Oasis Band Logo History

[@JemP85]

I would pay good money for a Microdot design book. One with the stories behind the design, like Michael Bierut's book.

[@doubledenimdude]

Absolutely a great shout for a microdot book

[@rubberchix]

No you wouldn’t

[@jhiramboggs]

@@doubledenimdudedress rrry😢really excited

[@lucasoheyze4597]

Why? All the stories are here on KZbin.

[@mrsiftercovers5097]

Being an oasis fan from 1994 one of the things I remember from those days was the excitement of buying the singles and albulms the covers and oasis logo was so iconic .. some fascinating insights here thanks Brian

[@henrydemonfreid1985]

absolutely

[@ffedor77]

Same with me boss .....great memories

[@TheInternetIsDeadToMe]

That logo does something to my brain whenever I look at it. So many great memories.

[@BryanCooperOfficial]

This was fantastic. Your presentation style was well paced and felt like you were sat across from us at a table just having a chat. Depth of field on the camera shot was really tasteful too. I'd love to hear you talk about other bands' logos (even ones you didn't design) in a similar fashion.

[@DavidMartins1]

As a graphic designer and an Oasis fan, I enjoyed this very much. Would love to see more of your work.

[@M0rgoth9876]

Currently in the process of doing rebrand work for a band and i've been stuck with designers block for a while until this video has given me a kick-up the arse. Legendary work, legendary man.

[@peanutismint]

This was fascinating! Being Oasis mad in secondary school my friends and I would mock up our own versions of the logo in Helvetica Black Italic for stickers/wall posters etc.

[@SonarFates]

Brian Cannon and Microdot, two legendary names I grew up admiring and being inspired by. Great to hear your insights, please do more.

[@jameshenderson6715]

So glad you finally went on and did this. Remember, sir, YOU are also a large part of OASIS history. Very excited to learn more about the stories behind different sleeves and whatnot. Much love from Canada!

[@ExileGilby64]

This just popped up on my feed, what a great watch, grew up with the band and the artwork is totally classic and went hand in hand with the tunes, cheers!

[@jonahhill8731]

Agreed .

[@chrismills8352]

'Typographical Hero' - Not phrase you hear everyday.

[@johnevans5662]

I had the white swirl t-shirt. Bought in 1994 after seeing oasis at Glastonbury and then Newcastle Riverside gig. Wish I had a picture of me in it from then. Bought a few 5ft x 3ft subway oasis posters for the house. Great channel Brian 👏

[@balke7935]

It’s crazy how much they nailed Helvetica. I come back to it time and time again in my designs and use it as a benchmark by which to gauge other fonts. I think I always will. Never gets out of date or dull, pure class.

[@belyla]

Thank you for this video. As a designer and especially as a fan of oasis, I was delighted to see this.

[@themarinman8339]

This is absolute gold. You are a living legend Brian.

[@terencestephenmoss2159]

Quality history Brian Cannon. Great stories for all OASIS fans

[@garethflynn]

Loved this - suggestions for a the next one: the making of the cover of Verve's debut single in Mesnes Park!

[@Fudge-picker]

In my school, we got a new computer suite with brand new PCs in 1995. We spent 5 mins every lesson making this logo for the background of our home screen, only for the teacher to make us remove it 😂

[@dixogaming926]

Thank you Brian for sharing this stories with the Oasis fans, it's amazing to see how the iconic logo came to be.

[@truelovewontwait]

at first, I thought, how does he gonna talk about a single logo for 19 minutes? surely some old footage of the band, fancy transition and whatnot will be tucked in to squeeze duration. oh how happy am I for being wrong. very concise and informative. straight from the man himself. salute. please do more. thank you.

[@13StJimmy]

As a graphic designer and a massive Oasis fan this was a real treat

[@mrsifter2404]

To a lifelong Oasis fan like me this is fascinating stuff. I was 15 in 1994 and Oasis became and still are my life. I already knew bits and bobs about the logos etc but this went in-depth and I love that! More please!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@CraigABuchanan]

Absolutely LOVE this video! Cheers! When I was a teenager in the 90s I was SO curious about you and Microdot! I’d love to see breakdowns of every cover you worked on to be honest!

[@castnoshadowofficial7301]

Just finished. Utterly fantastic Brian. You're a blessing bro. Thank you for this! Cannot wait for more!

[@originunknown519]

What a fantastic video... incorporating an iconic band with design and history. Loved hearing about the thought process and the internal struggle for perfection.

[@jacksalami9945]

Dear Brian, thank you, I received my Lucky Man print & WTSMG Vinyl (signed) ! Amazing, ordered on a Sunday & delivered from the U.K. to Sydney in only 5 days, Quality, well packaged & protected, all in Mint Condition. The Print's now framed & on my wall, whilst the Albums been spinning non stop on my Turn-table. You're a true Gentleman !

[@danrussell5618]

It would be great to have an episode on each of the sleeves and what went behind it 👌

[@raymondsmith4991]

Fantastic history lesson Brian, I've always had a fascination for album and single sleeve designs starting with Peter Saville designs for Joy Division & New Order then onto John Squire's Stone Roses covers, Central Station's Happy Mondays to Designer Republic Orb Artwork. Brian you're up there with the best!

[@goldwold]

Thank you as a music lover and graphic designer I love getting a sneak peek inside your process. And your stories are so good! Thank you.

[@ManuelCeballos]

Absolutely love it! It´s iconic. Thank you Brian!

[@backandfour]

This is priceless. That logo means so much. It is my youth. Here I am, 42 years old.

[@joshhamstra]

Who’s the 7 people who gave this a thumbs down? This is gold

[@christxraps3553]

The members of blur

[@alexbielovich]

This is fantastic. I hope more record cover designers take a cue from this.

[@marcusorlandi8054]

Just found this video. As an artist and an oasis fan this blew me away - hope there's more

[@samanthashiner1911]

Not just a brilliant history of the logo, but some really epic stories here! Amazing work Brian :-)

[@dannyh5937]

That original is a priceless piece of Oasis history. Please keep these videos coming.

[@sugarmice]

This was such an interesting story to hear. Incredibly well told by Brian

[@andrewbutler9533]

Really great video. As a fellow graphic designer I can totally relate to the 'not having that font' scenario. I love the original logo and wish they'd kept it in the 2000s.

[@finianreilly3617]

Brilliant stuff Brian.- can't wait to hear about the early verve ep covers. Especially 'gravity grave' - that photo is class.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Love your story about the scrapped car. Really looking forward to the next one!

[@Drumminforgod76]

Brian, Such an amazing journey that you are taking us on. Could listen to this stuff all day long. More please!

[@ronanmcmanus7814]

Heard you on Chris Moyles this morning, I thought the interview was fascinating. Thanks for doing the You Tube channel looking forward to hearing your stories .

[@davidbates9195]

Top video, top design, top bloke. Thanks Bri, love these insights into how sleeves that defined the mid-90s were created. More please 👍🏻

[@Tadhg249]

This guy's passion is inspiring! Great history and stories here

[@JuanMcGonzalez]

Big YES to more videos about all the artwork, I have always been really interested about it. I couldn’t understand why the logo had to be skewed as they didn’t have the same font Thanks for this video Brian, I love it. I never realised the font for the Union Jack logo is not the same than the final logo.

[@marklcairns]

Like everyone else, I loved the stories and detail. You make a great video host as well - very natural and relaxed. More like this please.

[@nickcompton4772]

Best debute KZbin video I’ve ever seen

[@levivalentinovideos]

Great video! Looking forward to visiting the shop when I’m in the Lake District in November!

[@jonnyscottblair]

Epic video, outstanding in fact. Growing up loving the band, the logo, the sleeves, the music. I worshipped the whole band, now it is clear that the whole team behind the scenes were on the same page the whole time. It worked, and it was magical. "Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be" - Noel Gallagher (1997).

[@tonyburke7376]

Loved watching this, getting to know more of the back history of the world's most iconic band.

[@markoutram001]

Super interesting, saw you on the Chris Moyles show, looking forward to hearing more history!

[@philanderson5138]

good work sir!

[@TheGrassRoots311]

Awesome story telling! Never knew the logo went through so many different changes! Gotta give us more!

[@SeanJepson7]

The black and white logo is the best ever IMO.

[@bobsbigboy_]

npc

[@mrshifter5007]

Please do more videos, great detail, well presented. 😉👍

[@mikewilliams5673]

Heard Brian on the Chris Moyles show where he mentioned this channel. Excellent mini documentary, really enjoyed it and looking forward to the next show. Thank you Brian, for this and your contribution to British art and pop art.

[@Jamiewharton]

She’s a Superstar cover would be cool to hear about. I bought a poster print of it from you years ago that hangs in my living room, knowing the full story of how that image was created would be very interesting to hear.

[@cameronmcfeat9798]

Brilliant work Brian, liked and subscribed 😁

[@hawsrulebegin7768]

I didn’t expect to enjoy this so much. Really interesting. Out of interest did you have an office in Shoreditch back in the 90s? Just subscribed

[@RichLOiD]

I was about to write exactly the same thing, didn't expect to enjoy 20mins of talking about the Oasis logo :D

[@scottptolomey3498]

Brilliant videos Brian love how passionate you still are over the Oasis artwork I had a lot of the original fly posters in the 90s especially the big 60 x 40 inch ones my favourite was ‘Rocking All Over The World’ promoting both albums at the time ….I always thought the font was also a slight take on The Stone Roses as they used Helvetica bold font on their Silvertone releases. Would also love how you made the Shakermaker sleeve which is my favourite sleeve design Microdot did for the band the concept of putting on the track on the stereo and melting everything because of its vibe I thought was brilliant !!!.

[@CK-ceekay]

I love this so much. Fascinating history, and Brian is clearly incredibly knowledgable and a bit of a legend haha

[@stevejacques6693]

Nice one Brian. Spot on.👍🏻

[@darraghmaguire8556]

This was amazing, I'm dying to hear more, please please please make more videos

[@jackcameback]

Wow - amazing - thank you so much - This should go viral - really well made and full of gems from history -THANK YOU!

[@gustavocatharino1342]

Wow, what a interesting history. Brian is such a good storyteller. I am now waiting for videos about the history of Oasis 90’s cover albuns. So iconic. Cheers!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@thekredyard7577]

Cool to see this. I’ve listened to Oasis over the years and years and years and now recently I really want to dig into oasis!

[@ollyg85]

Very interesting, loved it. I think a video of the story behind each of the Oasis album / singles covers would be awesome! :)

[@klgcreative]

SOOOO good, Brian! Thanks for sharing this history. In '94, my 12 year old self drew this logo on so many school books that I memorized every curve, every angle, every detail. It opened my eyes to design and I subsequently made graphic design my career. You'll always be an inspiration. Cheers for that!

[@eddysandland58]

Brian Your A Legend! I've been an Oasis fan since 94' n I also know the history of the logo (or what I thought I knew!?) But didn't know that it was You that got Oasis n The Verve together etc! Thanks a lot Man n can't wait till your next upload! Cheers

[@janknaepen4360]

Cheers mate, i've been hooked on Oasis since 97 when i took a schooltrip to London and bought their first 2 albums at Tower records before going back to Belgium. Oasis has and will be with me through all the high's and low's. Loving your info and channel and can't wait for new vids 👌🏻

[@jacrispyofficial98]

Awesome video As a 25 yearold Oasis fan I enjoyed hearing how much you helped the band with alot of their discography designs and the iconic band logo these stories are fascinating to hear YOU'RE A LEGEND greetings from the US 🤘😎🤘💯

[@smithers5816]

Fantastic video thanks. Such an iconic logo - it really is cool. Great to hear the history behind it... Ha, the Renault 5 story is a classic. 😎

[@Twinkletoes78]

All these years later and we are getting answers to all the questions we thought we'd never get answered. Just amazing to hear

[@paulogrady4498]

Great stuff, Brian. Pleasure to meet you and the Mrs yesterday at the Boutique.

[@Spike_Granada]

Thank you for sharing!!! AWESOME STORY!!

[@Mutzak]

Fascinating story Brian. Loved every second of it!

[@stevegibbs8249]

Really interesting, great work Brian. Now i see where all the money I've spent has gone, love it. More more MORE!!

[@jonathanjones5844]

great video brian, would love to see more… some fantastic stories.

[@tim8115]

Really enjoyed this, very interesting. Please do more.

[@N.F.F.C]

This was great. Loved the detail to the stories - please do more!

[@thekaratesuit]

top video… as a musician/producer in manchester - it’s nice to have a familiar northern voice talking about my side passion; graphic design and fonts and stuff

[@markbannister5335]

Fantastic as expected from Brian; the history of how these sleeves, logos etc came to be from the most important British bands is inspiring...looking forward to the next episodes. Cheers

[@MrAsh207]

Brilliant work Brian, takes me back a great decade. Am a die hard fan of the Verve, but loved it also when Oasis came to my attention back in 94. Can't wait for further episodes 😊

[@michaeldavidwilliams9776]

Fantastic insight Bri. Keep it up pal. Top stuff.

[@The.Dulcet.Toned.Scotsman]

Great vid Brian! You're a great story teller and all these tid bits of gold will no doubt bring a great joy and interest to oasis fans worldwide. My favourite sleeve will always be "Some Might Say" - a place I go cycling near Rosslyn Chapel just outside of Edinburgh has this great disused railway line with a station like the one from the cover and every time I go past there I belt out some might say like a right eejit without a care in the world - an automatic response triggered by a cracking song and an equally cracking sleeve - Top man Brian!

[@essexboy5520]

Remember seeing that logo for the first time in 94 and got it right away as I love early Stones. Brilliant vid Brian. Your Mad For It! (sorry) couldn't resist.

[@toppdogg-xy5kb]

Wow absolutely brilliant please do more stories it's great we are now in a error to share these stories. That's was brilliant. Can not wait for more stories and hope they come very soon 👏👏👏👏

[@davidchaber5462]

priceless to have this info right from you. Looking forward to your verve related clips.

[@stratocaster-dn7gt]

One of my favorite band logos. Excellent video.

[@TIDYKARMARECORDINGS]

Keep the videos coming. Met you at Shiiine a few years back and left with some T-shirts and signed posters. The tiny details are important and the fans buzz off them. Cheers kid!

[@xJAExz]

Nicely done Brian, I finally got around to watching this and it was great, really well presented. I'm Jonny the lad that helped you out at your gallery show in Leeds back in December 2015. I hope you're doing well and I look forward to seeing future videos.

[@TheThorntonBrapper]

Top work Captain. Can't wait for more of the stories as time goes on :) Love the loop/Rembrandt lighting and the background details!

[@graemebeaton]

Great insight into the workings of the oasis logo , Keep the videos coming Brian .

[@Johnniebhoy83]

Thanks for the stories and insight into the early days, Brian. Fans like me absolutely love this shit. Can't wait for more! Legend 🙏

[@patricksarsfield6548]

Fantatsic video and very well presented. WE WANT MORE! 😎
