Logo Rhythm: Band Logos that Rocked the World | Jim K Davies & Jamie Ellul

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.
