Last year we brought you a countdown of the greatest band logos, now it's time to unveil the 20 Worst Band Logos Of All Time. From recognisable acts like Dire Straits, Spacemen 3 and Limp Bizkit through to obscure Deathcore bands, there's a plethora of aesthetically challenged band artwork to be found...

  • I feel very sorry for the compiler of this chart as they are obviously both blind and deaf and they can't spell either as clearly they meant Hot Leg wonderful in every way. And by the way it's Man Rock. Just check out the reviews of Red Light Fever on Amazon or in Classic Rock Magazine for more objective reviews or better still listen for yourself and make your own mind up.

  • This is actually pretty badly written. Many logos are deserving of criticism, including some of the ones here - but they don't need a paragraph of pretty useless assessment. Honestly, it reads like it's been written by Richard Bacon, or the scriptwriter for one of those risible "50 Best..." TV lists, or a teenager on work experience (ie: something no-one else could be arsed compiling). Apart from that, it's fantastic. Almost as fantastic as the Gigwise logo...

  • Some of the logos are, indeed, terrible. Others are perfectly acceptable and there's nothing particularly wrong with those (Dire Straits, Staind for example).

    • I agree. I don't see anything wrong with the Dire Straits one either.

      ~ by Hanna 9/8/2009

  • I think the Dire Straights logo is actually pretty cool. This dude doesn't know what he's talking about.

  • The worst creative thought ranks above the best criticism of someone else's work. This comes nowhere near being the best in the genre of criticism. Try again--you might actually stumble across an original thought yourself.

  • A team which is setting up a website flashing, banging and blinking from every corner, yelling "buy, free, buy" - this team has no right to judge about anything concerning artwork.

  • the Tokio Hotel logo sucks, just like every other logo featured on this list. Wanna make a bet someone linked this on a crappy Tokio Hotel forum, that's why they've got such a huge response? 'cause anyone who listens to that disposable crap is clearly unable to comment on art in other fields.

  • Why is the Tokio Hotel logo on here? Obviously whoever wrote this is jealous of both the logo and Bill's hair, which isn't even the same anymore.

  • Tokio Hotel's logo looks pretty horrible in red. But you got the logo wrong. It's supposed to be white and not red. The logo is totally fine in white. Not bad at all.

  • i'm an experienced graphic designer and in my professional opinion all these logos are terrible. in fact that dire straits logo is absolutely hideous and i wouldn't hire a graphic designer who had a design like that in their portfolio. they are all bad logos, you just have to admit that you love some really tacky looking things.
