The inspiration for the Dark Horse logo came from a label on a tin box Harrison saw on one of his many trips to India.

The logo features the seven-headed horse Uchchaisravas, a common figure in Indian art and mythology. Harrison was arguably a dark horse in seeking a solo career after having been overshadowed among The Beatles by Lennon and McCartney, despite his creating several of the band's more popular later songs (such as "Here Comes the Sun" and "Something"), and being the first ex-Beatle with a number-one ranked solo album and single (All Things Must Pass and "My Sweet Lord" in 1970).
