So, you\u2019re almost ready to put out your first EP, you\u2019re getting better gigs than just local dive bars, and now you\u2019re focused on your band\u2019s merchandise.<\/p>\n

Before you do anything else, you need to come up with a logo for your band!<\/p>\n

Learning how to make a band logo is a fun part of the creative process, but it can also be an important part of your marketing process. While everyone loves penning songs and passing around the tip bucket at shows, musicians have to eat, too!<\/p>\n

Your logo can help your fans to recognize your band, looks great on your social media accounts, and helps to get your name out.<\/p>\n

You can even include it on your instruments, like your guitar or custom bass drum head<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the process isn\u2019t as easy as you might think. Keep reading to learn how to make a band logo that\u2019s as recognizable as Weezer\u2019s Flying W<\/a>\u00a0or Metallica\u2019s lightning bolt letters.<\/p>\n

1. Consider The Genre<\/h2>\n

One of the reasons why band logos like Metallica\u2019s are so successful is that they fit perfectly within the genre of music the band plays.<\/p>\n

Heavy metal and lightening bolts? Sounds about right. The Beatles, a British band, taking over Abbey Road in London? Perfect.\u00a0Punk rockers The Misfit\u2019s skeleton? Makes sense.<\/p>\n

No matter what kind of music you play, your logo should reflect it.<\/p>\n

2. Consider Your Fans<\/h2>\n

Of course, a band lives and dies by its fan base. Sometimes, your fans know your band just as well as you do. Plus, they\u2019re equally as creative.<\/p>\n

Why not crowdsource your fans and ask for their input? You could even (giving proper artistic credit to the winner, or course) have a logo design contest!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great way to make sure you have lots of options, as well as an awesome chance to connect with your fans.<\/p>\n

3. Consider Your\u00a0Lyrics<\/h2>\n

Especially in bands that have multiple members, finding people that share the same creative vibe is tough (after all, look at how many band breakups there have been!)<\/p>\n

But once you find the right mix, it\u2019s easier to figure out what your band is really all about. Look at your lyrics to find your overall message. Is there a particular line that stands out to you and your fans? A major hit you want to celebrate?<\/p>\n

It worked for Omaha-based musician Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes, who sung about a \u201cyellow bird\u201d in his song \u201cPoison Oak.\u201d<\/p>\n

He created a logo and album art including the yellow bird. The yellow bird soon became one of his most recognizable logos, generating lots of merch and even fan tattoos<\/a>.<\/p>\n
