I’m a big metal-head, and coupled with that is a huge interest in bands that make a conscious effort to create and maintain a visual identity with their logos and wordmarks. Here are a bunch of my favorite metal logos, both new and old.

One of my favorites is #6, a logo used by Swedish death metal band At the Gates. While being fairly illegible, I love the composition and those textured cathedral windows are really really tough. You can see a larger version here.
