Photography and Logo Analysis

Bad Pollyanna
Overall, Bad Pollyanna have a unique look with their most recognisable feature being the intense stares achieved by make up and contact lenses.

In the photo, the lead singer stands out as a main part of the band by using bright colours, such as, her vibrant pink hair and purple clothing. She stands out as the other members are dressed in black, making the vibrant pink and purple become eye catching. Along with this, so not to distract from the band members, the background is simple, however, it is given a Gothic appearance by using what appears to be a faded out image of some kind of stone architecture overlaid on to a simplistic grey backing.

The Bad Pollyanna logo is intricately designed with the use of roses and thorns. The roses could symbolise that although beautiful, there is a danger beneath. However, the way the thorns are twisted, it reminds me of Sleeping Beauty when she was trapped behind the thorns, this gives the band a theme of fairytales.
Along with this, the text of the logo is done using a serif font which has been distorted slightly to fit the bed of thorns.

Ashestoangels
The main things that stands out in this image is the stark contrast of what appears to be blood on white. This is almost zombie like or vampiric as it implies the eating or drinking of something living and so it creates an uncomfortable feeling to look at.

To show who is the main person/lead singer, they have placed the lead at the front so he is closer to you in the photo. However, the use of steps to sit on makes it easier to see each member so that no band member goes unseen as each member is important.

As of clothing, each member is dressed in the same white t-shirt and black jeans, making them noticeably part of the same band.

The Ashestoangels logo is simplistic and written in a serif font, however, a unique look is given to the logo by it's use of erosion on each letter.
The logo is easily recognisable in it's simplicity and due to how common serif fonts are, the logo will become recognisable each time a serif font is used.

Her Dark Embrace
The band, overall, have a very simple appearance and don't seem to use any particular props or items of clothing, therefore not making anything in the photo stand out.

The photo, although uninteresting in appearance, takes on a Gothic look due to the use of black which is a stereotypical Goth colour. Along with this, the Gothic stereotype is added to by their dark facial expressions, this is effective as a stereotypical Goth isn't often painted as excitable or grinning.

The Her Dark Embrace logo is similar to that of Ashestoangels in it's use of eroded text and simple black and white colours. However, unlike the previous bands, Her Dark Embrace have a simple logo to go with their main one which can make the band more easily recognisable each time that simple logo/image is in view. To make sure the simple logo is associated with the main one, it has been faded out and put in behind the text, this gives the main logo an, overall, more interesting look.

Fearless Vampire Killers
It is immediately made obvious by the unique appearance that this band have gone for a more theatrical look, using heavy make up and interesting poses. The aim of this photo was to appear zombie like which has been achieved by using fake blood, overdramatic deathly make up and 'hungry' zombie like expressions.

This photo has been positioned in almost the same way that the image of Her Dark Embrace has been however, it automatically becomes more interesting simply by using different poses and contrasting colours.

Along with this, the simple black background means that no attention is drawn away from the band members and it also means that all other colours, such as reds and whites, stands out more due to the high contrast in colours.

Unlike the other logos, Fearless Vampire Killers have a more vibrantly coloured logo, using red to create an eye catching effect. This means that if posters were to be put up with their name, people would be more drawn to look at the posters as their eyes have been caught by the vibrant red which could lead to more band recognition.
To give the font a more interesting look, the bottom of the logo has been cut around what appears to be a city scape. This links with their band as their band and music are based on the novel Ruple and Evelyn and therefore, the city scape could be Grandomina, the place where the novel is based.

Fearless Vampire Killers also have a simple logo which is easily recognisable. I feel it is a good idea to have a small logo as it is easier to put everywhere and creates recognition of the band more easily without having to see the band name.
This small logo also fits with the band as it fits their name Fearless Vampire Killers. This is because the logo almost appears to be two fang like puncture wounds and then below, what looks like a pair of vampire fangs.

Black Veil Brides
Overall, this image is Gothic in appearance due to the dark greyscale tones. This creates a Gothic effect as you are unlikely to see vibrant colours in a Gothic stereotype. The image also takes on a style of rock as each member is wearing a leather jacket which is stereotypical in rock style. As each member is wearing a leather jacket, they have also been made to appear more obviously as part of the same band.
Although there is no obvious colouring to show who is the main member, the lighting illuminates the man in the middle, making him stand out in a subtle way. The background also helps as it makes each of the band members stand out more. The use of contrast in pale skin and black background creates a somewhat vampiric effect and makes the band members stand out.

Along with this, each member has a very intense facial expression, as though they are giving you a hard stare which almost intimidates you. This is effective as it makes the band seem powerful.

The logo for Black Veil Brides fits with the common colour scheme of black and white.
This logo is also simple as the text is a serif font with only a few subtle distortions such as that of the 'DE' in Brides. 
Much like the two previous bands, BVB also have their own simplistic logo which has been cleverly turned into a pentagram/star.
