The Grateful Dead: Logo #333

I had hoped to get this up by 3:33 p.m., but, well, you know.  Imagine beating a dead horse for the rest of your life.

The Grateful Dead had three main logos that accompanied them through their long journey in life.  The "Stealie" skull-and-lightning was designed by Owsley Stanley and Bob Thomas in 1969.

Alton Kelley and Stanley "Mouse" Miller designed the flower skeleton in 1971, while Bob Thomas designed those famous dancing bears in 1973.

Doctor and the Medics: Logo #297

Clive Jackson {the Doctor of Doctor and the Medics} reports: "I designed the logo back in 1984, it's changed little since. First appeared on our "Happy But Twisted" EP in 1985 and continues to grace our backdrop and CDs to date!" Doctor and the Medics were a pop group that reflected pop back upon itself, distorting the features of an already warped dynamic by using liberal doses of grotesqueness, excessive makeup, high hokum and genuine fringe freakishness. Underrated in the wake of gilded arch-wackiness like Primus and Faith No More, they are to pop what Steve Martin is now to comedy: a visibly discomfited example of what once was.
