How to design a logo

Logos:

A band logo is a huge part of the band culture, as it becomes a recognizable emblem that often reflects the genre and ideology of the band.

• Band and artist logos, appear on the t-shirts, stickers, and merchandise sales. 
• It can become cultural as well, fans will learn how to draw and perhaps get it tattooed, etc.

There are lots of things that play into this, but to focus: mainly Simplicity and Font

There are 7 types of logo:

Abstract mark

Mascot Logo

Combination mark

Emblem logo

Lettermark

Pictorial Mark

Wordmark

For example, the Rolling Stones Logo is big blocks of color that print easily, the bright red is attention-grabbing and aggressive, the tongue looking almost vulgar and cartoonish with the contrast between the red, black, and whites.

This is a perfect 

This emblem has been used to sell merchandise and is now an easily recognizable symbol of the band.

My own design:

I designed a logo for a metal band called "The Daggers" I used knife imagery to connote a more violent ideology that suits the genre of the band. The print would be easily recognisable and something the band could create stickers, t-shirts, and other merchandise for. It's also something they could print other drums or their guiters.
