Paramore is a music band from the USA which was created in 2004 and performs a rock style. The band’s vocalist, Hayley Williams, was 15 when the group was formed. Paramore earned the Grammy award for the best rock song in 2015, as well as numerous MTV Awards.
The band’s name, Paramore, was derived from the “paramour”, which means “a secret lover”. There is also a legend, that Paramore was the maiden name of the band’s bassist mother.
During its history, the band changed its logo a few times, the only thing that remained untouched was the logo’s color scheme — the monochrome. This color palette makes the logo look stylish and modern on any background and cover.
The first Paramore logo was designed with the group creation in 2004. It was composed of a simple black wordmark on a white background. The lettering in all lowercase featured Neue Helvetica Thin font. It was a minimalist and elegant logo, with fine lines of the letters, evoking a sense of sophistication and style.
This logo can be seen on two albums’ covers — the band’s first All We Know Is Falling and Brand New Eyes.
In 2013 the Paramore logotype was rewritten in a custom handwritten font with thin black lines, rounded contours of most characters and the letter “E” formed by just three horizontal bars. This badge stayed with the band for four years.
The redesign of 2017 has refined the black logotype of the Paramore band, introducing a new version with the uppercase sans-serif inscription set in a bold but narrowed typeface with each letter like “hanging” above the line diagonally.
