nu metal band Logos and Brands

Specific nu metal bands, treated as separate brands, comprise the “Nu Metal Band” section of the “Nu Metal” genre. Mudvayne, with painted faces and aggressive typography; Papa Roach, with a cockroach in its logo; Staind; P.O.D.; and Disturbed, with its mascot “The Guy,” represent individual visual identities within the genre. Many of the bands went through breakups and reunions in the 2010s, adapting their emblems to the nostalgic wave of festivals like Welcome to Rockville and Sick New World. The logos in this section capture the visual evolution of bands whose logos sold millions of T-shirts on the Warped Tour and at Hot Topic, even before the era of social media merch drops.
