About Motorhead

A high-contrast black-and-white emblem: a snarling, stylised skull with exposed fangs and a prominent lower jaw, flanked by large curved tusks or horns. A heavy chain runs through the skull's ring and drapes down, with a pair of crossed femur-style bones behind the skull.

Above the image is an arched, gothic-style wordmark reading "motörhead" (lowercase, with an umlaut over the second o). A ribbon-style banner beneath the skull bears the words "March ör Die" in a matching gothic type. The artwork is hand-drawn, detailed and aggressive in tone.
