  • Download PNG Bathory Logo PNG Bathory was an extreme metal band from Vällingby, Sweden.
  • It remained unchanged from the year when the band was founded, in 1983, until the death of its frontman Tomas Forsberg in 2004.
  • Tomas Forsberg started his band when he was a seventeen-year-old guitarist.
  • It has been known as the pioneers of black metal and Viking metal.
  • Main logo Starting from their very first album, the band has used a wordmark in an extremely popular typeface called Old English.
  • Yet, in fact, it is a modern font designed by William Caslon and published by Monotype.
  • It has been known as a revival of William Caslon’s typeface Caslon Black.
  • Such a type helps to conjure up the images of the people of the past and the environment in which they lived.
  • This echoes the fact that the band worked in Viking metal and of course, creates a link with the historic name.
  • On the downside, this type is a totally a commonplace and generic choice for everyone who wants to make a “historic” logo.
  • So, while the band has been often named a pioneer in music, it is far from this in design.
  • Here, the inspiration for the typeface came from the Viking era.
  • The glyphs seem to have been inspired by the runes, which the Vikings used to record important events.
  • The sharp and minimalist angles of the alternative wordmark seemed to do the job better.
