With branding an merchandise being such a huge importance when it comes to artists generating revenue, I’m surprised that there aren’t a lot more memorable logos from hip hop artists. This is something that emerging artists should make a note of when thinking about their marketing strategy. Anyway here are, in my opinion, the most recognizable and memorable hip hop artists’ logos.
5. Diplomats: While their influence has faded lately, many fans showed their allegiance to Dipset by proudly displaying this logo back when this group were at their peak.
4. Hieroglyphics: This crew created a logo that I think has become more popular than the group itself. It has stood the test of time in hip hop culture.
3. Public Enemy: Not much to say here. One look and you know what crew this logo belongs to.
2. Wu Tang: Might be the most tatted hip hop logo on this list. Wu Tang forever!
1. RUN DMC: It was a tough call between this logo and Wu’s logo for the top spot. But I think that Run DMC’s logo is more globally recognized because they were a big mainstream success back in day.
Side note: There are a lot of very recognizable logos from hip hop labels. I chose to focus on the ones associated with artists in this post.
