What are you favorite/least favorite Show Logos?

I like Gypsy's and Man of La Mancha's. I like La Mancha's because I really like how they made the title into the shape of a horse, which I thought was kind of cool. It's not very colorful, yes, but an interesting design none the less.

My all-time favorite logos are "On the Twentieth Century" and "Sweeney Todd." As far as the logo for the "Man of La Mancha" revival, I think it's very creative.

My favorites are Footloose, Rent, Modern Millie, and Aida. I like them because they are just visually appealing, I guess. They all have different qualities I like. My least favorite are Man of La Mancha and some others I really can't think of. They are kind of boring.

My favorite, I know, is the original London logo for Chess (with "CHESS" written in stately letters at the top, and featuring a chessboard dissolving into chaos to the left and down against a black background). I've something of a fondness for the spy novel style logo from the 1988 Broadway logo, but the original is still the best. (Variations on it, such as the Danish Tour and the Stockholm cast recordings, are cool too.)

I enjoyed the Victor/Victoria logo (minus the photo...) I thought it was cute. But my favorite probably is Side Show, with the whole crowd in black and white. But I'm impartial to that show anyway!
As for Evita, I love that show, but you have to remember that the logo was unveiled in 1979, and while it IS about Eva and her life, essentially, it's a political musical so I think the logo is fitting.
Mamma Mia's is kinda boring I think. I will say that DeWynters, who does most of ALWebber's stuff, and Cameron Makintosh's stuff is very clever and creative (Miss Saigon, Phantom, Sunset, Joseph, etc.)
What I don't understand about the Phantom logo is sometimes there's a rose and the mask with the lettering...
I've seen the show enough times to ask: Where the hell's the rose in the show? There's no significance, but yet, it's part of the logo!!! Oh well... They did something right, it's still raking in the $$$!

Big surprise from me....

Fav is Scarlet Pimpernel 2.0 and later...not the first one!

Least Favorite was the recent revival JCS.

MY FAIR LADY

A CHORUS LINE

They all captured the essence of the show.















LINK: Tracy,you look beautiful behind bars!

TRACY: It must be the low-watt institutional lighting!

Ragime and Rent have great logos, but Oliver isnt that bad either. Well, the original is, but there was one version with Fagin's face. It was red, and I think the title was hidden in its eyes or something. That was a cool logo.
