Meaning and History
The legacy undeniably brought by the former members of the bands Santana, Frumious Bandersnatch, and Steve Miller Band had a profound impact on the young collective. After all, each founder added a particle of a genre close to them: psychedelia, rock, or Mexican motifs. The result was a volatile mix, energy-filled with the ability to surge forward. Creativity also spilled onto visual identity, as the outward appearance should harmonize with the internal content of songs.
Rock is a classic expression of emotions, and in modern performance, it is also a new vintage, inflaming and fueling the flame that has not faded in the heart. It is nostalgia expressed by sounds and colors – bright, bold, and provocative. All Journey logos are, of course, unfathomable, but they have a common grain, which explains the worldview of the music group. Breadth. The broad sweep of free wings. It is present on almost every emblem, adorning the 18 albums.
What is Journey?
The Journey is an American musical group that emerged in 1973 in San Francisco, where former members of Santana, Frumious Bandersnatch, and the Steve Miller Band founded it. They perform in various rock sub-genres: progressive, soft, heavy, jazz-rock, and arena-rock. Nineteen of their singles have been included in the US top 40. Over the years, the band has risen to 25th in global sales, recording 25 gold and platinum albums.
The Journey logo, used for the Freedom collection, appeared in 2022. Its distinctiveness lies in its vibrant colors, rich shades, and profound philosophical concept. The harmonious union of graphics and text forms it.
- The name of the music group is located at the top. It’s executed in uppercase font with double letters: the first is light and broad, and the second is dark and narrow. The glyphs seem to overlap each other – black on yellow. The geometric symbols don’t have serifs and look like ancient signs.
- A stylized image of a scarab occupies the main part of the emblem. This sacred beetle carries many meanings; hence, it was revered by many nations. It symbolizes the god of the rising sun, reincarnation, courage, eternity, and success. The insect is depicted on the emblem as it is typically seen on talismans: a large ball in its front paws, a small one in its back paws, wings spread wide, resembling bird feathers. The Scarab is located in the center.
A golden border frames the white pearl. Bright yellow is present both in the middle of the composition and in the rock group’s name. The beetle has a standard shape and the usual texture of the chitinous coating – it’s glossy, shiny, as if polished, with barely noticeable vertical stripes on the body.
Font and Colors
The designers chose a smooth font without serifs for the Journey logo inscription. The letters are geometric, chopped, and double, as thin ones are in the wide glyphs. The palette of the sign is very bright: red, black, gold, blue, emerald, and white. Together, they support a powerful dynamic mood. A gradient flow of colors forms the background. Such decoration makes the emblem provocative and challenging, filled with peak energy.
