Dark Horse Records

Dark Horse Records is an independent record label founded by former Beatle George Harrison in 1974. In 2020, Harrison’s son Dhani Harrison and David Zonshine reactivated the label, making available its back catalog and becoming the new home of Yusaf Cat Stevens, Steve Perry, Billy Idol, Joe Strummer, and other artists. For a company name, Harrison used the title of a song he had written in 1973, "Dark Horse." The inspiration for the Dark Horse Records logo came from a label on a tin that Harrison found during a trip to India. The logo centers the seven-headed horse Uchchaisravas, a figure in Indian art and mythology.
