Can anybody design me a band logo? come on it would make a great christmas present

Sign in to disble this ad
yah i know there are some VERY talented people here on Talkbass when it comes to this stuff. So yah i need a band logo for our band, i'm getting a friend to sketch us something but i'd like as many designs i can get.

Our band name is PROTOCOL, we just need it to look cool (btw we play old school thrash metal, if thats important)

What i thought would be a cool idea would be for the O's to be Nuclear symbols kinda like this




Thanks a lot and merry christmas!

Are you guys radioactive?

Just write Protocol in the more metal font you can find and have done with it.

I love the second one! THANKS! but lemme ask anyway you can make the signs smaller so it looks more proportionate?



keep em coming haha, you don;t need to use the radioactive sign its just an idea.



Also the guitarist had an idea of having a noose hanging off the capital T in the middle, not easy to phoitoshop but maybe if someones a good artist they can draw and scan

This lettering style and symbols written out like sample number 2 in the post above would look good.

give me a couple guidelines and ill see what i can throw together. its normally hit or miss.

knowing the genre helped. because thrash metal covers were all about overly cheesy zombies and decaying flesh. theres one guy who designed all the famous ones.

That's going to be the challenge, so take your time :wink::

The music is a mashup of American Alternative and French nouvelle scene...or more accurately, nouvelle scene played American alt-style. Unusual, brainy, sophisticated, arty, scary...Serge Gainsbourg meets Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.

Band name, L'Age du Anomie.

sorry, your post got buried. i honestly dont understand half the words you used to describe your band. and i dont speak enough french to know what the hell is going on.

thrash metal is pretty simple. grindcore is obvious. french stuff.. im lost.

i mean.. do you want a dog? lightning bolts? throw me something haha

That's perfect because my band's name is Diligent Beaver. What kind of a logo would you do for that?
