for a Microdot design book. One with the stories behind the design, like Michael Bierut's book.

    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.

    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.

  • @peanutismint

    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.

    @balke7935 2 года назад +2

    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 Never gets out of date or dull, pure class.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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

      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 !!!.
