That's a great question. Without surfing the net, I have no idea.  But, if I cheat, here's what I came across: "Any respectable shortlist of rock & roll’s most iconic band logos would have to include The Doors’ logo. The simple, bold geometric shapes; the reflective double-O’s; the tiny but essential psychedelic THE. That simple one-color logo is by now one of the most recognizable images in rock history. We found one forum thread on TheDoors.com where a poster stated 'I’m pretty sure it was designed by the Art department at Elektra in New York, which was headed by Bill Harvey at the time.' Another poster noted the similarities between the lettering used for The Doors and Elektra Records’s E logo from the same time period. It seems likely that the same creative team, headed by Bill Harvey, developed both logos. We came across a brief biography of Bill Harvey on Answers.com (a Wikipedia search came up empty). In it, we learned that in the 60s, independent folk/rock label Elektra was highly revered for the inventive, high-quality graphic design of its LP sleeves.

There's something about the logo... every time you see it, that instant your brain recognises it, the heart skipping a beat... what's gonna happen?!

Slightly related... it gets to me when I see the Doors in print, rather than The Doors. There's a THE in the logo... they're The Doors! Aaaarrrggghhhh!!!
