Meaning and history
2001 — 2005
The logo, used by Nickelback until 2005, was designed in 2001. It featured a custom black logotype in the uppercase, with the letter “B” mirrored. The bold black letters of a sans-serif typeface boasted traditional solid shapes, though had their texture and pattern uneven, and some of the bars’ ends slightly torn. This was what made the whole badge very special along with the turned “B”.
2005 — Today
The band’s name, Nickelback, tells a lot about its musicians and their values. The world is synonymous with defense and support. But the band’s history says the name was given by Mike Kroeger, who worked in Starbucks and called the change “a nickel”.
The Nickelback logo is a powerful and confident wordmark in all-caps. The lettering is executed in a sans-serif font, which is similar to Decrepit, designed by Enigma Fonts.
The clear and neat lines of bold wordmark make the logo strong and bright, especially with its monochrome palette. The uneven color of the letters makes the logo look alive and dynamic. You can imagine how the letters disappear and appear again when looking at it.
The Nickelback logo is a perfect example of minimalist and stylish visual identity, perfectly reflecting the band’s music genre and vision.
