Some logos are not for you
Posted March 28th, 2009.
The popular corporate and brand identity review blog, Brand New, posted an article a while back on logo designs and branding of the music and sub-culture of black and death metal music.
While this obviously not everyone’s cup of tea, some of the feedback was a little unexpected. Many of the readers of Brand New are design savvy, as a result comments and conversations are usually fairly constructive, but not this time.
Many readers who by there own admission have no interest or understanding of the genre, were quick to dismiss the entire thing as a garbled mess. While a few enthusiasts were quick to rise to their defence, most seemed keen to condemn without a second thought.
What do you think?
Obviously they’re not for everyone, but then they were never meant to be.
Although cool individually, they’re all so very redundant and perfectly symmetrical.
I like the detail in the second one.
