Bad Religion’s logo, also known as the Crossbuster, is a playful representation of a Christian cross with a bold red slash through it. According to Greg Graffin, the band’s lead singer, they have never regretted choosing this name and logo. They see the Crossbuster as a fun way to say “no parking for Christianity here.” It established them as a band that thinks for itself and creates music with a philosophical edge. It also helped them avoid dealing with overly critical people who can’t handle unconventional music. In short, it gave them the freedom to do whatever they wanted. The logo was actually created by Brett in 1989. Greg has mentioned that he wishes it wasn’t so offensive to some people, as he believes others could benefit from the ideas behind it. However, they also chose it specifically to provoke and annoy certain individuals. (Reference: Anarchy Evolution, 2010)
