For me, the logos that woke me up were those of the 2 Tone label. How did I know that they had woken me?, I began to draw them on my pencil case, on my school bag, on anything that needed a bad reproduction of those cool monochrome band names.
Logo Rhythm is a beautifully published celebration of the band logo that spans 70 years - taking us from the British beat groups of the '60s to Bowie's Black Star. In between you'll find over 100 iconic logos that find themselves branded into our brain, taking us from punk to pop, mod to metal and hip hop to hardcore.
This is an incredible visual celebration of an under-appreciated graphic art, covering powerful marks and designs from more obscure corners of the music industry, together with more familiar classics. It also includes contributions from luminaries of the graphic design and music industries, including Beatles art director Kosh, Bowie designer Jonathan Barnbrook, Studio.Build director Micheal C Place, Monotype creative director and type designer Phil Garnham, Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand and many, many more..
