Oasis – The Story Behind The Iconic Logo
from Tom Moyse on 17 Sep 2024
The Oasis reunion has been confirmed. After 16 years of feuding between Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher, the brothers have put their differences aside for Oasis Live ’25 Tour. When the monumental Machester band get back together it’s sure to be incredible there will also probably be a lot of Oasis Decca Box Logo t-shirt floating about, just like there was in the 90’s when Oasis first arrived on the scene.In this video we go over the story of how the timeless Oasis logo came about. We cover the early days when Noel was a roadie for another iconic Manchester band, The Inspiral Carpets. How that led him to meet Liverpool Band The Real People and in turn get connected to Tony French, who create their first ever demo cover, for the Live Demonstration Tape. And also meet award winning graphic designer and art director Brian Cannon who is the founder of Microdot. Brian’s inspirations, from The Rolling Stones number 2 album, Joseph Muller Brockman, Adidas and how his conceptual album covers with lots of hidden meaning lead to the creation of the Oasis Decca Logo.This channel runs off your support and it’s greatly appreciated.
