Once you have collected enough information about the band, you can then start researching the relevant visuals. What sub genre do they fit in? (technical death metal/progressive death metal/old school death metal) What are the lyrics about? (politics/urban life/religion) What type of audience are they trying to attract? (mainstream/underground).
This will be a symmetrical, hand rendered, vector logo.įirst of all, it is important to know a lot about the band the logo is for. Now that I am focusing on different area’s of work I have decided to write a tutorial to explain in detail how I went about creating the most popular of all my logos the death metal logo. The demand for these logos were more popular than I expected and I managed to get quite a lot of work from it alongside my studies. Being an extreme metal fan and a logo designer, it was only natural for me to start creating logos for the metal scene.
I have been creating extreme metal logos for over 4 years now for many bands all over the world.
