Here we begin our journey into the logos that make me proud to listen to metal. I would wear these logos on a tshirt at the gym and the beefcakes bullies would be so intimidated that they would stop making fun of my Yogilates X-Treme Kegel Blaster routine (patent pending). Here are the best scratchy band logos, 10 through 6.
Read part 1 here.
10. THE RED CHORD
To be completely honest, this logo is not that great. However, in high school I thought that it was the most badass thing on the face of the planet, so I am including it for nostalgic reasons. This is my list and not yours, suck it. That being said, the R is magnificent with it’s insect-like descender. I also greatly enjoy the E’s and H’s. I’ve always found the D’s to be a little bit awkward. High school me always did pretty well though, so he had to know one or two things right?
9. ANNOTATIONS OF AN AUTOPSY
This logo absolutely terrifies me. In a genre of music where the idea is to be as evil sounding and looking as possible, this logo truly succeeds. Sure it’s a little over the top but that only adds to it’s effectiveness. Analyzed from a high design perspective, it falls apart at the seams, but this logo is all about the initial gut reaction.
The first thing I think of when I look at this logo is the bugs from Starship Troopers. but not in the campy way that the movie presents them. I think of what it would actually be like to get dropped onto a planet and have to go into a cave filled with spiky, overgrown insects. Needless to say, I would be peeing my pants and praying for a swift rescue from Captain Zim (and a warm bath with Denise Richards).
