i want someone to help come up with a deathmetal style logo for my band. the more unreadable the better.

thanks in advance..


Lumpy

I can try something, but I encourage you to go with something still readable (otherwise, not sure what the point is).

well, i mean you have to make it mostly unreadable..you need to be familiar with deathmetal writing to have a shot at figuring it out..

Ranbat

Yeah, yeah. It makes it like an encrypted Death Metal message. You gotta be Tr00 and stuffs  ;D
Meh :/

Maybe you didn't see the logo I proposed for Franks & Beans when I thought he was looking for a new band name (I suggested "The Fruiting").

He was looking for a personal stage name though.  :-\

Some okay fonts here... download and you can use whenever:
http://modblackmoon.narod.ru/fonts.html

http://www.fontriver.com/font/death_metal/

These fonts might be better:
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/doubletwo/xxii-blackmetal-warrior/

http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/doubletwo/xxii-gory-bastard/

http://www.dafont.com/xxii-ultimate-black-metal.font?text=FOOT+AND+MOUTH+DISEASE&psize=l

I think these are all free for non-commercial use, some may be free for commercial use. Your obscure band counts as non-commercial use IMO. Read the info that comes with the font for more details. You're not going to get sued though.

Then just fuck around with different layouts -- this makes sense to me:

FOOT AND
MOUTH
DISEASE

Maybe add some dingbats (doohickeys, symbols etc) to add additional flair.

If this is too complicated, let me know. Or maybe one of these other dudes will do a custom logo for you.

here's the first of 2 designs i worked up, first in black and white and the second with a quick color job

the second design is significantly more chaotic and unreadable

No problem, I can send you high Res versions of both,  I can also do colored versions in colors you dudes want. Feel free to use them as you wish.  Also if anyone else wants logos or posters or whatever I'm really trying to build my portfolio so please inquire and I'll see what I can do.

Also thanks for the comments everyone. I've been working hard to hone my skills.

Yo James that's awesome, I'm down.
I'm writing crusty hardcore punk for a new band, we're called Grime Status.
You can use your imagination and do whatever.
Thanks
