Vomit Posted October 2, 2004 I noticed, the band logo for my favorite band Doom looks very similiar to the logo for the game doom. And the band Doom has been around since 1982, before the video game came out. This is the bands logo. Maybe its just coincidence? Maybe i cant spell, either. 0 Share this post Link to post
Vile Posted October 2, 2004 There does seem to be some parallels in the curvature of the logo. Have you noticed any parallels between the band music and the game bgm? :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Sporku Posted October 2, 2004 iD software either happened to like that band, or just liked the logo and decided to completely and utterly rip it off. I dunno. I didn't even know there was a band named "Doom". 0 Share this post Link to post
Amaster Posted October 2, 2004 I'd say this makes more sense in Classic Doom general. I wouldnt be surprised if the id guys were "inspired" by the band logo. 0 Share this post Link to post
Technician Posted October 3, 2004 The guys at id had some one else do the logo I believe. 0 Share this post Link to post
Vomit Posted October 3, 2004 There isnt any similarities between the bands music and the music in doom. Doom is a VERY underground band. They are whats called Crust Punk. Its punk thats heavy as shit. Often times mixed with grindcore. I would be really suprised if the guys at id actually knew this band. It is possible though. Its something we need to research and asked id abbout directly. I'll do it, just tell me who to e-mail 0 Share this post Link to post
Nmn Posted October 3, 2004 That logo sure looks badass to me. And those O's are so.. angular, like those in Doom's (game's) logo. Who knows. 0 Share this post Link to post

Vomit Posted October 3, 2004 You guys should really check out this band. If you want an MP3 of them, just e-mail me, or message me on AIM at InCrustWeRust I should have a song uploaded to the net today though, so ill post a link 0 Share this post Link to post
deathbringer Posted October 3, 2004 Sounds like they are like Oi Polloi, ive heard to them referred to as 'crust punk'. I always thought that meant punk-like music about really sick subjects (in the style of Anti-Nowhere League and The Macc Lads), but apparently it means something else 0 Share this post Link to post
Vomit Posted October 3, 2004 Nah, Oi Polloi was anarcho. Crust Punk started in 77 with amebix and disorder. Its very political and often times depressing. Crust Punks are called Hippies alot for their belief in peace and love, but you couldnt tell that from listening to the music. The vocals range from normal singing, to low pitched growling, to high piched screaming. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted October 6, 2004 how old is the band and was that logo made after doom or before. maybe they took it off the game. or maybe just maybe great minds think alike 0 Share this post Link to post
Little Faith Posted October 6, 2004 My dear Sephiroth, it is good manners always to read the first post of a thread before asking a question that has already been answered. 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMer87 Posted October 7, 2004 ive seen DooM before. They came out back in '99 with like a 30 track CD. only saw it on musicmatch, though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Mogul Posted October 13, 2004 Isn't there a WAD that uses that logo? It's not Gothic, but it's something in the same vein... 0 Share this post Link to post
