Bands Logo #1: The Ramones

El artista de New York y amigo de la banda Arturo Vega seleccionó el Sello del presidente de los Estados Unidos como uno de los puntos de partida para el diseño de la banda legendaria de Punk allá por 1970. Su intención era representar a Los Ramones como una banda definitivamente Estadounidense.

I saw them as the ultimate all-American band. To me, they reflected the American character in general—an almost childish innocent aggression.... I thought, 'The Great Seal of the President of the United States' would be perfect for the Ramones, with the eagle holding arrows—to symbolize strength and the aggression that would be used against whomever dares to attack us—and an olive branch, offered to those who want to be friendly. But we decided to change it a little bit. Instead of the olive branch, we had an apple tree branch, since the Ramones were American as apple pie. And since Johnny was such a baseball fanatic, we had the eagle hold a baseball bat instead of the [Great Seal]'s arrows.
