Continuing the font catch, identify, and release program we’re taking a step away from popular website logos and venturing into the world of band logos.
Take a look at the fonts behind the bands you like to jam to. Who knows, this sort of knowledge might even enhance your next rock out session.

And That Concludes This Jam Session
Throughout the identification process I noticed that a fair share of logos were originally sketched specifically for the band, making many of the above font links fan-made versions based on the band’s logos. There are a few designers that take special interest in coming up with entire font collections from one word logos, I would check out Ray Larabie if that sort of thing interests you.As always comments, thoughts, and corrections are welcome below.
