Black metal logos

Just draw some random spikes and shit on paper then scan and bring it into illustrator. I actually really like this aesthetic despite 100% of these logos being objectively bad

I'd love it if it was that easy

there's not trick but practice, draw the same thing over and over (look for references if you don't know where to put the details) once you're happy with it scan it and follow this tut:

wow, thanks for the tutorials!
should I draw it on graph paper for the symmetry or is it not that important?

That's... actually not that bad, with a little bit of refinement, it could work.

I still feel like it's not organic enough, like it's too clean
idk

glad you liked the tuts, and that's actually a pretty great result, once you have the vectors you could add a "grunge texture" to the design on photoshop (either with brushes or with images) pic is a few mins on photoshop with your image, also i don't think green works that well on the star circle.
i recommend this pack with premade grunge textures just be subtle.

The obligatory.

yeah the green is kind of a placeholder cause idk how to make the star white a thin black outline, can you help me out?
I don't think I'll use the "grunge texture" on this since I've never seen a black metal logo with this effect, but thank you for teaching me that, I'll use it in other projects!

1. download "metal font pack 2016"
2. write band name
3. print it, put thin paper on top
4. start adding more spikes n shit
5. scan & repeat
6. ???
7. profit

took me 1 hour whew

>>306678
but that's the easy way
I might do that to sell dull logos to mediocre bands but that's not how you come up with a great logo

Basically, manually paint all the letters in white on a black backdrop. make them really long and spiky, impossible to read and MAKE SURE it is as generic as possible, not original at all and therefore very forgettable.

I would start with calligraphic Germanic text and manipulate that.

I'm interested in learning this too

lots of great logos here (from the guy who did the Emperor logo)

>>306678
looks nice but more like a death metal logo
something like OP's pic is harder to pull off well though

>>307468
actually this link is better (look for the Logos 20xx folders)

Looks like it would be a logo for a techo-stoner-black metal band

Just draw a scribble.
