OUGD601 - Icon Symbols - Research

I thought it would be beneficial to look into musician's' icon symbols for the production of Green Velvet's promotional material. Understanding how a symbol can represent the artist.

Information Source -

"Daft Punk has a long history with anonymity-granting uniforms. In the beginning, the duo wore black bags on their heads, and the first version of their helmets featured wigs: one with straight, fluid hair for Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo; one with curly hair for Thomas Bangalter."

"For much of the 1990s, pop singer, songwriter and musician Prince changed his name to what he referred to as "an unpronounceable symbol," according to Entertainment Weekly. The glyph combined elements of astrological symbols for male and female in a form that resembled a scepter."

Information Source - 

"The "Tongue and Lip" was designed by John Pasche in 1970. He said: I wanted something anti-authority, but I suppose the mouth idea came from when I met Mick Jagger for the first time at the Stones' offices. ... In a nutshell, it perfectly encapsulated Mick Jagger's lips and the band's rebelliousness."
