DC logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Download PNG AC/DC Logo PNG Founded in 1973 in Australia, the AC/DC classic hard rock band has made a bang in the history of rock-and-roll music, both in terms of sound and record sales.
- Meaning and history The AC/DC visual identity history includes three major redesigns and four logo versions created for the legendary band.
- The iconic symbol, separating two parts of the band’s name was adopted in 1974, inspired by the debut album “High Voltage”, and since then it was present on all emblem except for one, used by AC/DC in 1976.
- The symbols were placed pretty close to each other, but due to the wide stencils, the whole image looked balanced and fresh.
- 1976 The redesign of 1976 changed the color palette of the logo into black and yellow, and the typeface of the inscription to a smooth serif one.
- The “AC” part was inclined to the right, while the “DC” — to the left.
- The white lighting bolt between two parts had a double black and yellow outline, which balanced the outline of the arched letters.
- It was a bright pink and black logotype executed in a handwritten sans-serif typeface with its smooth rounded letters in a thick black outline slightly italicized, evoking a sense of motion and energy.
- 1977 — Today The iconic AC/DC logo we all can see today was designed in 1977 and is still in use by the band.
- The stylish geometric sans-serif typeface with angular letters and rhombuses at the ends of the letter “A” had a slightly enlarged black lighting bolt separating the two parts of the wordmark.
- Huerta insightfully brought the lettering to complement the biblical mood, which pervaded the “Let There Be Rock” album and, particularly, the title.
- The logo has been around for nearly 40 years and has firmly integrated into the band’s image and concept.
- The blunt combination of black and white creates an electrifying chemistry of ardor, energy, courage, and perfection.
- This is actually what the band’s name stands for: “alternate current/direct current.” Video
