Metal logos live on atmosphere: heavy blackletter forms, spiked symmetry, and a near-monochrome palette broken by a single accent. Across heavy, thrash, doom and black metal the type does the heavy lifting — the trick the classics get right is staying readable while still looking brutal. This generator keeps the gothic weight while making sure the name still parses on a shirt and a streaming thumbnail.
Pick a blackletter or tall condensed face, drop in a skull, flame or bolt, and set it on noir, blood-red or bone. Build it as a stacked mark or a circular crest with an “MMXIX” year line. Everything renders live in your browser — no account, no upload — and exports a clean vector SVG plus transparent PNG for merch and covers, or a full brand kit with a favicon and avatar.

What you download: SVG is vector with every letter outlined (no live text, no font needed), canvas 1400 × 600, 1000 × 1000. PNG is a 1600 px-wide raster (1600 × 686 px, 1600 × 1600 px), transparent only if ticked, with no DPI stored — about 13.5 cm wide at 300 ppi. The brand kit (.zip) adds favicon.ico (16/32/48), a 512 px avatar and the colours as .txt/.json. Typefaces here: Pirata One, Staatliches, Anton, Archivo Black, all SIL OFL 1.1 per their font files (license).
Limits we tested: Name up to 28 characters, tagline 20, initials 3, all set in capitals. Japanese (kana and JIS X 0208 kanji) and Korean (KS X 1001 hangul) come from bundled Noto subsets; anything else — e.g. 髙, 똠 or emoji — is not drawn, and the tool names it. One icon from this page’s set, preset palettes only, no image upload. A download is not a trademark registration or search.

Brutal but legible
The most common mistake is illegibility — endless spikes that read as a blob. Use the blackletter face for impact, but keep the icon simple and the contrast high. Want it even more extreme? The death metal logo generator leans fully into blood-and-bone. Want it cleaner? The rock band and general band logo generators dial the aggression back.

Frequently asked questions
What font is used for metal band logos?
Most use gothic blackletter or heavily spiked custom lettering; cleaner heavy and thrash bands often use a tall condensed face. This tool offers a blackletter typeface plus condensed options, all outlined to crisp vectors so the jagged forms stay sharp at any size.
How do I keep a metal logo readable?
Balance the aggression: pick one ornate element — the type or the icon, not both — keep contrast high (bone on black, or a single blood-red accent), and test it small. A metal logo that still reads at thumbnail size will read on a backdrop too.
Does this work for heavy, thrash and black metal?
Yes. Use the blackletter face and a noir or blood palette for black and death-leaning bands; switch to a tall condensed face for a cleaner heavy or thrash look. Toggle the skull, flame or bolt icon and the badge crest to match your subgenre.
Can I use my metal logo commercially?
Yes. Logos are built from an original parametric engine and open-licensed (SIL OFL) fonts, so you can use the files for merch, covers, posters and channels. See the licensing page for the full terms.
Will my metal band logo be trademark-safe?
We don’t run a trademark search, and a generated logo is not a registered trademark. Before you build a brand around it, check it against existing marks (for example the USPTO database) and avoid copying an existing band. The design is a starting point, not legal advice.
