Public Enemy
Chuck D, one of the most respected rappers ever, designed the logo for Public Enemy. For those that don't know, Public Enemy is a rebellious, pro-Black group that has inspired people since the 80's. The logo depicts a Black man in the crosshairs of a sniper's rifle. It articulated perfectly the group's message and music.
Run DMC
Run DMC broke barriers in music that just about everybody today benefits from. A huge part of that success is their logo. The logo is simple and the colors are almost always red, black and white (the same official colors of AllHipHop - not ironic). This logo has been a staple in music (not just rap) for since its incarnation in the early 80s. It is the only Hip-Hoplogo to appear on an adidas sneaker. Hey, I even made a hoodie that said "Run AHH." Go figure.
EPMD
Through the rigors of time, this logo may have been waned in popularity, but not those in the know. EPMD's logo remains a fixture in the rap game. It is a bit like Run DMC's log in nature, in my view, but keeps its own distinct identity. To this day, group's like Little Brother emulate the EPMD logo. Props to Eric Haze, the legendary Graf artist and designer.
