What are the best and worst band logos? I look at Misfits, Slipknot, My Chemical Romance, Danzig, Sanguisugabogg and more band logos.

Why you lying about Magic Spoon?
You know how gross it is
that shits expensiveeeeee
Tastes bad😢
love you bro but shit sucks
@FinnMckentyPRMBA Hey Finn I was hoping you could help explain "Screaming" "growling" and "yelling" style vocals that are hard to understand... what denotes Tallent. You criticized Jello and DK vocals...which I totally get...but can you explain how you can dig death metal vocals etc. Thhhhanks dood.
“The Girl With the Slipknot Tattoo” was a great movie
😂😂😂😂😂 now that shit was funny.!
The book was better
I feel honored to be the 69th like on this 🫡
Honestly Slipknot lyrics are still more fucked up than that movie
Laughed like hell at this
Misfits never hid the fact that the logo was from the movie though...
They even had a song about the movie.
.....peehaps you meant; The Misfits logo is the mask which the lead chatacter/arch villain wore to hide his identity in the made for television serial, "The Crimson Ghost". Cheers!
How'd they get away with that? Did the movie ever sue?
@@dalekay9ine i wonder if its public domain at this point
I wouldn’t say Danzig and the Misfits logos are “stolen” as much as they are celebrating things they like. That being said, they owe some people money for sure.
Dated a lass with a Slipknot tattoo and TWO pet ferrets… she was also covered in tattoos and would call me over for some private time but then would act all surprised if her actual boyfriend found out about me being over…. She was insane but did indeed make my toes curl up.
Its always the crazy ones...
I think there's a correlation between being covered in tattoos and bi-polar/manic personality disorder. Not that everyone who gets tattoos is mentally ill, but I think a lot of people do it on a whim because they're impulsive and have a habit of going back and forth. Thus, a plethora of tattoos on a woman becoming a warning sign of the eureka-chica-psycho-loco-mama-baby-lady.
Was she signed to Ferret records?
@@Joseph-vo8ybin my personal life it's a correlation between tattoos and self harm. Tattoos are a healthy outlet for pain and you get a cool picture at the end of it
@@connorpeppermint8635 Hey, yeah, I'm sorry for being insensitive in my comment. I actually have a lot of tattoos and some of them are definitely for that reason. Though I articulated myself carelessly and turned my comment into a joke, I was just meaning to hypothesize about where the stereotype of crazy and tattooed came from (not to make light of mental illness). I'm gonna tattoo a foot to the roof of my mouth now.
To argue the misfits logo, anything prior to the 60s is not protected by copyright. So TECHNICALLY it’s free game.
@@jakeweed1327 i was mentioning in another comment thread that the copyright probably lapsed or possibly its public domain
As a Swede I must insist you take back all that Sabaton shade you just threw.
As a fan of good music, they suck.
I like power metal bands like DragonForce and Galneryus, but Sabaton are just kinda meh to me. I was disappointed that their songwriting wasn't more over-the-top. The vocals are also kinda annoying because they're so gruff yet operatic. I'm not particularly interested in learning about war, either.
Bundle of sticks
@@meowtherainbowx4163 That's actually why I like them lol. I'm not usually a fan of Power Metal though, so it might be because they don't sound typical. I could take or leave the war themes tbh. I totally understand calling them cheesy, but I don't see where people could genuinely call them bad music, while at the same time praising bands like Sanguisugawhatever.
@meowtherainbowx4163 I'm a history teacher. I love hearing about war history, especially World War I. It's power metal. It's cheesy yet great. They are waving the flag for traditional metal.
On Graves-era Misfits: They shouldn’t have called it the Misfits. Famous Monsters and American Psycho were and still are hugely inspirational to the entire horror punk sound, even if it’s not cool to admit it anymore in light of Mike’s… online transgressions.
Interesting point. I thought I read somewhere that after some lawsuits, Jerry actually owned "the Misfits" name.
@@5riversdeep628 I think that’s true, yes. They paid Glenn an ungodly sum of money to do the reunion shows.
Graves era is goat for misfits. What’s his online deal? He always seemed cool to me
@@seakermac5800 he was affiliated with the Proud Boys in 2020 and made some rather strongly worded remarks. Personally, I don’t give a shit about the guys personal life. I just like his music. He’s not a politician, he’s a musician. Judge what matters and fuck the rest.
@@seakermac5800Graves is a white nationalist.
As a graphic designer, I can honestly say that all local bands have stupid ideas for logos, and sometimes, we just have to accept it.
But all bands are just local bands at some point..🤔
most of these logos are made when the band is like young right? that would explain why all the logos look like 19 year olds made them
DrProfessorMD: Please make a caricature of yourself saying exactly that in quotes and sell it to me on a tshirt.
@@SupaSavage24 Exactly.
It's kind of like when you got a shitty nickname when you first created an account online at 13 and now you're internet famous but you're stuck with it forever
I now need a Finn tier list of all the different iterations of the My Chemical Romance logo over the years.
Every deathcore band logo looks the fucking same.
Fight me.
As someone who's always enjoyed deathcore. Yes. I concur.
I'm thinking of death metal logos that you can't even read.
Nobody wants to fight you about something everyone agrees on.
As a deathcore enjoyer, you sir are absolutely correct 🧐
@@theangelbelow88 I wish I enjoyed deathcore more, it's more like dipping my toes in the water cos I like so much metalcore
I will never not laugh at the "here's the thing" cut.
Man I use to mess with a girl that had Slipknot lyrics with a small logo on her arm and I shyt you not she had a pet snake, pet Tarantulas, had major daddy issues and had the greatest….wettest….you know what ever! Super into anime and role playing too.
greatest, wettest..sensory deprivation chamber?..sauna?..greenhouse? Idk I'm bad at this stuff.
@@mitchelltyler5972 greatest…wettest…..snake food brotha! She took great care of snakes!
@@mitchelltyler5972 Greatest…wettest…snake food brotha! She took great care of snakes!

Greatest... wettest... snakes?! You never touched her snakes, did you. Snakes feel dry
Danzig's first three albums produced by Rick Rubin are really, really, good. I saw them live on the Dirty Black Summer tour and it was the best show I have ever gone to. They even played Samhain's version of Halloween II as an encore.
First 4 albums by Rick Rubin. All the ones with Johnny Christ are classic.
@@blacksunshine7485 Danzig 4 was good, but you could really tell the direction Glenn was wanting to go. I mean he basically went 90s nine inch nails after that one. The first 3 albums are classic bangers for sure!!!
10:45 I love this “mooooom get out of my roooooom” bits
Missing some important ones- greats like Ramones, Blue Oyster Cult, Motörhead, Black Flag, Man is the Bastard, Exploited, Crass
Here's the thing (HERE'S THE THING) about the DIO logo most people don't catch. Dio is Italian for God. With that in mind, when you flip the logo upside down you can see it spells DEVIL. So the DIO logo is God-Tier logo design, IMHO. Amazing logo.
I used to work at a record store with a guy who went to high school with the future members of Slipknot. Your assessment of how people in their hometown reacted to their band is spot-on.
Also, my dad briefly ran into Slipknot at the Grammy's* a long time ago and security was hassling the guy with the spiky mask to take his spikes out, so he did, and then immediately replaced them with black plastic cocktail straws!
*CONTEXT: My dad worked as a mixing engineer on a jazz album that got nominated for something. IIRC it didn't win, but it was a solid jazz album!
Finn’s speedrunning how fast he can trigger the horde.
I unironically love Sabaton lmao
Me too :)
Some of their stuff I can take or leave, but Carolus Rex is one of the best Power Metal albums ever.
This video is just one giant L take
"Megadeth is my favorite band"
*proceeds to shit on them and their music for the next 30 seconds*
What's even funnier about the bundle of sticks is that it's also the root word of "fascism." Yes, fascism and that other word come from the same root.
Sanguisuggabogg logo is menacing
When I was younger, I would read revolver magazine, and would see these ads for relapse records. Saw some advertised albums, like dying fetus and more. One was a band called The End, and their cover art was just an old house. For some reason, I assumed they would sound like some Thursday, or something. I assumed they were like post hardcore, the font was cursive and it seemed moody and possibly emo. Well one day I went cd shopping with my mom, and came across this album. The only one. So, with my assumptions made about what they might sound like, I bought it. Got in the car, popped it in the cd player.....and boy...was I wrong. Pure Chaos! Like 10 car wrecks covered in nails, Acid, and fire. Do yourself a favor, peep The End - Within Dividia. Changed my life as a listener and as a drummer haha

Jello Biafra is a fantastic vocalist. Wtf?
He’s the punk Willie Nelson- nasally voice and he knows how to work it to its maximum potential
@@chrisold97 😂
IKR, I was honestly shocked at this assessment.
Is he a good singer? Absolutely not. Is he a god tier vocalist for a punk band? Abso-fucking-loutley!
@@clayfoster8234 perfectly put
When I was in high school I thought Dave saying "hello me, it's me again." was so cool. As an adult in my 30s I now see how cringe it is.
I think it’s in good fun
I like the goofiness of it
Not a Megadeth hater, not really a fan either, I hate that song.
Oh man, that was what we said when we showed up uninvited to friends houses at 14 years old. To be fair, if It happened again, I'd hope they'd still use it for old times sake
Ngl, I still love that song. I loved Megadeth up until 1997 or so. Everything since is pretty forgettable.
Megadeth is a term for how many pepole that would die in a nucklear bomb explosion!
Yeah Dave got the idea from a newspaper (you probably already know that) but it didn’t seem like Finn was aware of
My first concert ever I still have the t-shirt from that concert, and they even have the definition of megadeth on it. At least I think I still have it.
@@Aquila79735 i did not know that i think i larend about it from vicoce 2, i don't know the members in almost all bands i lisen to!.
@@user-kd8ol2ro9t oh I don’t know the members of most of the bands I listen to either so
5:15 my genuine question is why does people liking Megadeth in the current year bewilder you so much just because they're so mid to you? Pretty much every band has an itch that scratches someone's ear and Megadeth is no exception. As long as they make themselves different in some way, which they do, people are going to continue listening to Megadeth.
Also, who said it wasn't possible that there's still someone out there now who thinks Megadeth is cool?
Because they're extremely dated and haven't changed their style since 1990. Their mid 90s albums sound even more dated than the 80s ones which is also odd
@@joshuaprietophoto okay, there continues to be more people young people nowadays that like extremely dated sound.
I’m starting to get nu metal withdrawals, Finn
just kidding, great to see a video about hardcore again on the main channel
Holy shit haha, what was that Sanguisugabogg video? Looked like Metalocalypse. And was that them firing on Trudeau?
Part of the reasoning behind the Dead Kennedys logo was so you can spray paint it fast on walls.
Hey Finn I like when you use your design background to add to your content.
The Dead Kennedys logo is just a picnic table on its side
I believe it was actually Joey that created that S logo
Makes sense, he was one of the weakest writers / creators in the band.
@@granth81 How so
@@granth81yeah the guy that was responsible and a major writer for S/T. IOWA, vol.3 and AHIG
The My Chemical Romance was FIRST scribbled on the back if a maths book and THEN became a band logo.
@FinnMckentyPRMBA Hey Finn I was hoping you could help explain "Screaming" "growling" and "yelling" style vocals that are hard to understand... what denotes Tallent. You criticized Jello and DK vocals...which I totally get...but can you explain how you can dig death metal vocals etc. Thhhhanks dood.
When I’m in an awful take competition and my opponent is Finn Mckenty:
I had never realized how fundamentally similar the Megadeth logo is to the Metallica logo. It's sad really
Oh I noticed right away.
It doesn't help the 1st letter is the same. And the H isn't that different from an A. Still, I think they could have found something that works. But I give them points off for the Vic Rattlehead on the album covers.
because they aren't?
It would make sence if you compared the Slipknot one with the Sepultura one
Keys to the Astral Gates and Mystix Doors is a must-see logo
Yep and almost any tanzelcore band
I just listened to the entire Sabaton discography over the last two days. Not a single bad song until their 10th album. Even their early demos are great.
what was the song?
Father (single)
@@matg9844 Exactly, I completely agree with you. I honestly don’t understand Finn criticism of Sabaton. I like how Sabaton talk about war from all around the world. The way Sabaton do it is meant to educate and it also brings different types of people together since they are able to relate to the songs.
that's some dork shit bruh
@@xezmakorewarriah power metal for history nerds, my dude.
Finn's taste feels so unhinged sometimes haha he shits on other kinds of extreme metal but then loves parody level slam bands haha no beef, my taste is probably just as bizarre, it doesn't take much for me to write of a band that sounds exactly like stuff I already like.
He’s always loved slam, he made his own slam a while back
He also likes some shitty scene-core bands
That Slipknot logo looks like everything Hot Topic
When I was in middle school in the early 2000s they held biweekly dances in this community center that had band logos painted huge all over the walls. Every time I see the logos for Boston, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, and a few other bands I think of this building and how cool it was
Finn saying that Somethingsudafed were a great band hurt worse than if I were to stick a toothpick under my toenail and kick a wall and it sucks even worse because everything else he said in the vid was spot on.
Why hath thou forsaken us, Papa Finn?
2:47 NO!, sabaton is GREAT, i love their music!!! and logo with the armor thing is also nice! and slipknot logo is okay imo it looks hinda playfull
It's amazing how Danzig found that Crystar comic! As a badly sold book, it was so high up the shelf.
Finn placing that slam band in great music tier while placing Sabaton in the shit tier reminds me of how chronically american he is.
Also, MCR's kogo is great. It looks like it belongs in the notebook of a high school goth kid. Which was exactly their demographic.
sanguisugabogg sounds like if mortician wrote songs
their theme si necrophilia so not far from truth, lol
Sabaton >>>>>> Sansui-whatever. Also how is their logo racist???
He's a lefty he probably believes all the dumb rumours sabaton were neo yazis. Also the fact they don't like anything patriotic
It's racist af
@@jessiepalermo7234 how is it racist?
@@jessiepalermo7234 why not actually explain instead of being a troll
Speaking of war metal, you’ve gotta do a video on that “genre”.
Blasphemy & their insane backstory, sarcofago/sepultura beef, Sadistik Exekution getting in an issue of penthouse, an entire scene popping up in India & Sri Lanka, etc.
Black Dahlia Murder has one of the best death metal logos IMO
the wonderful work of Jon Zig! I love the dudes artwork so much. From the very small clip of the new album artwork I saw, I think he may have done the album art for their upcoming one.
I used to work with a dude at market basket who had the slipknot S on his forearm. I assume he’s still there in the grocery department but now it’s 11 years later
a dude with a slipknot tattoo somehow correlated with market basket makes so much fucking sense. 😭😭
When I was in the military in Guam in 1988 I saw "NIN" in a magazine. Took a chance....scored !
As a certified Slipknot hater, the logo is abysmal
Design x metal is a super idea ! You said you're trying to find new approaches to subjects, and just "renew" yourself without losing your viewers, or too many : the design approach could be super cool.
Not too deep, but kind of like what @TanktheTech does with his roadie/tour manager entries on music ?
That'd be awesome, AND could interest new bands into getting a larger audiance :D
I remember several years ago some t-shirt designer in Oakland making bootleg Raiders shirts that used the Misfit/Crimson Ghost skull in place of the raider with the eye patch. In a twist of delicious irony they received a cease and desist from the Misfits. Too bad. It was a cool Raiders design.
Slipknot's tribal logo was heavily a product of its time. Sepultura and Soulfly were very popular when it was created.
I want to know what the results of the poll were?
Megadeth lover and Android user here!
Wait, what were the results of the poll?
Android, by far. There's a frame of it in the video for a second at 16:30
I first heard about Sabaton from a co-worker who was 18 at the time, they've been his favorite band for years. It really is music for easily impressionable gamer kids. Although I have to admit, when I was a kid in the early 90s I really liked Bolt Thrower because they had some badass cover art with bloody fighting scenes and other war imagery 😄
How did glen get the original drawings?
He wouldn't have been to crop out the the stuff over the images he used at the time right?
Maybe it was traced or something
GOOD CONTENT THOU! KEEP IT UP, I LOVED YOUR HUMAGOUS HUMOUR DUDE.
you should switch sabaton and the wierd logo from the band before
Sampler CDs! They gave you one song from a band to see if you would like them. Helped me pick albums back in the day.
I love how illegible Sanguinesugarboogers logo is. Awesome band too.
Yes I agree great band.
Lol. Wait. What? Sanguine sugar boogers?
It's recognizable, though.
Good luck putting that on your math book.
🦆
Finn as always great vid. Love watching. Your in my top three favorite TH-camrs of all time.
Finn looking RIPPED in that magic spoon ad 💪
1:24 They've got Magic Spoon at Grocery Outlet for $1.99 a box right now. I thought they had gone out of business
I’ve seen them little ass boxes selling in the grocery stores for 8.99
HELL TO THE NAWWW..
If writing punk is so easy, why aren’t there just endless albums as good as Dookie or Enema of the State out there? Cause it’s not easy. Finger painting is easy but making great art using finger painting isn’t.
Unironically some of the coolest shit I've ever heard, just watching your interview with Sanguisugabogg's vocalists 🤘
Here's the Canadian who has to say the alexisonfire heart skull is perfect
The piece of armor on the Sabaton logo is foot armor, which is called a Sabaton, that's where the name comes from
such a ridiculous comment.. 🤣
@@pedrofernandino1970 how is it ridiculous, thats literally what it is
I used to do the same thing, walked around looking at all the awesome album art. I felt the same about DK is the vocals i wanted so hard to love them 😂
I have a Slipknot tattoo and I don't have a pet ferrit/spider but I do have a sausage dog 😅
In your cereal video you mentioned Magic Spoon and you preferred the knock off
Brands lol
I had a hernia surgery a few years back and when I came to I was singing dirty black summer to the nurse lol poor woman.
What's your thoughts on MCR's cover of Astro Zombies?
Agreed on the Misfits.............incredible. EVERY FALL I re-live all that magic and it never gets old, I just play them loud and get that same feeling as the first few times I heard them. Really good shit.
I'm going to commit an act of blasphemy, so here goes... For the longest time, I preferred Michale Graves-era Misfits over Glenn Danzig-era Misfits. I didn't start listening to Rock/Metal/Punk until about 1993 (music choice was limited in East Germany prior to 1990). I hadn't heard of Misfits prior to 1995, so when I had the chance to pick up an album after I moved to the United States, my first was American Psycho. I didn't know Glenn Danzig (who I knew as the "Mother" guy) was in the band previously. Later, I bought one of the Greatest Hits compilations and heard the Danzig-era music, I considered it "less-polished and less musically-inclined" than Graves-Misfits.
I love the font for MCR isnt that far off from the Suicide Silence one 😂
How did they get away with stealing those logos? Especially Misfits, they've made more money off tshirts and merch with the fiend skull than their music I'd be willing to bet. Did the creators of Crimson Ghost or that comic ever sue? Anyone know? Interesting.
The slipknot S is cool, it's instantly recognizable, just like the Dead Kennedys, black flag and misfits logos. I think what you said about those logos being ready to draw in a pre internet age definitely helped spread their name around.
And to go on about buying CDs from back then... if you COULD listen to a CD in advance at the store, they might have... maybe four bolted down Discman players, if you were lucky, but the odds of actually being interested in the discs chosen by staff to show off at the listening stations was rather poor.
Made it to you saying Jellos voice isn't good and checked out.
I saw Uncooked by FYS in your recommended, please do something covering some Four Year Strong history!
Danzig’s vibe is definitely not for everybody, but the first three records are really good. Not sure if that’s true or not if you listen to them for the first time now
Love Sanguisugabogg. Blood Incantation also has one of my favorite in the modern DM scene though. Seems like a lot of those bands lean into the death metal tropes and are making it self aware and fun
Back in the day I found “Delinquent Habits” in the metal section of the record store, bought it solely off the name and different cover art, Great decision!🏴☠️👊
Steel Commanders is actually a great song to me. Sabaton is a fun live band and you can actually learn something from their songs. Shit tier my ass 😂😂
A man of culture
Man, the Slipknot logo was sick in 1999 in the same way a silk dragon shirt was cool in 1999.
do yougl guys really think slipknot has a bad logo? i think it's so iconic
Oh shit i spent so much of my life replacing Slipknots S with the Cool S, i forgot thats not actually their logo....
So do they use android or iPhone?
When I found out about the band Circle of Dead Children, I literally had never heard of them or seen any of their stuff and decided to buy it solely based on the name. I wasn't disappointed
Human Harvest is a classic
I designed a font when I was 15 years old and have seen dozens of bands using that for their logo or titles and now I regret that, because all those logos look horrible
They put an ad right at 'heres the thing' 😢
As a screen printer that prints for a shit ton of bands my logo design brain works much like Finn’s. Freeware fonts are so corny and lazy… Attn: Band’s pay someone to hand draw your band’s name and logo, it’ll be worth it!
Twist of Cain, Am I Demon, SheRides? Danzig/Samhain had a few bangers.
I bought AFI December Underground based on just the album art and it heavily influenced my guitar playing
