Rating Metal Logos in 2024 (the overcomplicated way)

Are you looking for a concrete and precise method for determining the difficulty of an illegible metal logo you found on some worn out shirt at your local thrift shop? Well my friend, Octave Industries has delivered – in the form of an overcomplicated spreadsheet accessible FOR FREE via Google Docs. After almost 30 episodes of Deciphering Metal Logos, I have put together a rubric for rating metal logos that should make the difficulty scale (1–5) more consistent and meaningful. This video is intended to introduce some of the aspects I considered when designing the rubric and present it as a "work in progress" with the intention of revising it further according to feedback. I have also attempted to clarify some potentially confusing "attributes" in the context of logos we have looked at so far – but if there is still something you don't understand, don't hesitate to ask in the comments. All forms of feedback and suggestions are welcome and appreciated! Below is a link to the current version of the spreadsheet (0.51) that has seen some changes and additions since this video was recorded. You can make an editable copy for yourself by navigating to File 🡒 Make a Copy. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/... #metalmusic #logo
