Wu-Tang logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- There’s also a pronounced circle theme, which could represent a CD disc.
- Meaning and history The logo of the hip hop group was drawn by Ronald Bean, a.k.a.
- Mathematics, who has been with Wu-Tang Clan before the group was actually created.
- As Mathematics told in an interview, he had a talk with RZA (Robert Fitzgerald Diggs, the band’s de facto leader) about making stickers for promotion.
- Also, he had an idea to depict a head being taken off, with the blood dripping.
- Symbol In response to this “brief,” Mathematics drew an image, where a hand was coming out of a large “W.” The hand was holding the head of a man with dreads.
- When RZA saw the emblem, though, he felt it was a bit too much – the situation that both RZA and Mathematics described in two independent interviews.
- According to RZA, he said: “maybe not the head cut off,” while Mathematics said it looked “too gory.” The following step took place when they were getting ready to print “Protect Ya Neck.” RZA called Mathematics claiming he needed a logo the following day.
- So, the designer just drew it that evening based on one of the letterings he had created for his graffiti earlier.
- Now, depending from the character, the “W” may turn into an “M” (if it’s featured as the Method Man logo), a combination of “M” and “K” (to refer to Master Killa), “INS” and “E” (Inspectah Deck) or even a “U” (U-God).
- About the author of the logo Mathematics began working with GZA (one of the group’s founding members) when he was trying to launch a solo career in 1991.
- Mathematics started as a graphic artist and he liked making graffiti.
- Later, he became a hip hop producer and DJ.
- Colors The simple black-and-white palette of the Wu-Tang logo can be easily adjusted to the color of any background.
