rocknroll41 Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 If Axl ever really did do a solo project of some kind, I’d imagine slash and duff would both still be involved, at least to some capacity. but again, this is probably just for shoes or something.

KURT19 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Finally. Now we will get the opportunity to buy AXL ROSE* laundry bags, AXL ROSE* toy trucks, AXL ROSE* loungewear, AXL ROSE* bracelets and AXL ROSE* drinkware. Maybe even AXL ROSE* thong undergarments and AXL ROSE* duvet covers if we are lucky! Not sure about you guys, but I'm sick of GnFnR stuff anyways...

It's about time we had a sensible discussion of the Guns N' Roses visual branding. There was a time I loved GN'R to death. I'd wear the shirts, the hoodies, the patches, the badges. I had all the merch apart from that blackcurrant scented candle, which I only wish I'd bought. I've since become a graphic designer, and frankly, I'm tired of the stuff they're putting out. One band tshirt after another, which looks like another Iron Maiden shirt. I thought the bullet logo was good, but it's dated. The AFD crucifix might have been edgy in 1987, but it's just tacky now. It's not well drawn. I guess it sells, but honestly, I've not bought a GN'R tshirt since 2006, because it's just an illustration slapped on to a black Fruit of the Loom with no consideration for how it will look after a wash, or even if it will fit well. The GN'R visual style should be of a quality to reflect the quality of their music and live performance. If they're also a current band and not their own tribute, I'd like to see a refreshed logo, new fonts, new colours. All of which honours their legacy, but doesn't look as cliched as everything else. It's a project I'd be itching to do, but I don't know who I'd have to contact. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweersa Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I thought the 2002-2006 GN'R logos and artwork were the best. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im curious, if they hired you, what are a few options you'd present to them as a main logo (at least for a merch line)?

I don't know what axls relationship is like with his actual brother and sister but hopefully it's good to when the time does come(hopefully many decades from now) that his actual family are the ones to benifit and not the grifters managing( trades description act is doing heavy lifting) this band. I hope they don't get much of anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im curious, if they hired you, what are a few options you'd present to them as a main logo (at least for a merch line)? Off the top of my head, I'd propose a reworked bullet logo. Really simplified. Clean lines, less texture. Sweet geometry. All of their merch looks very American. European graphic design seems to me to be more functional and less art based than American design, so I guess that's why I hate it so much, it just doesn't align with my culture or tastes. The reason I haven't already designed it, is that anything I do pro bono gets shoved to the bottom of my to-do list. It would be a thankless task. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Rose is certainly having an interesting lockdown? Most of us are learning to cook banana bread whilst he is trademarking his name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallica and U2 both do a great job with merch, but the GNR shirt featuring the lithos were cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
