Without checking them all, I assume one of those old threads contains the discussion of how the Miss Saigon logo contains the helicopter AND a girl's face, and how many people absolutely cannot see the face.

I like the Les Miserables logo. I love the blue/white/red coloring to match it along with the colors of the French flag. I think a lot of people don't know it is Cosette either, and the look of the picture adds to the somber tone present in much of the show, yet is very engaging.

I know it's recent, I know it's a West End transfer, I know it's not opened yet, but it's still a total no-brainer.



See, it's dark. It's disturbing. It's beautiful. It's half boy, half horse. Half religious, half sexual. You couldn't have a more perfectly descriptive poster for the play if you just wrote a synopsis on a big sheet of paper. And that wouldn't be anywhere NEAR as pretty.

I really hate the art for Equus, but more because I have this really weird thing with...rib cages. in theory it's gorgeous; I just can't...handle it.

one of my favorites is...

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Woman in White!

I think it's absolutely perfect. The image almost represents the digital projections they used...it also shows the title character over her "secret" in the musical over Blackwater lake!/near Limmeredge House if you see the B'way logo!

However bad it was, I have to admit that The Pirate Queen logo is amazing.

I personally like The Phantoms mask and/or the rose.

What I like about them is that you can just show either of them and people would know what show is being advertised.

And, as for people not knowing that the Les Miserables logo is in fact a picture of cosette. I remember walking in Shubert Alley during the time of the revival. There was a Les Miserables poster there and there was a mother and her daughters talking about who it was in that picture and they were trying to figure it out. One of their guesses was that it was Eponine.

Not my favorite of all time, but one I haven't posted in any of the older threads that deserves a mention.

I LOVE the Witches of Eastwick Logo!
Explains how the show contains love thorugh the love heart, and the added twist to the story is shown as well though the devil tail and the flames. Also the use of red to signify passion, lust and the devil. Very cleverly designed and what I think is very a beautiful logo. Also I love the Sweet Charity 2005 logo too, very retro! LOL!

re: the logo for A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, holy crap I only just now noticed all the naked bodies in it! I had only just seen the tree before. The MARTIN GUERRE logo is cool too, another hidden image one.

givesmevoice, that's the first one I thought of when I saw the topic

CapwTwirl, when I went to get my ALNM windowcard framed, I made an offhand comment to my mother about "I hope they don't get weirded out by the naked people..." to which she replied "...naked people?" I love how it makes people do a double-take.
