Iron Maiden Logo
Iron Maiden has a very idiosyncratic logo. It is a text that captures the name of the band, written in solid bricked font. This shows the authenticity and ground breaking characteristic of the band. The font type does not have rounded edges that mean the logo lacks the smoothness and lightness. The squared edges show that the band stands firmly among the musical industry of the world and is strong in its disposition and style of heavy metal music. Red color has been used to fill the text letters with a black background. The text is bordered in white. The emblem became so popular that the garment manufacturers used it to style their T shirts and caps etc. This practice brought a huge sale to their shirts because of Iron Maiden logo. No doubt, the insignia is very well known around the world, not only among the music lovers but among all kinds of people irrespective of their age. It is well designed and very well thought out.
