The Yes bubble logo,[2] also known simply as the Yes logo, is a logo designed by the English artist Roger Dean for the progressive rock band Yes in 1971.[3] The logo was first used on the Yes album Close to the Edge, when it was first released on 8 September 1972.[4]

The original artwork for the logo is held in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London,[5] and the MAK – Austrian Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna.[6] The logo is listed in the NME's 64 of the Most Beautiful Band Logos.[4]

The earlier Yes logo called the speech bubble logo was first used on Yes' self-titled debut album and last used in 1997 on their Something's Coming: The BBC Recordings 1969–1970 album.
