We have another one of the classics, U2 is a band that debuted their first album Boy on October 20, 1980. Their net worth is 1.8 billion dollars from hits like Sunday Bloody Sunday, Where Streets Have No Name, and Beautiful Day.
U2 has also won around 22 Grammy Awards and sold around 110 million copies of their album worldwide. But aside from that, they’re known for their philanthropic efforts as well.
The band announced recently that they would donate €2 million from the ‘iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE’ concert to Ireland’s national music program. Let’s get into their logo.
It’s a simple lettermark logo design of U2 in sans serif font. It’s a japan telegram logo with little to no embellishments which says something about how strong their branding has been.
The Rolling Stones
The older bands truly dominate this list since they’ve been in the business longer. Our third band on the list is The Rolling Stones. Their net worth as a brand is around 1.45 billion dollars.
Their famous icon design is the lips with a tongue sticking out. It does have some sexual connotations for an emblem logo design. But, hear us out.
It’s a homage to the Hindu goddess of death, Kali. Aside from her, Mick Jagger himself inspired the logo physically.
Logo designer, John Pasche, had an interview with The Guardian and said, “I wanted something anti-authority, but I suppose the mouth idea came from when I met Jagger for the first time at the Stones.”
Pasche instantly noticed Mick’s lips. So the tongue and lips logo came to life. In 2018, the iconic logo was dubbed the most “classic” t-shirt design in the UK through a poll.
Also, just an added fun fact, the magazine is indeed associated with the band since it was an avenue for them to express themselves and explain their songs. But today, it encompasses topics coming from the music industry.
