2 tone is a genre of ska music that fused traditional Jamaican ska music with elements of punk rock and new wave music. Its name derives from 2 Tone Records, a record label founded in 1979 by Jerry Dammers of The Specials, and references a desire to transcend and defuse racial tensions in Thatcher-era Britain. Many two-tone groups, such as The Specials, The Selecter, and The Beat featured a mix of black, white, and multiracial people. It was part of the second wave of ska music and it influenced the third wave ska and ska-punk movements.

The logo, based on an early album-cover photo of Peter Tosh, included an added black-and-white check pattern.
