Many musicians take pride in their image and sense of style. The look of their instrument is one of the most crucial components of that image. For drummers, a custom bass drum shield logo is one very stylish way they can show off their personality. Plus, it can create a powerful image for the world to see.
History Of The Bass Drum Shield Logo
The bass drum shield logo was used by popular drummers dating back as far as the 1920’s. This design features the initials of the drummer outlined by a shield or crest insignia and then set against a long vertical stripe. This was originally done by hand-inking the design onto the calfskin drumhead itself.
Legends such as jazz drummers Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa were some of the first to use the shield logo and in turn set the trend for countless others. Today the bass drum shield logo evokes a classic, vintage look and harkens back to the golden age of swing.
Vintage Logos’ Bass Drum Shield Logo
For drummers that are looking to add the shield logo look to their own drum kit, Vintage Logos offers the perfect solution: the custom bass drum shield logo! We have over 20 years of experience and this is our original core product, so we deliver only the best in style & quality.
We offer two different buying options for the shield logo: the self-application kit and the Custom Shield Drum Head.
With the former, you’d apply to the drumhead just like a sticker. The logo is made out of premium grade vinyl and appears to look painted on because no backgrounds or clear materials are used.
With the latter, we professionally adhere the logo for you. Choose from a variety of Remo and Aquarian drum heads available in many sizes and types. For a more vintage look, we also offer Remo Fiberskyn drumheads in 20″, 22″ and 24″sizes. To make your drumhead complete, you have the option to add a bass drum port.
The design and customization process is very straightforward; in fact, you can do it yourself on our easy-to-use webpage! This page helps you select each of the design elements of your custom logo, walking you through step-by-step. Each of these steps are presented with simple and clear visuals, so the process is quick and stress-free.

To start, you have the option to select from 15 different shield shapes (including 4 new ones!) and 5 different types of fonts. Then you choose from 7 different logo sizes and 4 different colors. This is, of course, in addition to personalizing it with your own initials.
