Nirvana Merch The smiley face logo on Nirvana merch has sparked legal disputes in recent years. Nirvana, the band, and their record label, Geffen, have argued over who should own the design rights. The answer isn't entirely clear.

The smiley face logo has become one of the most recognizable logos in music. The smiley face logo has been used on a variety of Nirvana merchandise for decades. The band, which came from Seattle, became one of the biggest acts in the world during the '90s. Their second album sold more than a million copies and they became an international phenomenon. Fans bought a lot of Nirvana merchandise, including t-shirts with the band's smiley face logo and other slogans.

The smiley face logo was designed by Kurt Cobain and first appeared on a Nirvana album flyer in 1991. The smiley face was inspired by a marquee at a Seattle strip club, which featured a terrible pun. The logo eventually became the signature image of the band, a ubiquitous icon for Nirvana merchandise.
