LPLStaff Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 In celebration of 'Minutes to Midnight' turning 14, Frank Maddocks posted on Instagram, "May 14, 2007 - Linkin Park Minutes to Midnight Icon design. The band asked me develop a logo that was iconic, memorable and easy to render. A simplistic almost punk approach. Broken down to basic elements. A bit of the exploration and development shown here." He included a lengthy series of logos that he went through in presumably late 2006 or early 2007 before he reached the final, signature "circle LP logo" that we all know. In related news, Linkin Park has uploaded the 40 minute "Making of MTM" DVD on YouTube for the first time. Still no word on the infamous "Webster Hall" footage that was shown in theaters of the band making the album, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinez Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Question to people who have the MTM MVI - is your making of MTM video also has an ad that is at 38:30 - 38:45? Because I have original EU edition and I don't have that ad, the whole making of MTM on my MVI has a length 39:42. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharosEigengrau Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Very last one reminds me of the symbol used for Deftones' "Diamond Eyes". Maddocks is credited on design for DE, I wonder if he ended up reusing the concept from MTM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subs Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 iconic logo, and i loved how it was altered each album. Love the ATS one, and love the stripped back OML one. In fact i think OML had some of the best font design in an LP album. Just gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coizu Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 The logo they went with definitely aged way better than most of the other ideas. Some of them look even older than 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RYG4R Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 That red LP logo with inverted "P" will always the best linkin park logo. that is more iconic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
