This time i drew it on paper then scanned it (MUCH EASIER) rather than doing it from scratch in photoshop. I couldnt be bothered fixing up a few things here and there (white thing in letter, size and spots around letters).

Subverting Conciousness:

Haha yeah, Jonas, it is good.


Moe Blunts that was probably the dumbest thing you have ever said.

Legibility of the piece certainly does not lower the quality of the piece. I think Hez's piece is in the perfect middle. You can make out letters, but not the whole phrase without some thought. I'll be honest and admit that I asked him to tell me what it said.
Without "Subverting Consciousness" in bold im willing to bet that you couldn't have simply read it straight off the screen.


The fact of the matter, is that the logo looks fucking sick, and Hez has shown a great deal of talent here.

sifnt spot out more important things. I couldnt get over the fact that the R, T and N in "Subverting" has thicker letters in comparison to everything else (especially "Conciousness"). I shrunk them a tiny bit using liquify though.

Fair enough Mo, im really into the logos going around brutal death metal, theres some really great looking stuff, regardless if you can read it or not.

Looks pretty good...but I think I actually liked your last one better. I don't have a band yet, but when i do I think it will be called "Afterthought of Audacity."

hint hint... :p

If you could make me a logo that would be beyond awesome.

That's pretty good. I've never seen 10,000 logos that look exactly like that. Props.

suck on a niggers turd

i like it hez, nice one. Dont like the glow and stuff but the form of the logo is nice

In future Id use Adobe Illustrator though, just so its Vector and therefore infinitely scalable. Is all.

Cool band name, but the logo is kinda... gay. It doesn't have to look so 'brutal' looking you know. It's not the right kind of band name for that logo.

Here is my bands name. Figure it out. (http://whatsthatbug.com/images/mashed_potato_bug.jpg)

I understood you correctly that you made it by hand, yes? What types of pens and so forth do you use?

I just used a HB pencil then went over it with a 0.4 fineliner.

What about Defeated Sanity? Are they an exception? :p

You shouldn't compare your logo to Defeated Sanity's. It sucks elephant wang. Try being slightly original with your logo, maybe people will recognize it a little better. Or you can just make it identical looking to 5,705 other death metal logos.

Fuck,its better than what 90% of people around here can do,for that,you are commended.I think its damn good.

Like Defeated Sanitys logo? Its so original, no wonder its so recognized. :rolleyes:

Originality doesnt mean anything, its the same with music. If i was to do a logo with a huge penis in the middle of it, it would be original, but not necessarily good.
A band could play music along the lines of rock with a parrot making noices in the backround. Thats hella original, doesnt mean its good though. :cool:

Composition > Originality :)

Having a penis or a parrot in those situations actually wouldn't be original. It would be derivative with a gimmick. Big difference, and don't pollute a decent argument with such fallacies. Doing something original is always important, and orthography is a non-trivial area. Aside from that, the music should probably be original as well. But the logo is much more important.

Shove it off, a dead crab on a beach doesn't mark artisitic talent.

Well it is a pretty well done one, Hez that is.

its cool but i like the white against black, kinda amateur looking logos, its been done to death tho. also it has to be unreadable because then you can sneer at anyone who cant decipher it and condescend them about "not getting it".

im a big fan of no logo but equally identifyable piece of art or symbol for merch,covers. where the name is just a small nice font but a motif in art is moreso the logo. i really like silk-screened lo-fi production of album,merch art. basic one color prints that arent perfect. cool design,minimalist approach
