Metallica

==1983–1996==
This logo was designed by James Hetfield and it was used from Kill 'Em All (1983) to Metallica (1991). It also had a 3D variant being used on Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets and Metallica (1991). This is currently being used as the secondary logo for some of their official merchandises alongside the 2008-present logo and its 2016 variant.
==1996–2003==
This was used from Load (1996) to a CD single for I Disappear.
==2003–2008==
This logo was used during the St. Anger era, but it didn't appear on the album cover of the standard variant of the album but some other versions of that album appeared alongside the "St. Anger" logo underneath the 2003 Metallica logo. Eventually, the logo appeared on their release of The Videos 1989–2004 (2006).
==2008–present==
This logo was designed by Turner Duckworth and it is currently being used since the launch of Death Magnetic (2008) album. The logo resembles the iconic 1983-1996 logo with some tweaks to its font. Also, the "Glitch" variant was introduced for use on their album Hardwired... To Self-Destruct (2016).
