This is appearing on the websites for the tour.
Errr...I vote, 'dumb."

I saw that in the mailer they sent out for Broadway in Boston (or whatever its called now). I actually laughed at how dumb it is.

Not only is it appearing on websites for the tour, it's appearing on the posters outside the New World Stages at The Worldwide Plaza as well. I agree it was about time they got rid of the photos of the original cast members (especially since Matthew NEVER had that awful goat-tee), but I am still up in the air on this new logo. It's very cute, but something about it screams "Scooby-Doo" to me.

I've not seen the show but from what i've read about it the new logo would seem appropriate. And yes, it is a bit Scooby-Doo.

I saw it outside New World Stages last week as well. I think it's adorable. But those caricatures are of the original cast members. It's hard to tell from the one posted here, but on the big ones, you can easily see that's Scott, Tyler, Andy, Ryan, and David.

I agree that the caricatures are of the original cast. At least they're more discreet, though. You won't walk out of the show going, "That was great, but who are the guys on the playbill?" These caricatures will be able to survive no matter what cast is playing. That's what I like about the new logo.

The new logo is appropriate for their target audience. It seems to be working because the show has been selling out!

The logo's been around for a while. It's cute, kind of hilarious because some caricatures look more like the original cast members than others, i.e. Scott Porter and David Josefsberg. They also have an Altar Boyz van that'll be driving through NY. The logo is a bit campy, but .. it's Altar Boyz. And it was time to get rid of the picture of the OOBC.

I really like it. It needed the update and this one was a good mix of things. You can tell it's still the original cast, but it isn't as blatantly obvious. Plus, a van like the one in the logo can be seen cruising in the city, which I also think is neat.

Overall, I think it was a great choice to update the logo and I really like the one they came up with :)

The wording is fine, fits with the boy band aspect. I would have somehow incorporated a cross or something, but that's alright. However, I just don't get the van.

If you have seen the show you would understand the van. Luke drove the bands van during the "tour" and at some point he wrecks the van because he's "exhausted". They reference it several times during the show. It's actually a great tie in for all those Altarholicis out there.

The new logo is more fitting for the essence of the show, which is lots of fun. The old one led some people to believe it was kind of serious.
