Description
In this presentation we will investigate one of the visual sides of music, namely heavy metal band logos.
Christophe Szpajdel is a distinguished Belgian artist best known for his enormous production of logo designs for heavy metal bands. He achieved global fame when he designed the logo for the influential Norwegian black metal band Emperor. Since then he has produced several thousands unique, hand drawn logos.
Based on his great experience and artistic interaction with the genre Christophe will present his thoughts on the history, design, style and inspiration of heavy metal band logos. This touches upon important issues such as the relationship between music, band/performer identity and visual representation.
The seminar will begin with a short introduction by Vitus Vestergaard.
