Dead Kennedys DK Logo Heavy Duty Belt Buckle
The coolest heavy duty DK's belt buckle ever! Excellent look and finish, very cool product. A must for all those who want to be "Uber Alles" their friends!
The original logo was created by Winston Smith. He later contributed artwork for the covers of In God We Trust, Inc., Plastic Surgery Disasters, Frankenchrist, Bedtime for Democracy, Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death, the back cover of the "Kill the Poor" single and the Alternative Tentacles logo.
When asked about the "DK" logo in an interview, Jello Biafra explained, "...I wanted to make sure it was something simple and easy to spray-paint so people would graffiti it all over the place, and then I showed it to Winston Smith.
He played around with it, came back with a bunch of designs that had the circle and slightly 3-D looking letters and he had ones with different patterns behind it.
I liked the one with bricks, but ultimately I thought simple red behind it was the boldest and the best."
