I couldn't help but notice that Dan Black's logo is SORT OF similar to Dan Auerbach's logo. I know it's a popular font style, but I think with people who have such similar names, Black's management should have done a little more. Gotta respect, but hey! Here's to standing out.

I wouldn't really call them logos, more like a font choice on an album.

The truth is that the fonts used on Dan Auerbach's album aren't exclusive or uncommon.
Keep It Hid is written in 'Block Berthold' and Dan Auerbach is a font like 'geometric stencil EF' which are both available on many font websites.

Honestly the Dan Black type-style is actually a little more interesting and has a hand made quality to it.

On a side note, the new BK album 'Brothers' uses one of the most common fonts 'Cooper Black'. But the font's commonplace quality helps in the message of the title.

That being said, who gives a shit about fonts as long as the music is good.
