What are you favorite/least favorite Show Logos?

Whenever a show is advertised, their logo show up. Sometimes it's a picture, or a fancy way of writing the title of the show. What are your favorite Logos? I like Thoroughly Modern Millie's picture of Millie in the red dress and Hairspray's, with each letter surrounded a block of color. I also like the revival of Into the Woods with the storybook serving as trees, and Little Red's cloak sticking out. Zanna Don't!'s logo is awesome, too. The Z has a lightning bolt at the bottom. My least favorites are the Nine's revival logo and the revival of Man of La Mancha's. They aren't very colorful, or interesting to look at.

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. Updated On: 7/15/03 at 12:52 PM

I love the WICKED logo. I think it is brilliant.

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.

There's another one: Wicked~ I think it's ansolutely awesome and works so well and really makes the person think.

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.)

"Romeo et Juliette ~ de la Haine a l'Amour" has my favorite logo. I haven't really seen any logo's I hate, so I can't answer.

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 $$$!

Teacheroftheater, what's the matter with you? I've always liked the Evita logo.

I also liked the "Shenandoah" logo and have the showbill (at one time they were made of cardboard) hanging on my wall. It was penned like a patchwork quilt.

I love any logo's that feature artwork by Hilary Knight (also respondsible for the sketches in the Eloise books). His work includes the logo's for...
No, No, Nanette
Irene
Sugar Babies
Hallelujah, Baby
Gypsy (Lansbury the best logo for this show by far).
Of the current crop I like Nine and Hairspray. I found Millie's a bit disapointing.

Whenever I see the MILLIE logo I want to check to see whether Millie has shaved under her arms.

Enchanted April's is nice as well. I also like the original Into the Woods logo. With the title hidden in the trees.

They all captured the essence of the show.

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.

My favorite would have to be "Nick & Nora"...the show may have been a mess...but what a classy logo!
