Help. Which 90s band had stars in their logo?

[Ted Striker]

Is there a chance it might have been a temporary thing like their name stylized for a magazine cover, and not a full-time logo?

I think (the ubiquity of) bands with a permanent consnstent branded logo is a fairly modern thing?

its weird this...i can sort of picture it, its very 90s design style, but cant find an actual band logo...maybe its a mental combination of the two things rather than a real logo

This is basically the whole 'what kid's TV programme used a Memphis pattern intro?' controversy again isn't it?

It's going to have been Five Star isn't it?

I dunno, I also only vaguely remember it

Ah, found the thread.

<but yes, Mandela effect/false/constructed memories etc>

Thanks for all the suggestions. I don't think its any of these but appreciate the help!

I'm no wiser after looking at '90s album covers and festival line-ups but I liked the trip down memory lane

I guess whatever Deee-Lite dotted their i with here is closer to a shamrock or a swastika than a star

Well I think it was a band who were in the NME a lot. 90s era.

But might be an American band who weren’t actually that cool.

Possibly also a band who used Cuban white red and blue colours?

Maybe it was some passing branding, like for Primal Scream in their ill-advised Americana moment?

I've considered this. And also the Manics with their whole Cuban era. We don't think it's this. It's more a band with a really obvious logo, sort of Oasis-like but with red white and blue, and stars instead of the holes in the "o" and "a" and "d" letters etc.

It's a specific era, an NME type 90s act, possibly american and not nececarily cool or anything.

The Chili Peppers have a sort of asterisk in their logo.

yeah not that. Think star in the hole of the letters.

Good shout, stars as the dots on the "i"s - I don't think it's them but in the right area

I suppose the Aphex Twin logo looks a bit star like, this ep has an added starfish too.

 

[skyscraper101]

It's more specifically stars in the holes of the letters. Like the "A" in Groove Armada's logo but like across the whole word - if that makes sense. And possibly with more blue/white/red..

- doesnt fit the brief but 90s bands are percolating

80s

Best example I can give is the "O" in Roxette. Were there any bands who did similar with their logo?

 

[Yossarian]

Royal Trux were around in the '90s - saw them open for Sonic Youth in 1992 - though this logo is apparently from a 2017 tour

If that's not it, that's the closest yet. Thanks!

You've made me remember Starsailor.

And it's not even them.

 

[skyscraper101]

Believe me I've been through every variant of bands with stars in their name, dubstar, starsailor, mazzy star etc etc.
