Whenever a show is advertised, their logo show up. Sometimes it's a picture, or a fancy way of writing the title of the show. What are your favorite Logos? I like Thoroughly Modern Millie's picture of Millie in the red dress and Hairspray's, with each letter surrounded a block of color. I also like the revival of Into the Woods with the storybook serving as trees, and Little Red's cloak sticking out. Zanna Don't!'s logo is awesome, too. The Z has a lightning bolt at the bottom. My least favorites are the Nine's revival logo and the revival of Man of La Mancha's. They aren't very colorful, or interesting to look at.
I like Gypsy's and Man of La Mancha's. I like La Mancha's because I really like how they made the title into the shape of a horse, which I thought was kind of cool. It's not very colorful, yes, but an interesting design none the less.

My all-time favorite logos are "On the Twentieth Century" and "Sweeney Todd." As far as the logo for the "Man of La Mancha" revival, I think it's very creative.
My favorites are Footloose, Rent, Modern Millie, and Aida. I like them because they are just visually appealing, I guess. They all have different qualities I like. My least favorite are Man of La Mancha and some others I really can't think of. They are kind of boring.
My favorite, I know, is the original London logo for Chess (with "CHESS" written in stately letters at the top, and featuring a chessboard dissolving into chaos to the left and down against a black background). I've something of a fondness for the spy novel style logo from the 1988 Broadway logo, but the original is still the best. (Variations on it, such as the Danish Tour and the Stockholm cast recordings, are cool too.)
I enjoyed the Victor/Victoria logo (minus the photo...) I thought it was cute. But my favorite probably is Side Show, with the whole crowd in black and white. But I'm impartial to that show anyway! As for Evita, I love that show, but you have to remember that the logo was unveiled in 1979, and while it IS about Eva and her life, essentially, it's a political musical so I think the logo is fitting. Mamma Mia's is kinda boring I think. I will say that DeWynters, who does most of ALWebber's stuff, and Cameron Makintosh's stuff is very clever and creative (Miss Saigon, Phantom, Sunset, Joseph, etc.) What I don't understand about the Phantom logo is sometimes there's a rose and the mask with the lettering... I've seen the show enough times to ask: Where the hell's the rose in the show? There's no significance, but yet, it's part of the logo!!! Oh well... They did something right, it's still raking in the $$$!
Teacheroftheater, what's the matter with you? I've always liked the Evita logo.
I also liked the "Shenandoah" logo and have the showbill (at one time they were made of cardboard) hanging on my wall. It was penned like a patchwork quilt.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
I love any logo's that feature artwork by Hilary Knight (also respondsible for the sketches in the Eloise books). His work includes the logo's for... No, No, Nanette Irene Sugar Babies Hallelujah, Baby Gypsy (Lansbury the best logo for this show by far). Of the current crop I like Nine and Hairspray. I found Millie's a bit disapointing.
I really don't like the revival logo for Gypsy, Even though I LOVE LOVE LOVE the show. But I do like all of the Into the Woods logos and the orginal Gypsy logo

Ragime and Rent have great logos, but Oliver isnt that bad either. Well, the original is, but there was one version with Fagin's face. It was red, and I think the title was hidden in its eyes or something. That was a cool logo.
