Also, adding onto what someday said, by not using specific faces of cast members they limit the amount of times that they need to change the logo, ie. they dont need to have a new photo shoot each time a cast member leaves.

If that is really new logo, I think the creative team is crazy.

The original logo is very HIP and PERFECT with the show. Vintage looking with a HIP touch like microphone does really say about the show.

If the show is trying to gain younger audience, the new poster is just too stupid.

I agree with PK2. The new logo looks like an ad for a 5th rate horror movie.

I always felt that the other logo was abolutely perfect for the show. It was creepy, suggested sexuality and coming of age without being blatant about it, and had a great color that was somehow classy and hip at the same. In other words, it was everything Spring Awakening claims to be. It is the juxtaposition of a very old text with a new rock score that makes this piece feel timeless -- and the old graphic nailed it. I really hope they aren't abandoning it for this in-your-face, sex-sells photo.

I actually like both. But I agree whith whoever said that they both seem like very different shows judging from the posters. I can't wait to see this though!!

I actually like the new logo better. The old one made me not really want to see the show, not that the logo would actually determine what shows I go to see, but I thought it was a little strange.

I don't think changing faces would have been a problem in this case--I'm pretty sure that's just an old turn of the century photo they used, not a cast member.

I know, but I was responding to the idea that the new logo only showed legs and not faces of the people
