4. Aerosmith's Winged Steering Wheel Isn't A Steering Wheel
There's a lot more going in rock band Aerosmith's logo than one might think at first glance. It first appeared in a very primitive form on the band's second studio album titled Get Your Wings. The logo was designed by guitarist Raymond Tabano, who was only with the band for a year before being replaced by Brad Whitford but whose aesthetic influence has lasted since its inception. The image features the titular wings of the album on which it first appeared, and features a circle which is commonly interpreted as a steering wheel, but which upon close inspection is merely the end of the wings meeting at the letter A. This design is completely intentional, of course, with the gap in the "A" acting as the steering wheel's star-shaped horn. This combination of wings and steering wheel evokes the rock and roll spirit and freedom associated with the band's music.
