...and all other illegible black metal scrawls.
Always liked this one, so bold and in the black and yellow it's like a hazardous materials warning: "This truck contains Rob Flynn saying OH MY GODDDDDDDDD"

This is a bit like trying to choose the best scene in the Star Wars Prequels.
Or the best bike in Toys'r'us
Or...
you get the idea.

Motorhead +1.
Coyote wins this round easy.
[img]

Motorhead is a good one
I've always liked the simplicity of the Metallica logo, but do have a fondness for the many incarnations of Molly

.
always my absolutely favourite

Loved this as a kid, its totally reversible either way up.
and no, it probably doesnt even get close to the metal tag but tough. 😉
Got to be Snaggletooth, in one of his incarnations. I really love the Black Flag logo, especially as it took me so long to realise it is actually just a picture of a black flag, but they aren't really metal.

Yeah, I know Black Flag aren't metal, but it is the best band logo. Ramones is up there for me.
sticking to my "not really metal" theme, how about:

Personally, I don't think you can beat the whole Crass iconography.

Man, these are all totally awful...

Bonus points for a logo that can be incorporated into a metal guitar design, also awful;

Hmmm... a touch of "borrowing" going on there?

Coyote is right.
Most 'metal' logos are ghastly, but Black Flag, who are a rock band, (allowed in the thread description), really do have the best logo. It works even without the type, just the four black rectangles.
As shown on the top tube of my old Hummer:

philtricklebank just reminded me how much I used to love The Almighty
proper f***ing rock mutha .....
Donington Monster of Rock 1988 / 1990 oh the memories.. might grow my
hair back and go down Bogiez
Ah yes, the Almighty, one of the best live bands i've ever seen.
Motörhead, Ramones or Black Flag? Hmm
Absolutely black flag.
[img] 
[/img]
Great band,on tour with the blackout album from 1989, might have to indulge myself only 24 years since I last saw them
Are we still discussing this?

a merciful release eh?

or perhaps this?

Mighty - good call. Beautifully dynamic logo from SoM.
Aye - there is something pleasing about it isn't there.
OK. If we are venturing away from rock / metal then how about one of the most iconic post-punk icons?

******' awesome band too!
Agree that the Black Flag one is the only good logo. Never been a fan of the band mind.
Conversely, I love a bit of Motorhead, but their logo thing is truly terrible...
how can you keep calm listening to Motorhead?..
Can someone stick up the Witchfinder General logo for me please?
and Pentagram.
thank yow
I've looked at my vinyl and CD collection (thats a phrase that I'd happily punch meself for saying) and the Black Flag logo is still winning, despite not being a metal band.

Again, not strictly 'metal' but probably the most tattoo friendly band logo of all time.

No, it's not rock.
**** your rules.
😉
Another +1 for Coyote.
