three years pass...

Band logos are very much a "guy" thing aren't they? There's only two bands in that list (Cramps, ABBA) that aren't all male as far as I can tell. It's hard to think of many co-ed or all-female bands that have a logo. Then judging by the people you see around wearing t-shirts, patches or whatever, it's men that relate to logos for whatever reason. Maybe the music or genres that throw up bands with logos, like punk, metal, techno etc are just more boys clubs than the rest? Or maybe men are just inherently more into this kind of self-branding?

L7 effectively have a logo for a name

post feels broadly otm though, band-shirt-as-personality-substitute generally a male practice I'd've thought, likewise the robust shitheaded territorial pissing re: who is and isn't entitled to wear Motorhead logos or whatever

sorry for the image bomb. Just thought about the women musicians I listen to most often and their logos. Are there any bands you were thinking about in particular that you were thinking of, everything?

Screaming Females does not appear to have a logo. Nor Sleater-Kinney.

seems like the original paste feature that this article linked to is gone. Here is another feature by them about logos. St. Vincent's is pretty dope. Most of the rest look like they could be logos for big oil or something.
