Black Sabbath Logo
- It has numerous prestigious music awards, and is ranked as the Greatest Metal Band by MTV.
- Among seven emblems, designed for the band, only two are not based on a black and white color palette, though the one, designed in 1975, looks even more diabolic than others.
- 1969 — 1970 The very first logo for the band was created in 1969 and featured a bold “curly” lettering in white placed on a black background.
- The thick massive letters of the inscription have thin red details on them, making the color palette darker and the smooth rounded lines of some symbols — stronger.
- The smooth and massive wordmark looked strong and powerful, reflecting the style of the band’s music and its character.
- 1972 — 1973 In 1972 the logo is being redrawn again, and now the white logotype in two levels is set in a black background, resembling the very first band’s emblem.
- 1975 — 1976 The version of the emblem, created for Black Sabbath in 1975 boasted a solid black background where the bold red lettering in sans-serif was placed, with the “S” replaced by the stylized as a lightning bolt symbol in white.
- It was minimalist yet edgy and added a sense of passion to the band’s visual identity.
- All capitals of the wordmark were set in two levels, making the logo balanced and solid.
- 1992 — 1994 The redesign of 1992 brought a new look to the band’s visual identity, writing its name in one line with the help of a smooth custom typeface, where rounded and sleek letters had their lines elongated and sharpened.
- Three letters, “B”, “S” and “H” were enlarged to make the lettering look arched.
- 2013 — 2017 The logo, introduced by Black Sabbath in 2013, is completely different from all other versions, as executed in thin and clean lines of a white sans-serif typeface.
- Henry was created in 1975 and became an official symbol of the band.
- It is a very powerful addition to the Black Sabbath visual identity, which is instantly recognizable around the world and reflects all the band’s characteristics and values, as well as celebrates the music genre, the band performs.
