Rest In Peace Dave King

REST IN PEACE: DAVID KING CRASS STENCIL LOGO GRAPHIC DESIGN ARTIST RIP

We were very bummed to learn this weekend of David King’s passing. Many people think of Black Flag’s logo as one of the most iconic in rock history but you know its really the CRASS symbol.

David King’s visual language was the basis for the real DIY aesthetic, fearless and uncompromising it became adopted globally. We can still remember seeing the CRASS logo stenciled everywhere well into the late 90s.

Here is an unreleased CRASS-inspired shirt / sticker design from Riot Style that Wolf™️ had been working on, from our archives. We may make a few of these available in the future.

RIP DAVID KING
