| Set Abominae |
Iced Earth logoI have always been fascinated by the Iced Earth logo. But, I've noticed a few "errors" in the logo that just don't seem right to me. And the only reason why I think they are errors [that I can think of] is because I'm an artist and this stuff drives me nuts.Look at the picture below to see what I mean. 
And it's like this on EVERY album cover except the original S/T cover. Has anyone else noticed/is anyone else just a bit bothered by this? |

Wasn't that like an original drawing from Schaffer's folder in middle school or something? | ||||
| Beast Of Metal |
I think that's the way they wanted it to be made...
Or we have been lied to all this time O_O |
||||
| Set Abominae |
I'm not sure, and I'm sorry if I sounded a bit too analytical there. It just bothers me because I'm an artist.
Yes, it is true Schaffer created the logo for The Rose/Purgatory/Iced Earth in middle school, I just thought they may make it "different" I guess. I dunno. |
||||
| Beast Of Metal |
Well at least it's a good logo, right? I mean it could be worse...
Schaffer is an artist as well. I even heard he's coming out with his own Set Abominae graphic novel. |
||||
| Set Abominae |
Oh by all means don't get me wrong. The logo is by far my favorite metal logo of all time. It even beats the badassness of the oldschool Metallica logo. | ||||
| Beast Of Metal |
Yeah. I like Nevermore logo. That's one of my favorite.
But this logo is awesome. I wish someone made lettering for every letter using this font... |
||||
| XBurner |
Yeah, I love it... Personally, I fucking hate all these bands using that barbed-wire/blades/flames looking fonts for their uberhardcore bands. | ||||
| Set Abominae |
Don't you have the Iced Earth font? It's got it for all the letters, but not for the numbers or symbols. |
||||
| Beast Of Metal |
O_O
I love you! |
||||
| Beast Of Metal |
But how do I use it? | ||||
| Set Abominae |
Unzip the file, copy the file, and paste it into C:/WINDOWS/Fonts | ||||
| Beast Of Metal |
It's not a .zip folder for me. it's a .RAR and I extract it using winRAR. How does that work? | ||||
| Set Abominae |
shit....what's your email.... | ||||
| Voice of Dissent |
does Iced Earth's font not look blade-like to you?
Just google it... it's a program... the one i have is called wrar370 i guess (thats the name of the icon) |
||||
| XBurner |
No, no... not like that. Lemme try and find one as an example. 
That's one... for DeathMetal, it seems to be the standard that I've seen. |
||||
| Beast Of Metal |
^^Lol. Anal Bleeding! | ||||
| XBurner |
Haha, I know... terribly bad names are another standard for death metal. | ||||
| Voice of Dissent |
I thought the same thing, lol
Anal Bleeding (must be a gay band) |
||||
| The Wicked One |
Anal Cunt is also a fucked up band name. | ||||
| XBurner |
There's tons of stupid band names in the Death/Whatever Metal community. I think Microwaved Fetus was probably one of the worst I've heard. | ||||
| Beast Of Metal |
Yeah. But there are good names, such as Death, Vader, and Finntroll | ||||
| Stormrider |
Anal Bleeding and Anal Cunt arent as bad as Anal Vomit. Lot of anal bands out, makes me wonder about them, hmmm. Or am I being to anal about this. | ||||
| The Wicked One |
it doesn't matter, you have the right to be as anal as you want. | ||||
| Beast Of Metal |
It's just wrong. How do you suspect people to take you seriously if you got a name like that? | ||||
| XBurner |
...exactly. But apparently they have fans. I have one metalhead elitist friend that swears by Anal Cunt. 
|
||||
| Voice of Dissent |
lol... Anal Cunt... thats a ridiculous name, lol | ||||
| Beast Of Metal |
Sad sad sad... | ||||
| XBurner |
That's my arguement against him. 
|
||||
| The Wicked One |
Marketing for a band is everything, i guess having such an outlandish name attracted at least some attention . | ||||
| XBurner |
Yeah, idiotic kids are like 'lol their name is ANAL CUNT????!?!? they gotta be great, let's pay anything to see their shitty show'. | ||||
| Voice of Dissent |
it probably drives off a proportional amount of slightly mature people | ||||
| The Wicked One |
one of my friends wants to make a grindcore band called Bonerpuppy | ||||
| Voice of Dissent |
"I HAVE A BONER!"

| Beast Of Metal |
^^I love that movie! | ||||
| SpicyBurrito |
yeah that movie is awesome! | ||||
| 1776 |
I think the topic start is insane : P | ||||

Jon is intending on releasing a comic book series approximately one year after Revelation Abomination is released which would further expand on the Something Wicked story line. He is also wanting to do a feature film in Hollywood based around the SW story. Trivia - IE were suppose to do the sound track for the live action movie SPAWN, back in 1997. Hence, Todd McFarlane doing the art for The Dark Saga album. |
||||
| The Wicked One |
that would have been the shit.
the comic strip and movie may actually work. |
||||
| BurntOfferings666 |
Dude, it could SOOOOOO work, especially if Jon writes the screenplay, not the script. | ||||
| The Wicked One |
They need to make a new spawn movie. The old one barely hit the mark in accuracy.
I mean they had a Saved Spawn but that was weak as hell in comparison to the series. They did not have a Hunter AT ALL maybe have it close to "A Question of Heaven" time frame. this way it could be a sequel. |

| Aggelos Poneros |
in my town are death metal bands with animal names... like Dying Pig, Horny Cow, Raping Goat etc... |
||||
| paranoidmexican009 |
wow | ||||
| The Wicked One |
one of my friends wanted to make a grindcore band called boner puppy | ||||
| Set Abominae |
Jesus Christ, what the hell?! Why?! |
||||
| The Wicked One |
cus its a funny name. that and he likes stuff like Horse the Band.
Oh well, if I ever got good at either singing or guitar id make a thrash or power band. |
||||
| Aggelos Poneros |
boner puppy?
loool 
that reminds me on something.... my friend need a name for power/speed metal band... any ideas? |
||||
| The Wicked One |
Goeta. | ||||
| Aggelos Poneros |
what that means? | ||||
| The Wicked One |
actually its Goetia
its a Hebrew organization that could summon demons and spirits that were once controlled by King Solomon. The leaders are descendants of King Solomon |
||||
| Aggelos Poneros |
there's already a band called like that 
and that's really good name... |
||||
| The Wicked One |
damn
alright heres some 1s i think would be good. *warning* i watch alot of Anime...XD Gamorah, like the city Sodom, it was a city destroyed by God. Grimuore (sp) its a lable for books that has spells and demon summonings in it. Necronomicron is the name of such a book. that name has already been used. Dante's Inferno...how fitting to come from an IE forum The High Council I have some powermetal names but ill see if you like these. I wished no1 came up with Faust before me. THAT is a badass band name. |
||||
| Aggelos Poneros |
I like the names 
p.s. Anime rules |
||||
| The Wicked One |
crunchyrole.com
veoh.com uploads new and old anime constantly. |
||||
| Aggelos Poneros |
hey, tnx! | ||||
| Aggelos Poneros |
name of the band is THE ROSE...
it reminds me on something... xD |
||||
| Black_Sheep |
I heard that Jon's friend (the guy who got killed in the motorcycle accident) designed the IE -logo
i have always liked it, and the fact that they haven't changed it over the years |
||||
| Dante |
No i think he just got up with the name... I think Jon is the "designer". |
||||
| The Wicked One |
The Rose, Purgatory and IE all have the same font style.
So Jon's friend only came up with the name. |
||||
| Aggelos Poneros |
I have 1 question about Jon..
Did he finishe high school? cause I read somewhere that he was kicked out... |
||||
| The Wicked One |
i think he dropped out when his friend died. | ||||
| Tainted Innocence |
im not sure about that,
but he did go to flordia at 16 and about the logo not all of them are the same actually, im reffering to the IE logo if you look at them you'll see that as i have said they are not all the same |
