About Anthrax

A bold, angular red wordmark set against a solid black background. The letters form a tightly kerned, geometric custom logotype with sharp points, extended strokes and intersecting lines—particularly noticeable in the long horizontal bar across the top of the "T" that continues into surrounding letters and the exaggerated diagonal terminals on the "A"s and "X".

The overall impression is aggressive and compact: all characters are the same height and the letterforms are stylized rather than standard type, creating a cohesive, high-contrast emblem-like wordmark typical of heavy metal band logos.

Shapes: wordmark angular letterforms horizontal bar diagonal terminals

Style: heavy metal bold angular retro 1980s high-contrast

Text in logo: ANTHRAX

Aggression, energy and a metal/rock music aesthetic (conveyed by sharp, jagged letterforms and high contrast).
