Members echodeluxe Posted May 20, 2008 Members Share Posted May 20, 2008 its a cherub. fro the "Hierarchy of a Angels" wiki:"The Cherubim (singular "Cherub") are beyond the throne of God; they are the guardians of light and of the stars. It is believed that, although they are removed from man's plane of reality, the divine light that they filter down from Heaven still touches the lives of living things.They have four faces: one of a man, ox, lion, and eagle. The ox-face is considered the "true face", as later on in Ezekiel the ox's face is called a cherub's face (Chapter 10). They have eight conjoined wings covered with eyes, and they have ox's feet.Cherubim are considered the elect beings for the purpose of protection. Cherubim guard the way to the tree of life in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:24) and the throne of God (Ezekiel 28:14-16).[citation needed]Their rank among angels is uncertain but they are always categorized in the First Sphere. Some believe them to be an order or class of angels; others hold them to be a class of heavenly beings higher than angels. Cherubim are said to have perfect knowledge of God, surpassed only by the love of the Seraphim.The Cherubim are mentioned in Genesis 3:24 [4]; Ezekiel 10:17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DADGADammit Posted May 20, 2008 Members Share Posted May 20, 2008 its definitely not Medusa, just some stoned hippie drawing is my guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty Belle Posted May 20, 2008 Members Share Posted May 20, 2008 It might not look like it, but... It is definitely 100% a ram's head. Unless EHX is lying. They call it their ram's head logo. What it means, though, is a mystery. its actually not a rams head,EH said this once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Snufkino Posted May 20, 2008 Members Share Posted May 20, 2008 Plus it looks nothing like a Ram...on account of it's human features. Green Man is more plausible as fact. On account of the leaves and human face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tommyld Posted May 20, 2008 Members Share Posted May 20, 2008 its actually not a rams head,EH said this once.Weird, because they have listed products for sale and mentioned their famous "ramshead logo." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GraphicFuzz Posted May 21, 2008 Members Share Posted May 21, 2008 The logo is called the Ram's Head. Whether it looks like one or not is another story. It's been around since the late sixties. It was painted by an artist friend of Mike Matthews. He just liked it and started using it as the company's logo. Or so I've been told.

Members SonicVI Posted May 21, 2008 Members Share Posted May 21, 2008 Maybe Mike Matthews got sick of people asking him what it was so he rammed his head against the wall in aggravation and after coming to said, "rams head" Seriously though, there was an interview on the web somewhere with Mike, probably on The EH Man's site, about how it was just a drawing a friend of his did that he liked.

Members attic Posted May 21, 2008 Members Share Posted May 21, 2008 I just got an e-mail back from EHX and apparently GraphicFuzz heard right... "The logo is commonly referred to as a Ram's Head. The logo is actually a painting that was done by an artist friend of Mike Matthews in the 60's. Mike thought it would make an interesting logo for the Electro-Harmonix products." The exact words out of the mail. I left the rest of the email out, since it's all about how I'm such a great musician, and that they're so proud that I play with their pedals. Also a business proposal that I have to do a commercial for them, and in exchange I get every EHX pedal available for free. I just left that part out. I'd like to stay modest.

Members Ben Co. Posted May 21, 2008 Members Share Posted May 21, 2008 "The logo is commonly referred to as a Ram's Head." Right... The logo is actually a painting that was done by an artist friend of Mike Matthews in the 60's. Mike thought it would make an interesting logo for the Electro-Harmonix products.And that's great, but what was the painting supposed to be? I think that's the question. It's referred to as the Ram's Head, even though it isn't a ram's head, so what actually is it? What was the artist trying to paint / draw? An organic man of leaves? A Hobbit? Medusa? A May Queen peeking through a hedgerow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WarofGhosts Posted May 21, 2008 Members Share Posted May 21, 2008 I've always loved the EHX logo. It's instantly recognizable, and definitely retro-cool. I've seriously considered getting it inked on me on the past, but I think I'm getting past the tattoo prime. I have it on my right hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're handing out those offers like candy nowadays. Anything to get their name out I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response, and your obvious modesty . That sounds like a cool offer, that I would definitely go for. How do you get EHX to ask you to do commercials for them?
