First, please pay special attention to the following rules:

- You have to comment on the logo you post and explain why it is your fav;
- You should avoid posting large images;
- You should remove IMG tags when quoting a logo (replacing them with URL tags would be better);
- You should refrain from using images on metal-archives, for they don't show up.

Of course, anyone who will ignore those rules will be exposed to sanctions.

One of my favorite band logo is Dream Theater's classic logo, featured on mmost of their releases. I especially like it when colored in yello. It's soft and classy, based on a cool font with some nice alterations of the roman type of font. It's very well integrated to their covers (on Awake or Metropolis part II for example).

The "Majesty" symbol is great too though I wouldn't like to see it replacing the "name logo" on a CD cover, for example.

I was extremely worried when they changed logos on Falling Into Infinity, since this other one was... crappy, even though still based on a simple and clear font.

I like the old one... Specially after I learned how to read it! It was quite silly... I was at Roadburn and some dude in a WITTR hoodie who was taller than me was right in front so since I didn't have anything to do I just stared at the old logo for like 10 minutes and right before the guy went out of the way I was like "Oooooooooh NOW I see it!". ---- Written by BloodTears on 19.08.2011 at 18:29 Like you could kiss my ass Written by Milena on 20.06.2012 at 10:49 Rod, let me love you.

The Wolves one you can actually read is decent. I don't think it's that bad. Also, I found the "lin" part of Weakling almost immediately so it can't be difficult to read. I have to say that I don't buy the Triste explanation.

Karlabos Posts: 5775	Permalink +1 06.09.2021 - 23:04 Karlabos Posts: 5775 I always thought the concept of AFoS's logo pretty cool If you look at the whole thing it looks like a forest, but if you pay attention to the top area, it's actually hands reaching for the stars. Thus, "A Forest of Stars". Quite the cute design ---- "Aah! The cat turned into a cat!" - Reimu Hakurei Loading...
