I don't think REnt should have one, the logo isn't that revolutionary, it is just widely recognized today.

I think RENT fits the show perfectly and it's very simple and recognizable. If anyone were to see that "FONT" they'd think of RENT.

I'd have to agree on Wicked - whatever else you might say about it, it's a simple, memorably logo that tells you about the show.

Other votes: The Woman In White, The Scarlet Pimpernel (original version, though the flower/swashbuckler silhouette was fun too), Aida, and the recent Follies revival.

As for Sunday In The Park... I would've agreed, untill I saw how other productions took the same painting and did more unique effects with it.

Munkustrap - I am a moron, and stand corrected. I was looking at an image that was literally just the painting.

Another favorite - the London Mary Poppins and The Witches Of Eastwick. I don't think I've ever seen a Dewynters logo I didn't like.

I also love the recent logos of NINE and GYPSY.

I like the concept but not the pixels, it would look better without them.

Really? I think Mermaid's is bland, and Young Frankenstein's is just ugly.

But yes, the GG logo is stunning.

---

I know I'm in the minority, but I really like Mermaid's. Even though YF's is really busy, I like the lighted letters and Ingaon it.

I still don't know how they're expecting Roger Bart to look like Wilder... I think they should've done a new take on his look.

Peter Filichia has one weird working mind.

I think that sounds like a better idea. I'll start it?
