Known as the “Lord of the Logos,” Christophe Szpajdel is a Belgian-born artist whose intricate black metal logos have become iconic within extreme music subcultures. With a background in forestry and natural science, his calligraphic creations fuse organic, decaying forms with sharp-edged symbology. Szpajdel’s prolific output—spanning thousands of logos—has shaped the visual identity of countless underground and mainstream bands alike, including Emperor, Moonspell, and even mainstream acts like Rihanna. His work bridges metal aesthetics with art nouveau and art deco influences, positioning him as a singular force in graphic subculture. A true monograph in motion.
