Grateful Dead Steal Your Face Logo - Iconic Band Symbol & History #3595411 (License: Personal Use)

This emblem, officially known as “Steal Your Face,” was designed by Owsley Stanley and Bob Thomas in 1974 for the band’s live sound system. It combines a stylized human skull with a bold white lightning bolt bisecting a split red-and-blue circular background, symbolizing duality and energy. The logo became synonymous with the Grateful Dead’s counterculture legacy and remains one of the most recognizable symbols in rock history.

Used on album covers (e.g., *Skull and Roses*), merchandise, concert posters, and fan art; it appeals to music historians, collectors, and fans seeking authentic band iconography or visual inspiration for retro/psychedelic design.
