50. Daft Punk - Designed by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, the Daft Punk punk-patch logo found its way onto all three of their record sleeves with the help of some crafting and re-designing. Speaking in an interview about the symbol, one half of the duo explained its importance; "To us, the Daft Punk logo should be the star -the concept is to keep us more low-profile than the music itself."

  ~ by Ragman 9/10/2008
no glassjaw?
~ by ! 8/6/2008
Good list, but some of the logos were kind of a stretch for their positions. Metallica should have at least been in the to 10 if not the top 5!!!!!!!!!!!!
~ by Barney 8/6/2008
- fuck matallica. The Allman Brothers Band and Govt Mule. should have been on the list.
  ~ by Bob 8/20/2008
A great list, but you are missing Rammstein.
~ by Emmuzka 8/6/2008
A few a missing, but can\'t fault the list. You shoulda done a top 100 :-)
~ by Bazzle 8/6/2008
Where’s the Beastie Boys logo? Durr!
~ by Andy 8/6/2008
How did HIM make this list?
~ by that kid 8/6/2008
- Heartagram is definitely at the top of the list. HIM is hotter than Jagger and cooler than any other band. HIM is the ULTIMATE BAND
  ~ by Til 8/11/2008
- dude, it's got bugger all to do with whether they are the ultimate band (pfft! As if!), it's about the logo. But I certainly do think it was worth including in the list.
  ~ by rainbowdio 1/6/2009
What about the Red Hot Chili Peppers logo! Or Nirvana, now there’s a logo everyone recognises!
~ by AndyMaq 8/6/2008
DRI - classic
~ by n/a 8/6/2008
nirvana
~ by punk 8/7/2008
No Chili Peppers? They certainly have one of the more iconic logos of the last 20 years and I’m not even a real fan of the band!
~ by Greg the Bunny 8/7/2008
ELO, Black Crows, Journey???????
~ by davey 8/7/2008
u missed killswitch engage
~ by simona 8/7/2008
Where is Blue Oyster Cult logo?
~ by Anonymous 8/7/2008
Here are some I would have put above at least a half dozen that made the list: Smashing Pumpkins (heart logo), Red Hot Chili Peppers, A Tribe Called Quest (stickmen logo), The Pharcyde (hydrant peeing on dog), OutKast and Alien Ant Farm
~ by ACLUeless Organization 8/7/2008

Shocked; No Stranglers or Sisters of Mercy!
~ by oocares 8/10/2008
i think radiohead\'s rank is bullshit, not special logo, Led Zeppelin\'s logo better than Radiohead\'s logo. Sorry, this rank totally lame...
~ by ch 8/10/2008
What about the Beatles?
~ by Pete 8/10/2008
where is nirvana\'s logo?
~ by melomano 8/11/2008
- You wouldn't be talking about 'that' smiley logo would you? In which case, I don't think it would've been good on here.
  ~ by rainbowdio 1/6/2009
No Scorpions?
~ by !!! 8/11/2008

~ by Gary 8/13/2008

~ by dsdfdf 8/13/2008

- If only Jamiroquai s music had the quality to match - Surely you are joking guys...
~ by Damien 8/15/2008
what about oasis? and the GNR logo should be more in the top
~ by musicfan 8/16/2008
Um...Queen? [2]
~ by Nope 8/16/2008

~ by mike 8/16/2008
Hey man!! Where’s Def Leppard? They have an unique logo!
~ by Rafael Cordeiro 8/18/2008
good list, but i think you could have put in some recent bands logos, like punk bands from 2000 on. still my favourite is definitely The Rolling Stones ^^
~ by Beep! 8/18/2008
No Allman Brothers Band mushroom logo???? There is NO justice!!
~ by BDOB 8/18/2008

~ by Icculus 8/20/2008
Pink floyd’s DARK SIDE OF THE MOON not on the list at all!!! The list means nothing to me now!!!
~ by Bretty2steps 8/20/2008
Offspring’s logo should be in the top 10. Definitely one of the most bad ass logos ever.
~ by Obang 8/26/2008
Iron Maiden never used V-shaped guitars!!!
~ by Yo 8/29/2008
Where’s the pink floyd prism? That’’s arguably more famous then the rolling stones tongue and lips
~ by gC 9/5/2008
How this guy dare saying such boulshit coment about Jamiroquai music! of course the music match with the logo. If you don’t understand Jamiroquai’’ s talent, go to see a live gig and you’’ll understand you idiot!!! Bye the way, the logo is so good tat poeple getting it tatoo!
~ by maeva 9/6/2008
where the fuck is nirvana???
~ by blindfatkid 9/7/2008
Good call on your choice for # 1. Great Britain’s Victoria and Albert museum have just put the original artwork on permanent display....purchased for a mere $100,000. Stones Forever!
~ by jadedfaded 9/7/2008
Dave Matthews Band dancing girl, Blues Traveler’s smoking cat, and Oasis are obvious omissions here

Definetly needs Metallica in the Top 10 or 5.

BOOGNISH???? jerks
~ by J 12/14/2008
you don't seem to realize that on guns logo there's a skull formed by the guns and roses. Not just a capricious symetry. Because of that, i personally think it deserves a better rank on the list. peace!
~ by fertascani@hotmail.com 12/19/2008
What? No Allman Brothers Sex Mushroom logo? Lame.
~ by Em 12/21/2008

~ by pizzabagels 12/31/2008
Hmm....That one was so definitely not their best album cover logo ever...it's nowhere near anything like the artwork on some of their older stuff.
~ by rainbowdio 1/6/2009

The Pink Floyd Prism is the logo for the album dark side of the moon not the band. Most notably missed is the greatest band logo ever: Queensryche!!!
~ by Adrian 2/13/2009
Yeah, top 100 needed. No MUSE logo? oasis? deftones...white horse logo? beatles?
~ by psb 2/25/2009
RHCP????????????
~ by Mike 3/13/2009
Favorite Who logo. Glad to see it's up there! However, sad to see no Def Leppard. Oh well. Great list!!
~ by Def Leppardess 4/17/2009

The Allman Brothers Band - http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&ei=1IZTSoaYItD6tgeHpNCbCA&resnum=0&q=allman+brothers+band+logo&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=14ZTSurMPKO_twewsLCjCA&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4

~ by SAMO 7/10/2009
where's Nirvana?
~ by kiksi 9/12/2009
No Dethklok, DevilDriver, Pink Floyd prism, Slayer, Megadeth, Rammstein,etc? Heavy Metal and other forms of metal all have great logos, I know Floyd isnt metal by the way.
~ by CK 10/2/2009
Nice to see QOTSA in there.
~ by Sam 10/6/2009
Typically, a logo's design is for immediate recognition, inspiring trust, admiration, loyalty and an implied superiority. The logo is one aspect of a band's commercial brand or economic entity. It's shapes, colors, fonts, and images usually are different from others in a similar market. Great Logos
~ by CompanyLogos.ws 10/10/2009
anal cunts rock
~ by dude 10/13/2009
Red hot chili peppers asterisk? hello its been there logo for like 20+ years and they are arguable one of the most influential bands of all time. wow.....wow. list of 50. wow
