Iconic band images

Started by Mind Flayer Monk, April 07, 2013, 06:48:17 AM

Hi all,
I was trying to come up with a list of iconic band images.
For example:
Rolling Stones - the lips logo
Iron Maiden - that Eddie statue at all the concerts
Led Zeppelin - the swan song logo/Icarus or the Zeppelin

Can people help me fill out this list please?

RedMichael

Gun's And Roses - Pistols, Roses and usually a skull
Grateful Dead - Bear
Queen - Queen Crest (A Night at the Opera/A Day at the Races covers)
Metallica - Name Logo , Hooked M and A
Aerosmith - Letter A with wings
U2 - Name itself is logo
Beatles - Apple/Name Font


Oh here

Floyd has the image of the prism against a dark background.  And the flying inflatable pig.

With the Beatles, there are probably too many to mention.

          Cool,  I have that logo tatooed on my lower groin. Without a reason why.

Here is a favorite of mine.

Onan, YES! Was about to post that one.
And Van Halen's powerful VH logo.

And I considered "London Calling".

As a body of work, Blue Oyster Cult had some pretty inspired album covers

Eddie Coyle


        The most eerily prescient. Album released 10/17/77. Plane crash...10/20/1977

       Yeah, they were quite effective. My personal favorite is the live album from '75 "On Your Feet Or On Your Knees"

Eddie mentioned the Union Jack. I'll add the definitive Who logo.

Are we on the right track here?

That's actually a necessary question because it's obvious we've been uncertain about the thrust of the thread. Is it images of iconic bands? Or is it iconic images of rock bands? Two different things in some cases. Iconic bands is BeatlesStonesWhoLedZep, etc.

Iconic images would be the Rolling Stones' Tongue and Lip logo, Beatles Sgt. Pepper look, David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust, Jimi Hendrix kneeling before his burning Stratocaster, Annie Leibovitz's shots of a shirtless Jim Morrison's messianic pose, a Pete Townsend windmill chord, or PT busting up a Gibson, Robert Plant Golden God shot, sweat-drenched Jimmy Page playing while wearing the white "Poppy" stage outfit, Bruce Springsteen "Born In The USA" shot.

Different effect entirely.

The OP seems to have lost interest.  It was a fun show and tell
