Best Band Logos

by paulo | Feb 21, 2008

There are some great bands out there... from rock to hip-hop, from ska to punk rock. Not all of them have cool logos, but some are memorable.

"Whether it's gracing overpriced T-shirts or iconic drumheads, being furtively carved into classroom desktops or intricately inked on the bodies of the most dedicated fans, a band's logo can be just as memorable as its biggest single."

25. Ramones

24. Nine Inch Nails

23. Public Enemy

22. Korn

21. Aerosmith
