Wu-Tang Clan's Logo Is Indeed Quite Awesome


"The Wu-Tang W isn't just the most iconic hio-hop artist logo of the past 20 years, it's also proven to be the most alphabetically versatile. Depending on the Wu swordsman for whom it requires use, we've seen the W take turns as a "G" for GZA, and "M" for Method Man, and "M" and "K" for Master Killa, an admittedly rather awkward "INS" and "E" for Inspectah Deck, even a "U" for U-God. Yes, even U-God gets his own specialized version of the Wu-Tang symbol. If that's not what you call a logo that goes above and beyond the call of duty, we don't know what is."
Complex names the Wu-Tang W no. 2 on its list of "50 Greatest Rap Logos." I gotta think that if they'd seen the sunglasses RZA wore at Glastonbury last week, they would have given it the top spot.

Until Complex magazine can show me how to do the Public Enemy logo hand gesture, the Wu is number 1.

It's so awesome, it is in fact, nothin' to fuck with.

They overlooked The Coup, which to me has basically the perfect rap logo: a profiled black woman with a shotgun and a baby, all superimposed over a communist star.
