What I notice is that sometimes I can look at a bands logo and wonder if they are a so and so genre, then I am right about it.

I think it is safe to say that most unreadable logo's are of Black Metal. When there is blood off a band logo majority of the time its Death Metal. But the first time I saw the logo of Falconer, and Angra, I thought to myself, "Power Metal".

Do you guys feel that there are lots of logo's that reflect off of the genre of metal that band plays?

Also, Power Metal are kind of 'fantastic'. And Death Metal logos are gory. Like Cannibal Corpse, for example. Loading...
