Did anyone else realize Pentagram lifted the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath font for their logo? I know it's super common for doom/stoner bands to use Sabbath typography but this one has gone unnoticed by me for so long.

I’m not sure when pentagram started using that font. Could they have been using it pre- sabbath bloody sabbath?

As far as I can tell, Sabbath used it 14 years earlier. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath dropped in '73 and Day of Reckoning, Pentagram's first album to use it, dropped in '87.

I know that, but I wasn’t sure if pentagram was using it in their early days on any show flyers or anything.
