New SHREK Logo?

Posted: 8/31/08 at 9:41pm

I found it interesting that this different logo for SHREK is being used on telecharge. Unfortunately it's not any better than the original logo. Sorry i can't find a bigger picture!

It is. If you watched the Seattle video you saw the merch booth. They were selling shirts with those logos on them.

What's so bad about the new logo? It's simple, and the title says it all. What's not to like?

It's simple and will probably change again when it gets to Broadway. But if not, it's better than the other one, in my opinion.

It's fine.

Neither Logo make me gag or wanna see the show, I think it needs a human element even if it is the shape of his (Shrek)'s recognizable ogre head.

"That FOOTLOOSE logo makes me want to die"
that should be on a tee shirt.

You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

Yeah that new Shrek logo is pretty ugly. I think I'd rather have the first one.

I quite like it. Sure, it's scrappy, but it's scrappy in a purposeful way and is the antithesis of things like... oh, the 'Miss Saigon' logo, which is carefully designed, classy, elegant, and matches the show. As I think it's safe enough to say that on the whole 'Shrek' is being aimed at audiences who would have things like 'Miss Saigon' aimed at them, the logo is just fine and dandy.

Although it doesn't shrink down well at all. Looks MUCH better big!

I took the logo and recolored it to match the one in the youtube clip, and then enlarged it as best as I can.

I think it's a clever design with how they have Shrek and Donkey in the 'H' and the 'R'. I also think that it looks much better without the giant 'S' in the background.
