This metal logo taught me Latin

  • An unreadable metal logo with five letters would normally be a walk in the park... unless the letters aren't exactly there in the first place. And especially not if it's in Latin. This logo is reminiscent of modern cybersigilism and is almost entirely symmetrical, save for a couple of small details that gave me nothing more than hints as to what and where the letters are. It is distinct from the typical "metal logo" aesthetic, but shares some similarities in style with that of Krallice (of the other logos I have looked at so far). Certainly not a challenge to be met by the faint of heart.
    This logo was submitted by a viewer on Instagram. If there's a logo that you want me to take a look at, comment the band's name below and I'll consider it for a future episode!
    This footage was recorded in anticipation of episode 28 of Deciphering Metal Logos to be released on Instagram. DML, for short, is part of an ongoing series in which I attempt to accurately identify all of the letters in metal band logos - often with some guidance from the original designer.
    Logo Designer: Einar Fredriksen

      That is something I would like to do in the future! I've also thought about streaming my metal logo design process, and that's something that a lot of my Instagram followers seemed to be interested in.
      The problem right now is that my desktop computer broke and I'm currently working off of my laptop... which is not powerful enough to handle a streaming setup. As soon as I can afford it I'll get a new desktop.

    7:05 remember though, we write "th" because that was a latin approximation of a greek letter, but i guess if you knew this was a native latin word then that would be fine

    ...I hate that I actually clocked "Odium" after just seeing an O and a M and then knowing that it is 5 letters and it looking black metal-ish - and when I then heard that it is supposed to be latin, I was practically sure. One of the few latin words I happen to know because of a song by the band Naglfar named Odium Generis Humani - meaning "hatred for the human race"... Naglfar are a (melodic) Black Metal band, so that tracks.
