Fuzz Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 Saw the promo photo today for Tre Cool and SJC drums and they used the old Green Day logo from the trilogy. Warner music spain used the old logo in their promo to listen to 'Bang Bang' So I'm curious if they're just waiting to announce the new logo when the single comes out, or when the album artwork comes out - or if it'll be very similar at all. lets take a look at some of their old logos. Which style was your favorite? Any you hope they'll take inspiration from for the new design? 21st Century Breakdown American Idiot. The trilogy logo looks a lot like the AI logo, just italicized. Warning Nimrod Insomniac Dookie Kerplunk (I believe it was also used on 39 Smooth and Slappy) 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours
PursuitOfEpicness Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 Since they pretty much have used a different logo for each era i assume they'll do another one. By seeing the dudes artwork and the spray paint style I feel like it will be something like Shenanigans style. I'm very excited for the new artwork!

And it's some of my favorite artowkr. The logo itself was pretty weak. The spray paint was pretty cool. However, it seems like the new artists style is way more grungy/DIY. I'm pretty excited about it. It makes Shenanigans look polished.

That's just a sticker they put on the plastic wrap of the CDs so people know what the album is. There is no actual logo on the front of the album itself And the Kerplunk logo was designed by David Hayes and used on 1000 Hours, Slappy, Sweet Children, Foot in Mouth, and Bowling Bowling Bowling Parking Parking. It was most recently used for the flier of the House of Blues show
Clockwise Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 I always forget how much I love the Nimrod logo, and I don't think the 21CB logo has aged that well. I'd be happy if they kept the trilogy logo, just made it black like on the WBR promo image. I'm sure we'll get a new one though.
UNICORN VOMIT Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 I like them all - I'm so warm & fuzzy for green day at the moment.
SuperXCsabre495 Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 The 21st Century Breakdown logo is easily my favorite (for now) but I can't wait to see what they'll do next for the new album
Sixtrix Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 I guess I like the American Idiot/trilogy logo the most - as long as it's got the right color. I do think there will be a new logo for the new album that would fit with the artwork.
solongfromthestars Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 The trilogy logo would fit with titles like Bang Bang and I'd be cool with them keeping that. I'm guessing they've got something new that could also be like the 21CB logo since that had a graffiti theme. Those two are my favourites, I do really like the Dookie and Nimrod logos but I can't see something similar fitting with new music.
PurpleIron1039 Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 I've always liked the 21CB and Dookie logos the most, but if they keep the one from the Trilogy and simply turn it black, I won't complain either.
Dakke Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 I'd love to have a drawn logo ala Dookie, but in my opinion all logos from Warning onward (save 21CB) have a timeless style. I wouldn't even object to a Nimrod style logo.
Tomcat20 Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 Judging from Tre's drumkit and Jason guitar picks it's likley that the font will end up being black and white.
Siddharth_471 Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 You missed International Superhits! logo, it's pretty cool. My favourite is 39/Smooth logo, it looks sharp and great. The logo from 21stCB is creative. Kerplunk! logo is also good and I remember it was also used around 21stCB tour. As stated above the new album art will be more DIY so a logo in the same vein (but still artistic) would be great.
armatage Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if they stuck to the trilogy logo, except made it b/w.
Maddie86 Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 the trilogy logo does look good in black but I think they'll go with something new seeing as how they have a new guy doing the rest of the art. I've always liked the Kerplunk and nimrod logos the best. Warning was made to look like Husker Du's logo, so I hope they don't try to do something like that again. I never really liked the logo from 21st either
armatage Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 I just remembered - there's also the logo they use as their icon on youtube (and facebook too I think?) - maybe they're gonna stick with that one?
Billie Hoe Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 I think they will keep it rather simple again and similar to the Trilogy and American Idiot font, and not playful like Kerplunk or 21st Century Breakdown. A handwritten logo would be amazing though and it would fit their sound, if it is indeed more "punky" like the reviews said. Maybe something like this: Or this: just kidding
Stefano Bras Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 The most iconic ones are the logos for 21st Century Breakdown and Kerplunk, for sure.

Also, the second font is a bit strange, it makes it look like it's Green Pay. A huge nope.
Eric Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 I hope they just keep the trilogy style. It's the best one!
Joe. Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 Trilogy in b/w for me, but the last logo from that tumblr is cool
platypus136 Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 no matter what - i´m sure they´ll do something good because green day has style its the music that counts!
