Band Visualization - Photoshop Contest [22 entries]

Winning entry, with a score of:

61.2%

Contest goal:

Ever wondered what the members of your favorite music band were thinking when they had to choose a name for their group? For example Radiohead or Arctic Monkeys? Can you even picture that? Maybe somebody with a radio instead of a head walking in the streets? Monkeys living at the North Pole?

These were just some examples, of course there are many many more creative band names. and your goal in this contest is to pick a band and visualize the name of it. In theory you can pick any band you want, but the ones with weirder names are funnier of course.

One last thing, it has to be a real band (be it from the past or present), no imaginary bands. Good luck!

Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

jawshoewhah: Dobvdn: A lot of those band names are funny, some ridiculous and well, there's even a couple more familiar mainstream bands. I almost want to start chopping again, this is such a fun idea. ( 5 years and 3411 days ago )

First I want to apologize to the mod... oops there's a lot of sources ;)

There's loads of bandnames in this entry, can you find them all? I'll post the link with all the bandnames I've put in as a comment when the contest is finished.

To be more accurate I've put 33 bands inthere but maybe you can find more. Furthermore there's 2 "cheats". Some images - groups of images can represent more bands.

More links added in the SBS. (5 years and 3406 days ago)

GREAT IDEA AUTHOR!!!!! SUPER DUPER FUN!!!!

downoffthedragon says:

Kiss...

downoffthedragon says:

Took me a loooooong minute, but I think I GOT it!!!! "Rage Against the Machine!!!!!" Great idea!!!!

wazowski says:

Ahhhh, Rage Against The Machine! Very good indeed! Kiss also, yes. And those two cars are The Cars, I guess. And Heart maybe too? There Ã¬s a band called Apple Eyes, but no clue if it's this one...Deep Purple in the upper left corner? 50 Cent...King (80s band)... Keep on thinking. Good luck!

author says:

I'm impressed by some answers and some are really NOT what I intended

Waz I love "Venetian Car Crash" as a band name, that one is wrong for sure! Hehehe ...and the apples... they are not apples

erikuri says:

Black Eyed Peas! And Queen...

DanLundberg says:

Totally awesome idea, but I wish the image could exist alone as an odd collection of artifacts even if one didn''t know they actually represented band names. For example, the bomb looks like a flat thing on top of the pic rather than a 3D object sitting on the countertop. And what is the "blah blah blah" written on? Plus the uniform spacing of elements across the image is kind of boring.

CountRushmore says:

I spy with my little eye...

...
the greatest band of all times,
depicted with two of my own shots
and strangely overlooked by all the rest....

THE BEATLES !

author says:

So far you all have found 19 out of 33... and welcome to PXLEyes CountRushmore, offcourse they are the Beatles!

Dan relax, it's just a fun entry and it's a collage. The "blah blah blah" is for you to find out, don't ask me
