Over the years, Blink-182 have used many logos.

Before the break up (1992 - 2005)[]

Bunny[]

BLINKBUNNY1

Mark Hoppus said this logo was conceived by the ex drummer of Blink-182, Scott Raynor. Mark said that this bunny was created by drawing the Alice in Wonderland bunny in a circle.


Smiley[]

Blink1

To support the new album, Blink-182. The band decided to create an entirely new logo, a "smiley face" with X's for each eye and five arrows on the left side of its face. According to Barker, the Blink-182 logo originated at his clothing line, Famous Stars and Straps. Barker wanted to brand an icon for the band: "It just had to be a cool kind of happy face but I wanted arrows. You know, like The Jam were my favorite band, they always had arrows in their logos and stuff. It was just kind of inspired by pop-art."

Fans have compared the new logo to Nirvana's smiley.

After the Reunion (2009 - 2022)[]

To show a revitalized blink-182, the band decided to turn the logo from plain coloring to chrome while adding a new arrow to the logo.

Bunny[]

Bunny

The band modernized thanks to Travis putting some street culture into the bunny. However, Tom DeLonge views the new design as half elements of Japanese and half elements of street culture.


Tom DeLonge, Honda Civic Tour Interview: "But it's still young and angsty. And I think that's at the end of the day that's really a large part of our band"

After Second Reunion With Tom (2022 - Present)[]

Smiley[]

Blink3

Since Tom rejoined the band they went back to the five arrowed smiley face with a more drawn appearance (first shown on the One More Time posters. Tom later made a tweet joking about adding more arrows as time goes on just to mess with fans.

Bunny[]

The bunny has also been reverted to the earlier bunny appearance, even taking a more punk rock bunny appearance in merch and posters (also VIP ticket holders getting a punk rock blink bunny plushie).

The bunny also plays a prominent part in the music video of "Edging" (the first song released since Tom rejoined the band back in 2023).
