Yes Logo, 1998

The classic Yes logo was first reproduced in monochrome on the album cover for Close to the Edge. In 1973, it was reproduced again in these colors for a second album cover, Tales From Topographic Oceans. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London acquired both the original pencil drawings and the original color versions for their permanent collection. Yes was one of the first bands to have a visual identity that successfully tied in with the band and their image.
