Oasis - The Story Behind The Iconic Logo

The Oasis reunion has been confirmed. After 16 years of feuding between Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher, the brothers have put their differences aside for Oasis Live '25 Tour. When the monumental Machester band get back together it's sure to be incredible there will also probably be a lot of Oasis Decca Box Logo t-shirt floating about, just like there was in the 90's when Oasis first arrived on the scene.

In this video we go over the story of how the timeless Oasis logo came about. We cover the early days when Noel was a roadie for another iconic Manchester band, The Inspiral Carpets. How that led him to meet Liverpool Band The Real People and in turn get connected to Tony French, who create their first ever demo cover, for the Live Demonstration Tape. And also meet award winning graphic designer and art director Brian Cannon who is the founder of Microdot. Brian's inspirations, from The Rolling Stones number 2 album, Joseph Muller Brockman, Adidas and how his conceptual album covers with lots of hidden meaning lead to the creation of the Oasis Decca Logo.

Unexpected! Looking forward to this one.

[corneliousism]

You’re good at this, a born entertainer. I see ya plan, work the topics outside of rollerblading and funnel people unaware of how great it is, into rollerblading. 👊🏼

[pwxysmi]

Wasn't so sure about this one but I really enjoyed it. I think anything that was relevant during blading's heyday is fair game for this channel.

[dlukewhitney]

Absolutely loved this. Music plays a huge part in rollerblading culture, and I love the idea of mixing it in. This was such a cool and refreshing idea. Hope to see more videos like this in the future. ❤

[miguelibanez]

Yo Tom this is great dude! Loved all the details about the fonts, well researched

[HJJallday]

Yes Tom, unexpected but welcomed! Hopefully more music content can bring more eyes over to the banging blading bants 👀

[amasvodka]

Great insight into graphic design and useful for anyone looking to start a skate brand.

[rollforever_]

If diversification is necessary to help fund the blading content I’m all for it. I would rather see this channel branch out into new topics than to see it come to an end.

[FR-AN]

Sound lecture in design history mate! More of a Blur fan meself, but would defo go to a reunion show if they make it across the Atlantic and this far south, might rock a shirt with the logo. Spotty dog!

[Zig]

Cool vid mate. Not my bag but can’t deny there success.

[paulmoulier]

Love to see topics outside of our niche, keep at it Mate! 🫡

[carolinebedford]

I read somewhere that Noel & Liam kept on seeing the word Oasis for example taxi firms called Oasis & such like.

[fumurph]

Well done dude. If blading won't pay you enough to make a living from vids, I reckon the wider public will.

[BattleBecause]

Will you make a video about that other logo they used in the 2000s. It wasn't as good. 😅

[masterazlan]

Pretty bad things happen to all music industry When online phenomenon arrives in includin' this..ha4..Peace!

[Lorennypsum]
