SEX PISTOLS & JAMIE PISTOLS REID: PUNK'S VISUAL IDENTITY

Punk erupted onto the British music scene in 1975 with The Sex Pistols.

Artist and activist Jamie Reid shaped the band's iconic visual identity, evoking a raw, ransom-note energy with newspaper-cut lettering. His designs, most famously for Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, Anarchy in the U.K., and God Save the Queen, became defining images of punk rebellion, and Reid's influence still endures today in contemporary fashion and graphic design.
