![]() How cool is that?! If you want to download any of them for free you can find them here. The majority of the “images” used here are actually just music fonts. ![]() However, there are countless ways and numerous programs that can help you to achieve the same effect. I then just simply uploaded it to YouTube and voilà! Prior to all of this I just had to customize and adjust the timing of each slide. mov file and exported to Windows Movie Maker. I did thorough internet research to identify the proper fonts and I think I got as close as I could (fingers crossed)! The whole presentation was created through PowerPoint 2010 and saved as a. I’ll probably geek out on a future post about the glory of band logos–so stay tuned. Some more modern day music typography and band logos that you might recognize include: Radiohead, The xx, Weezer, RHCP, Muse, Thursday, Nirvana, Run DMC, and many, many more. They all also have very memorable logos: Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Kiss, The Doors, AC/DC, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, and The Who. I picked ten bands that should definitely be recognized as fairly prominent heavy weights in the rock and music culture.

You can find many of them online that are free to download. Thankfully, some typography saviors out there decided to create fonts that closely mirrored or were identical to the ones we associate with those bands. Typography enthusiasts were clamoring to find out what the font names being used by some of these bands were however, since some of them were specially created by designers for the band, there wasn’t any way to use them.

It was used in promotional flyers for the band’s gigs as well as the art for Keith Moon’s drum set. The infamous logo created by Brian Pike for the The Who is a solid example of this. ![]() What’s also really cool here is that some of the typography used by popular bands has not even ever actually appeared on one of their album covers. It is not just the iconic sounds and album art from their albums that have transcended time (although those are GREAT too) the typography is what’s made them and their brand truly memorable. What’s interesting to me though is that some of their logos are actually just fonts. I decided to combine it with another area of study that I’ve really enjoyed learning about this semester-typography!īands’ logos are recognizable and timeless. I have an unfaltering passion for everything music (See: basically every other post on this blog). For our final project in Visual Rhetorics we had to create and design a presentation that could stand alone. A presentation should have a clear and provoking message. We have been studying presentation design and techniques in class with the help of Presentation Zen by Garr Reynolds & Resonate by Nancy Duarte.
