rock Logos and Brands
Rock music, as a cultural phenomenon that swept through the second half of the 20th century and continues to spawn new subgenres in the 21st century, sets the framework for the “Rock” section. Labels, festivals, media outlets, and artists associated with the rock scene have created logos that have become part of mass visual culture. Rolling Stone, Gibson, Marshall, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and dozens of festival brands, from Glastonbury to Lollapalooza, carry in their emblems the legacy of a genre that originated in the 1950s, a fusion of blues, country, and rhythm and blues. This section covers the entire spectrum of the rock industry, where visual symbols outlive specific musical trends.
