I dont know if this has been discussed, but I just saw this logo for SPRING AWAKENING on broadway.yahoo.com
So yeah...thoughts?
I personally like it- I think I liked the original better, though...

I prefer the original.

30 rush seats on the stage.

I actually like this logo better. It has sexual tension implicit in the logo and hints at the show; I hated the old logo.

I'm excited about this show, but haven't heard any of the music from it. Does the show even have a proper website?

I like the concept, but that looks kind of photoshopped...

Can someone post the original?

I like the original colors better, but the graphic is creepy.

Those look like two very different shows.

The original logo almost makes the play seem innocent, since the logo is of a creepy little girl. The new one definitely shows that it is a more "mature" show..and hey, sex sells!

I never really liked the original but can't say I like this new one much either. It does give a better idea about the sexual content of the show, but you'd figure they'd at least show faces.

Yeah, when I saw the logo and then read what the show really was about, it was surprising, to say the least.

I like the Victorian quality of the old one--the original logo is actually what made me interested in finding out what the show was about, and when I found out I was really excited--but I see why the sexuality of the new one better serves the show.

I'm gonna go out on a pervert limb here and say that I think the perfect balance between the two would be showing more of the Victorian girl in the old logo (she's clearly naked), kind of like it's creepy Victorian porn. That would at least allow the logo to keep some of the character that I think the new one lacks.

Duncan played a song he wrote for the show called "White Champagne" on the radio the other day and talked about how they are re-working the story for Broadway including adding music & whatnot. i'm not sure how i feel about that because i loved the songs from the Atlantic Theatre Company

well..let's figure it out this way, which would you rather like on your t-shirt?

[Rotel1026]

Bit off topic, but has there been any mention of when the cast recording is expected for this show?

[folkyboy]

Posted: 9/11/06 at 11:01pm

they said possibly a few weeks before it hits broadway if not the same week

folkyboy--I'm glad that they are tweaking it a bit. The ending at ATC was very unclear and should have been fleshed out. I enjoyed most of the songs, but felt as though the transitions needed work, as a whole, the musicalization of the show had faults, if that makes sense, even though I really liked the music. They will probably keep most of the songs but fix some plot/transition stuff.

I much prefer the older one. I like the new one, but I wish they'd use the same off-blue as the original. I feel like it just grasps your eye more. And the new one lacks something. Like, it just feels like there's something missing from it (and no, I don't mean their faces).

The lack of faces (Jersey Boys) or the use of cartoony faces (Altar Boyz) is the trend in theatrical logos. These types of logos use the human form (to which one's eyes are naturally drawn), while still allowing for endless cast changes, tours, and sit-downs.

yeah, i actually prefer the older logo as i said before- i think the girl seems kind of creepy in a weird sexual way...in a way that would make me interested in the show, though!
oh well
good luck to the show
