ABBA

As the band's name is an acronym for the two couples in the group -- Agnetha & Björn, and Benny & Anni-Frid -- Swedish designer Rune Söderqvist wanted the two B's to face each of their respective partner A's.

Hmmm, Kara.

"Abba's pretty frickin lame if you ask me"

No one asked you.

"oh yeah and you're gonna tell me that people who actually put effort into their logos are behind and/or missing on this list? oooh yeah Im a freakin genius I put a backwards B next to a B between a couple A's. Disco sucks"

It's still a very famous logo... quit hating.

It's just classic, that's why it's on the list. And I totally agree, where are Styx, Def Leppard and other great logos?

"2. You have ABBA, but not Chicago, Journey, or STYX. What, are you on crack, or just don't really know good music!?!?!?"

I agree with you but it's not a list about the music, it's about the logos.

"3. ABBA Rocks!!!

One of the BEST logos in music history...and bands too. Should have been in Top 5...also Carpenters, Heart, Chicago, Blondie, Def Leppard, Queen, .....why are there so many "no name" bands who are hardly even known on this list???
Looks like an 80's CBGB's club list of "where are they now"..."

COME ON, one of the best logos in music history? The Carpenters and Blondie in the top 5??? Why is fancy lettering so awesome? I don't think you understand this list.
