The Beatles one was never used anywhere until long after they split iirc, aside from on the drumskin. not that that makes any difference but it wasn't ever on an actual record until a crappy hits comp in 1980.
the geezer who made this shoulda done a logo for the actual band too cause that woulda been ace

Yeah, this is shitty. A mix of fonts and logos, without considering the different implications of design, absolutely no commentary (not even to tell you who the band is), a fair few completely boring ones, and some that weren't even used as logos. Well done, Paste, well done.
(Nick, I'd say that the Nirvana face was drawn on enough school-books and printed on t-shirts to be recognisably associated, but I don't think it was ever on any records...)

Flipping through their "list of the day" posts, this is exceptionally pathetic. the rest at least have inane, little "hey this is a movie about dogs that belongs on our 7 Movies About Dogs list" captions.

being displayed on the front of the kick drum is HOW a lot of bang logos became famous ffs, you're saying the logo in the middle of the screen during the ed sullivan performances isn't famous/canonical enough to count?
i don't really understand everyone's beef here, obviously the list is half-assed and could've been done much better, but quibbling that many band logos are just the band's name in a distinctive font is pretty stupid

It's amazing how many of those so-called logos came from much later in the band's career I mean, take the winged Pixies P - that was for the last album! Or the Pink Floyd one listed here - that was from "The Wall." Just a silly charticle.

Are 'logos' and 'insignias' interchangeable? B/c a lot of my favorites are really insignias w/o any text. Blue Oyster Cult for example. They don't have a 'logo' I really care for but their insignia is probably my favorite ever.

logo and insignia are roughly interchangeable terms when it comes to this sort of thing. neither has to have text to count. BOC symbol is a classic band logo/insignia.
― 10. “Pour Some Sugar On Me” – Tom Cruise (contenderizer), Friday, 11 May 2012 17:53 (1 year ago) Permalink
iirc, the difference between font and typface, refers to the difference between the concrete thing you print with (the font) and the design embodied in it (the typeface)
