The energy around the EDM scene in recent years has seen a surge in more mainstream recognition for the industry's leading artists.
Far from disco DJs playing to birthday and wedding crowds, these musicians are mixing tunes to massive audiences all around the world.
Their following and reach has made them headline stars, commanding millions of dollars from record sales, gigs, and high profile endorsements, as proved by the "Electronic Cash Kings 2015" list released by American business magazine Forbes.
And key to their success is ensuring they display the right branding and profile, much of which comes from the artwork that accompanies their music.
The top ranking DJs have logos and insignias that not only reflective of their personality, but also their musical style. The logos and music festival posters are immediately recognizable and can more often than not be found hanging in nightclubs or on billboards.
The combination of logomarks and logotypes needs to be relevant for the DJ, which is why many will spend time creating the right look and feel. They are classy, inspiring, and crucially, all on trend.
