I love the classic, sharp, post-glam Van Halen wordmark and the simple, symmetrical geometry of the Nine Inch Nails wordmark, and I thought I'd try to bridge those with this custom Mauvestrom lettering.
This is a custom mark with hand-drawn glyphs, giving it that classic DIY feel that lends itself to grungy photocopy fanzines and other underground design.
Playing upon some trends in rock/metal, it has that eastern-european constructivist feel to it (without using blackletter), and is a self-contained design that will naturally lend itself to t-shirts, hats, stickers, and other branded merch bands depend on for monetization these post-advance days.
