2. Logos & Fonts
• Logo is a graphic mark or design which represents a
firm, band, etc.
• A font is a specific typeface of a certain size and style.
• Logo and fonts of a band depends on the genre of
course, as all of the logos and the fonts cannot be used
in every type of music. Rock bands uses a Gothic or
simple type of font and logo, pop bands use fancy type
of font and logo. It all depends on the music a band
produces. I will use Gothic fonts and simple logos for
my project.

3. Examples of Logos and Fonts
The distinct shape of alphabets (especially that of “O”) in the
Maiden logo superbly depicts the heavy metal imagery the band
is closely associated with. The Iron Maiden logo has probably sold
bigger amounts of T-shirt and merchandise sales than most of the
other metal bands. The font used is Metal Lord and indeed gives
the Iron Maiden logo a slick metallic touch and finish. The grey
and red colors in the font signify passion, strength and
refinement.
The distinctive features of the maiden logo indeed classify it
among the best rock band logos of all time.
Creed have used a font named as Mason,
which represents the band perfectly.
Creed literally means Faith and with
respect to the meaning of the band’s
name, they have used a modern simple
type of font.
