Collector's Corner #21

This was an early version of the Traveling Deengelburys logo.

This design was drawn by Jason, aka Doubletree Deengelbury, the rhythm guitarist. There are a few elements of this design that made it into the final design:

• The circle that the chicken is standing on ended up being the world in the final design. But in this design there is a small sign that says "world-touring", so that could have been what inspired the change of the circle to the globe.


• The banners that say Traveling Deengelburys were kept in the final design.


• The singing chicken was changed to an eagle spreading its wings in the final design.

Things that did not make it to the final design:

• The sword. This probably came from the fact that many of the band often played Dungeons & Dragons after school and on weekends.


• The 8 and 9 that appear between the two banners. This stood for the year, 1989.


• The storm clouds and lightning bolts.


• The background birds behind the singing chicken.

So this picture shows one of the evolutionary steps the Traveling Deengelbury logo took on its journey to final form. This now resides in the Traveling Deengelbury Wing of the Metal XOR Studio Museum next to the empty vaults reserved for cryogenically frozen band members.
