Posted: 7/18/05 at 9:02pmI always loved the MISS SAIGON logo...Maybe because it was one of the first shows I saw on Broadway. Also remember really liking THE SECRET GARDEN logo.

Les Mis has a great one that is very recognizable. Phantom is probably the most recognizable "You remember your first time" says it all, they don't even need the title.
I particularly love both Light in the Piazza and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

I think the Wicked logo is very well desined...nice clean lines, almost Art Neuveau feeling, and limited colour palette. I love the Secret Garden one as well...athough it is a bit cluttered. I think Rent is perfect for the type of show it is.

I feel bad that you always seem to start threads that have already been done recently...
But to answer your question... I am currently in love with the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels logo. I'm a graphic designer, and that one just catches my eye. I love how it captures the entire essence of the show without giving anything away. It's perfect!

Posted: 7/18/05 at 10:11pmI agree with WICKED and also FOLLIES - although I liked the revival logo a little better than the original. I also loved the logo for THE FROGS. That little green frog in the champagne glass was perfect!

I like Wicked's logo 'cause it looks so slick.
I like RENT's logo 'cause it looks cool like a rock band logo.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels logo is very cool and a bit old-fashioned.
I'm not a gay stereotype. I'm a coincidence.

Any of the Hilary Knight logos, GYPSY, NO, NO, NANETTE, IRENE, SUGAR BABIES, HALLELUJAH BABY! are great. Of the current crop I like DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS.
Something about the WICKED logo makes me think of a early 1970's magazine skin cream ad.

Posted: 7/19/05 at 12:08pmDon't you guys remember that back when "Wicked" was still in previews, a lot of us hated the logo. Now it seems like everybody loves the logo. My have times changed around here. I still think they could have done a better job.

I love the Logos to KISS OF THE SPIDERWOMAN, TITANIC (both logos), PHANTOM, the London version of CHESS, MISS SAIGON, LES MIS, and CHICAGO.
I love the showcard designs for DRS, REEFER MADNESS (the off-bway show), the original LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA, and PARADE.
When the post was started were we supposed to list the Logos we liked or the showcard design? The entire artwork is not always included with the logo.
