4. Grateful Dead
The Dead’s famous “Steal Your Face” logo, designed by longtime band consort Bob Thomas, led us to believe that the band members themselves were practicing metal heads and/or Satanists. Imagine our surprise, then, when Emily Deutsch played us “Sugar Magnolia” in seventh grade and clued us into the band’s messages of peace, love and better living through pharmaceutical enhancement. The Dead’s design minions deserve some props for their happy-dancing-bears artwork as well.
