Metal has some of the BEST band logos and album cover art I have ever seen. In fact I've really never seen any other form of music reach the artistic level that metal bands have...as far as album covers or band logos go. Lately it has been a "trend" to change a once beautiful logo into normal fonts we see every day...hopefully this will not last long... What are some of your favourite album covers or band logos? Some album covers I think are impressive: Skyclad/Prince Of The Poverty Line Blind Guardian/Nightfall In Middle Earth In Flames/Jester Race Fates Warning/Awaken The Guardian IRON MAIDEN!!!! All of them! Impious/Evilized Desultory/Bitterness Some band logos: Skyclad Iron Maiden Morbid Angel Hades Sanctuary Forbidden Atheist Jag Panzer Heathen

The Anthrax logo is damn cool.. I used to like Metallica's also.. They get older and think we don't like cool stuff anymore. Idiots (Metallica). Band covers, I don't know. It is true, though.. Metal has the nicest covers. Most other bands just have a picture of the group or something. Metal bands usually have some kind of interesting artwork. I've always like Death's covers - mostly the later albums...
