'In the style of...' Reference material and edits

As I now had my basic pieces to work from, I needed to experiment with colour/texture etc.
I chose to look at the variations the actual metal bands used and somewhat re-create/update these. I tried to keep the colours similar to the originals at this point; as time goes by it may become apparent that changing the colour is needed.





As this point, I am relatively happy with these but certain ones definately need more work (i.e. Metallica inspired ones) and I think some of them that look quite basic need a 'twist' to them, to make them more contemporary and appropriate.

Also, I'm not sure about the Motley crue one - I love the type however, the more I think about it - I'm not sure if the band fits with the others (even though somewhere it said they were in the same category as the other bands) and with more research, it showed that Motley crue used a Lot of typefaces, so it may not be very clear that it was inspired by a metal band - it may look kind of random?
