I wouldn't qualify a script or a typeface as a logo, so I won't be covering The Beatles or Run DMC or ABBA. They get enough press as is. I still have The Weirdos, King Diamond, L7, Tytan and Stukas Over Bedrock to cover!

The whole black and white Courier New typography epotimizes the band's balance of nerdiness and diligence quite well. And the Pumpkins heart logo should've been included too. I know a dude who got tattooed on his calf.

Is there a more iconic image in indiepop?

anyway, totally worth checking out:

And Run-DMC: totally iconic. Kids in my junior high were rocking that logo in '84 long before most of us had heard "Rock Box."

I think my Prince mania is well documented around here, but the Spinner folks are nuts putting his glyph on top. Prince fans equate that logo with his long, dark '90s period, and it's an annoying symbol to reproduce, by hand or by computer. Plus, honestly, the best Prince logo of all time is the rendering of his name on the cover of the 1999 album (the only Prince T-shirt I own).

Something has to be said for a band logo that rises in ubiquity as the musicians it represents continue to fall creatively.
