It can be difficult to differentiate between a US Thrash band and a German one; perhaps the only clue is that US Thrash logos are more likely to have hints or elements of symmetry (because Americans love symmetry in all things except the balance of power) and interconnectedness to them. Come to think of it, they may also have more likelihood of having an outline or “halo” surrounding the letters.
