The "skull and crossbolts" logo was designed in 1998 by bassist Paul Miner for the Orange County hardcore unit Death By Stereo, from which he departed to start a second life as a producer and engineeer. Miner: "I originally designed the Death By Stereo logo, and it first appeared on our debut 7" ("Fooled By Your Smile") in 1998. It was a bum-out to see the logo in the "Death Proof," the Quentin Tarantino movie, but they didn't actually use the same logo. I saw a promo poster about one-and-a-half years before it came out, in which they were using the actual logo, and I got pretty fired up. But somewhere along the line they realized there might be some copyright trouble, so they changed it ever-so-slightly...oh well."
