Logo Rhythm

Band Logos that Rocked the World

Band logos aren’t often observed collectively - and are more than not seen in singular form on a t-shirt. Logo Rhythm dives deep into the artistry behind some of the most iconic designs in music history. From the Rolling Stones’ legendary ‘tongue and lips’ to the rebellious branding of The Ramones and AC/DC, Logo Rhythm unearths the stories and design evolution behind these timeless symbols of music culture.

What really struck me about this book is the intersection of graphic design and music, and how logos not only serve as branding but also as badges of allegiance. They carry deep meaning, connecting fans to the ethos of their favourite bands. Logo Rhythm is a visual and narrative exploration of how design impacts identity.

The book’s insights from prominent designers, including Beatles art director Kosh and Bowie designer Jonathan Barnbrook, reveal the often untold stories behind these visual identities. It’s a reminder that logos, while often seen as simple, carry immense cultural weight and the way they are perceived can shape our connection to a brand, a movement or a piece of art.
