"o"

[hibernal_dream]

Whoever drew that "O" in the Opeth logo was an absolute genius.

Does anyone think it looks like a garden entangled with vines, with a butterfly in the top right and a dragonfly in the bottom left?

 

[Russell]

Yeah I saw that. Have you seen the earlier logos? I preffer this one so much! It was drawn by Timo Ketola. Here are the old ones:

(help how do u attatch more than one file?)

 

[Russell]

heres the other one

 

[Johan]

has anyone noticed that it resembles a yin yang symbol?
You might also see that musical symbol that I don't know the name of (g-klav in swedish?)

 

[Johan]

By the way,
On my MAYH cd there's a label with the old logo (from orchid), I wonder why they did that.

 

[hibernal_dream]

actually, you can sort of make out both treble and bass clefs, with a bit of imagination

 

[Johan]

*cough* sorry for spamming, but I just thought of another thing...

In the cd case to Blackwater Park (the section the CD rests in) there's a new version of the logo which looks more like a wilted garden, if you want to see it as a garden... I didn't really notice it before, interesting.

"You might also see that musical symbol that I don't know the name of (g-klav in swedish?)"

They call that "treble clef" here in america (in fact most parts of the world I think), the other clef being the bass clef.

I think the logo in the Blackwater Park case is the same...

 

[Johan]

Well, the one on the cover is the same, but not the one "hidden" behind the CD itself, it definitely looks wilted.

 

[Lina]

Yeah, I guess it is wispier. I was comparing it to the logo that I have as my computer wallpaper , but then I realized that I have one of the new variations on my computer. Doh. That's what I get for being a bitch.

 

[Johan]

Don't worry.
So where did you get the background?

 

[Demonspell]

The older logo reminds me of the font used in Still Life...

Heh, referring to the bass clef as the 'other' clef probably makes the tenor clef and the alto clef feel kinda left out.

heres the other one

Sorry to make you all sick with jealousy, but I've got shirt with this logo on. It was one of 10 printed before the band got signed.

That logo doesn't even look good, so poor you!

 

[Duvall]

Maybe so, but what a kickass thing to own. Anyone on this forum wouldn't bitch about having a pre-signing Opeth shirt. so shush you!

 

[Johan]

What? It holds no value for me!

(I'm in denial, so sue me)

 

[Opet]

The one with the cross? What'd you make that shirt? I think that'd be hot to own one. Hm...that gives me an idea!

LYNN
