I would pay good money for a Microdot design book. One with the stories behind the design, like Michael Bierut's book.

Being an oasis fan from 1994 one of the things I remember from those days was the excitement of buying the singles and albulms the covers and oasis logo was so iconic .. some fascinating insights here thanks Brian

This was fantastic. Your presentation style was well paced and felt like you were sat across from us at a table just having a chat. Depth of field on the camera shot was really tasteful too. I'd love to hear you talk about other bands' logos (even ones you didn't design) in a similar fashion.

'Typographical Hero' - Not phrase you hear everyday.

As a graphic designer and an Oasis fan, I enjoyed this very much. Would love to see more of your work.

That logo does something to my brain whenever I look at it. So many great memories.

This was fascinating! Being Oasis mad in secondary school my friends and I would mock up our own versions of the logo in Helvetica Black Italic for stickers/wall posters etc.

Brian Cannon and Microdot, two legendary names I grew up admiring and being inspired by. Great to hear your insights, please do more.

So glad you finally went on and did this. Remember, sir, YOU are also a large part of OASIS history. Very excited to learn more about the stories behind different sleeves and whatnot. Much love from Canada!

This just popped up on my feed, what a great watch, grew up with the band and the artwork is totally classic and went hand in hand with the tunes, cheers!

Brilliant story Brian, Thanks for sharing the history. I will be a BIG fan of yours channel. 👍

I had the white swirl t-shirt. Bought in 1994 after seeing oasis at Glastonbury and then Newcastle Riverside gig. Wish I had a picture of me in it from then. Bought a few 5ft x 3ft subway oasis posters for the house. Great channel Brian 👏

Thank you Brian for sharing your memories! I remember buying my Definitely Maybe CD in a mall music store with my mom in 1994 after hearing Oasis on the radio a few times. It was my very first CD and the first I played in a brand new portable CD player that I had just bought. I have always loved the logo and it now adorns the roof rack of my car. Looking forward to hearing more war stories! All the best! Chris - Greensboro, North Carolina USA

at first, I thought, how does he gonna talk about a single logo for 19 minutes? surely some old footage of the band, fancy transition and whatnot will be tucked in to squeeze duration. oh how happy am I for being wrong. very concise and informative. straight from the man himself. salute. please do more. thank you.

Quality history Brian Cannon. Great stories for all OASIS fans

This is absolute gold. You are a living legend Brian.

All these years later and we are getting answers to all the questions we thought we'd never get answered. Just amazing to hear

Loved this - suggestions for a the next one: the making of the cover of Verve's debut single in Mesnes Park!

I moved on from Graphic Design about 10 years ago but boy this brings memories of the late 90s and why I was so in love with design back then.

Classic logo, the later artwork after 2000 didn't look right at all without it. I remember going into buy Standing on the Shoulder of Giants and not knowing the album sleeve I couldn't find it for ages because the logo was so faint on the cover.

James Hargreaves brought me here. Thanks for living the life I could only dream of. I was 14 when Definitely Maybe came out, and I swear I was the only person in my group of friends that knew Oasis. I only knew them from 120 Minutes on MTV (UK but broadcast satellite in the US); when I saw them play "Supersonic" I thought for sure they would go big in the states. Then Wonderwall happened and life has gone on with Oasis in my heart. Every song on Definitely Maybe conjures a certain memory; my first kiss, blasting Columbia so loud it blew my mom's car speakers. I stole her car occasionally back then and DM was disc 4 in the CD changer. Turned my mom on to Oasis : )

Big YES to more videos about all the artwork, I have always been really interested about it. I couldn’t understand why the logo had to be skewed as they didn’t have the same font Thanks for this video Brian, I love it. I never realised the font for the Union Jack logo is not the same than the final logo.

Thank you for this video. As a designer and especially as a fan of oasis, I was delighted to see this.

Just finished. Utterly fantastic Brian. You're a blessing bro. Thank you for this! Cannot wait for more!

It would be great to have an episode on each of the sleeves and what went behind it 👌

SOOOO good, Brian! Thanks for sharing this history. In '94, my 12 year old self drew this logo on so many school books that I memorized every curve, every angle, every detail. It opened my eyes to design and I subsequently made graphic design my career. You'll always be an inspiration. Cheers for that!

It’s crazy how much they nailed Helvetica. I come back to it time and time again in my designs and use it as a benchmark by which to gauge other fonts. I think I always will. Never gets out of date or dull, pure class.

Who’s the 7 people who gave this a thumbs down? This is gold

To a lifelong Oasis fan like me this is fascinating stuff. I was 15 in 1994 and Oasis became and still are my life. I already knew bits and bobs about the logos etc but this went in-depth and I love that! More please!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Super interesting, saw you on the Chris Moyles show, looking forward to hearing more history!

Well worth the 10 year wait! Thank you Brian!

I found two of my Oasis CDs a few days ago and played them in the car. I always liked that they had their logo on their CDs

Best debute KZfaq video I’ve ever seen

Dear Brian, thank you, I received my Lucky Man print & WTSMG Vinyl (signed) ! Amazing, ordered on a Sunday & delivered from the U.K. to Sydney in only 5 days, Quality, well packaged & protected, all in Mint Condition. The Print's now framed & on my wall, whilst the Albums been spinning non stop on my Turn-table. You're a true Gentleman !

Not just a brilliant history of the logo, but some really epic stories here! Amazing work Brian :-)

I didn’t expect to enjoy this so much. Really interesting. Out of interest did you have an office in Shoreditch back in the 90s? Just subscribed

My teenage years. Right here. Thank you, Brian.

What a fantastic video... incorporating an iconic band with design and history. Loved hearing about the thought process and the internal struggle for perfection.

Thank you Brian for sharing this stories with the Oasis fans, it's amazing to see how the iconic logo came to be.

Really great video. As a fellow graphic designer I can totally relate to the 'not having that font' scenario. I love the original logo and wish they'd kept it in the 2000s.

Very cool video Brian. Looking forward to a video about the Verve artworks. 🙏🏻👍🏻

Epic video, outstanding in fact. Growing up loving the band, the logo, the sleeves, the music. I worshipped the whole band, now it is clear that the whole team behind the scenes were on the same page the whole time. It worked, and it was magical. "Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be" - Noel Gallagher (1997).

Fantastic history of the Oasis brand!

Top job Brian 👏👏

Heard you on Chris Moyles this morning, I thought the interview was fascinating. Thanks for doing the You Tube channel looking forward to hearing your stories .

This episode was brilliant, Brian. It's fascinating to hear the history of the logo and the other tangential stories, like Bonehead being in charge of selling the merchandise and the horror of what happened to your original tape cassette! Thank goodness the music will live forever. I hope enough people subscribe so you make more episodes to enthrall us with more stories.

This is priceless. That logo means so much. It is my youth. Here I am, 42 years old.

This is fantastic. I hope more record cover designers take a cue from this.

Fantastic history lesson Brian, I've always had a fascination for album and single sleeve designs starting with Peter Saville designs for Joy Division & New Order then onto John Squire's Stone Roses covers, Central Station's Happy Mondays to Designer Republic Orb Artwork. Brian you're up there with the best!

Thank you as a music lover and graphic designer I love getting a sneak peek inside your process. And your stories are so good! Thank you.

Absolutely LOVE this video! Cheers! When I was a teenager in the 90s I was SO curious about you and Microdot! I’d love to see breakdowns of every cover you worked on to be honest!

Love your story about the scrapped car. Really looking forward to the next one!

Loved this! Can’t wait for the next video

This is so great, thank you for that!

Amazing

Great job, most entertaining design video I've seen in a while

Fantastic video, really enjoyed this!

Really fascinating stuff, cheers for that Brian.

This is great. Could definitely watch more of these!

Fantastic video Brian. I used to work as a Graphic Designer back in the 90s. No longer now, but brings back memories of fonts and the mention of Quark X Press which still works great. Skewing the Helvetica Font to italics in Blackpool was probably done by using a different programme called Freehand (possibly?). A great insight into the creation of the artwork. Peace and love from Dundee. ✌️

Wow top insight. So precious!!

Awesome 👍🏻😎

Great video!! Cheers.

great! keep them coming. learned a lot. thanks!

Excellent. More!

Awesome Brian! Keep 'em coming.
