History Brand Upon the Brain

David Cotner, mastermind of the essential Actions list profiled earlier this year, has a new blog devoted to band logos.
He’s done 24 so far, including Squarepusher, Inspiral Carpets, Joy Division, Faust, Blue Öyster Cult, 7 Seconds, and The Specials. With so many logos out there - Yes, Prince, Miles Davis, and Scelsi also come to mind - Cotner’s blog could easily become a book.
Here’s the signet of the enigmatic Giacinto Scelsi (1905-1982).
When asked to draw an emblem depicting his late-in-life serial music, Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) drew this.
Scelsi, cool, never heard of him, but now i do! I've been sampling around with Vivaldi, tangentalli, some other Italian composer as well (who wrote an early 1900s opera about California!)
Haven't looked at the newspaper/your recommendations Christopher, in the paper for a few weeks. I saw that a Wagner is in town. Cheers to ya
