Miss Siagon Logo - JUST FIGURED IT OUT!!! — Page 3

Hm...yeah, pretty sure I never saw the helicopter. And now that it's been pointed out, I must say that's kind of a crappy attempt at a helicopter (a little too fat and stubby). I think I'll continue seeing it as a graphic symbol.

I seriously find this whole thread hilarious. I mean, I've always seen the face and the helicopter as both being very obvious...like, you're meant to see them both quite easily. It's just kinda funny that people missed the face.

yay my first post. I saw the making of Miss Saigon and they go through the whole process of designing the posters. So clever! So i guess i've always seen the face because of that.

For a moment there, I was laughing my face off. I mean, who didn't notice the face and the helicopter? It's like saying: "OMG. There's a flag in the Les Miserables logo"

But... that Martin Guerre one truly freaked me out. I've had the poster for years and years and years, and never ever noticed it was a face. Jane Eyre is pretty impressive too

Keep going with this. Are there any more logos of this nature?

I've always noticed the face, but never the helicopter until now. That said, I never understood why they used a so-called character symbol because, as Urban pointed out, the Vietnamese language uses the Latin alphabet, unlike Chinese or Japanese. Maybe it's an ancient symbol of some sort.

I have to agree Aspects of Love has the coolest looking logo.

I saw an interview with Cameron McIntosh and he said that he wanted the face to be hidden in the Miss Saigon logo and for the viewer to not easily find it. Furthermore, he wanted to have it where when you did find it, you can never forget it when you look at it. Excellent Marketing!!! That is why he is the master producer (even with shows like Cats and Phantom!)

Sorry dude, saw the heli and the face the minute Dewynters presented the final draft to the public in London. :)
