I love how HAIRSPRAY's shows it 60's element of the show and fun. And of course Tracy's pretty face.
and I love All Shook Up's cartoony and fun poster and how represnts the crazy and chatoic fun of the show.

The Keith Haering (sp.?) logo for FALSETTOS was great.
The original SWEENEY TODD logo is quite memorable.
Here's an oldie but a goodie: The original MY FAIR LADY, with Henry Higgins as a puppeteer pulling Eliza's strings, while from above, God (or George Bernard Shaw)contols Higgins' strings.

I'm pretty smitten with this gorgeous logo/poster design:

I always thought the Seussical logo and publicity photos were very creative. It's like all of the Dr. Seuss characters taking over New York City. I loved it!!!

I love the 'Wicked' logo. Visually, it's such a great show. I also love 'Miss Saigon' so much more since that thread pointing out there was a face as well as a helicopter. It's a very well done logo. ^_^

Posted: 7/3/06 at 3:16pmI particularly enjoy the original logo of 1776. With the Eagle bursting from the egg with the American Flag in it's beak.

Posted: 7/3/06 at 4:21pmI think the Cats logo is very creative, simple yet elegant and reflective of what the show was... a dance musical. I like the Miss Saigon logo too but not the helicopter part. I like the logo in type with the sun behind the "i". These logos were what made me want to become a designer which I am now.

I know there has been tons of talk on here about logos so I dug up this older thread to post on it. I was looking at the WICKED logo today and noticed something fairly obvious that I had just never noticed before, and wondered if others had caught this as well.
- The Elphaba figure has red lips, something the actual character wouldn't.
- The Glinda character has green in her eye(s).
I saw this and thought how clever! Representing how two very different people have a litle bit of each other in them (or how they end up effecting each others lives, etc).
Am I the only one who never noticed this before?

I always like the poster for THE RINK. Not really a logo but very creative.

I am also a fan of the Rent Logo, the older one at least not the Rent Live. It was catchy with the "No Day But Today" - I also like well what I think is catchy...
WICKED...so much happened before dorothy dropped in
Wedding Singer - get ready to party like its 1985.

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about Wicked. It's not a favorite show of mine, but I've always really liked the poster design--it was so iconic from the start, they practically own that shade of green now. I hate what they've done to it for the West End.
The original Sweeney logo was great--there's something really tounge-in-cheek yet really unsettling about those figures--but I really don't like the new graphic design. Sure, you're walking down the street and you glance at that color blue and you know it's a Sweeney poster, so I suppose it's successful in that sense. But there's something about that color and the mettalic letters and the eyes in the razor that seems too overdone for such a minimalist production. They should have gone with something darker and more to-the-point in keeping with the new staging. (Plus, the font they use for the reviewers' quotes on their posters is really, really ugly and doesn't fit at all...a classic show like Sweeney deserves something less generic.)

Posted: 7/23/06 at 6:31pmDoes anyone else think that the Aida logo and the Wicked logo are simular?

Strictly going by creativity of logos...
Clumsy - I hate to say it, I really do (because we all know I'm as big an ASU fan as you) but I really don't think that there's nothing "most creative" about ASU's logo. =(
I am NOT a fan CATS but theirs is excellent, as is Miss Saigon (after I was shown the helicopter/face, haha). Wicked, yes, has excellent eye-appeal, but I'm not sure it falls under most creative. I also think the London logo loses some of that eye-appeal. Falling under the "eye-appeal" umbrella, for me personally, is not the logo per se of Piazza but the cd cover, with the golden-yellow background and Clara silhouetted. Ahhh.

Most CREATIVE? Cats. Although I hated the musical, the logo was very striking. Also, I think, See What I Wanna See.
My favorites: Rent (the original one- not the one they have now, where it looks like myspace threw up), Jekyll and Hyde, and Into the Woods.
