That's it? Really?

I think the logo artwork might look better with a promotional image of Raul, or the cast or something. Alone, it looks too plain but better than the original from their pre-Broadway run.

REALLY????? How much did they pay for that??? Whatever it was it was wayyy too much.

In an effort to be positive about the artwork, all I can find to say is at least it's not orange!

"Groundbreaking", "Original", "Creative" "Has To Be Seen To Be Believed", "Dazzling", "I Was Brought To Tears"....jus bein silly....Did one of the producer's children do it? More bad artwork on the St. James marquee.

If you think the logo is bland, checkout the show's official website:

Oy vey, brody123, you're not kidding. The production team needs to take a big leap of faith with a decent designer. The website barely looks like a homemade draft.

I like the artwork. It symbolizes the story in a subtle way. The website, a little too subtle, to say the least!

Wow... That is a bit underwhelming.

Well, the artwork is certainly... tasteful. But I can't even say that about the website. Maybe they're revamping it now that they have artwork?

well if this is a sign of things to come get ready for a half finished show....

I'm wondering why anyone thinks the show won't be any good because they don't like the artwork.

That website looks like they're reviving the 2006 revival of COMPANY and calling it, LEAP OF FAITH.

What the hell...?

I am in shock over the website. I could code the same website. I'm self taught and haven't coded anything in years.

I love Raul Esparza and think he's one of the great talents of today's theatre. That being said, I doubt that his name alone is going to send the out-of-towners rushing to their phones to get tickets. It's got to be something more provocative -- and colorful. The way it looks now, you'd think it was some ponderous drama.

Dear Leap of Faith producers,

You need double the artwork and half the fonts. How does this symbolize anything? "Mirror Ball" says Studio 54 at best and Sarah Maclachlan at least. It's been over 10 years since I've seen the movie, but the only sparkly bit I remember were the sequins. Mirror balls are not sequins. Also, what's with all the different typography?

Call me.

I would be very surprised if this isn't just a placeholder so they can have something to put out there.

I would hope that isn't the final artwork, since it is quite bland. To be fair I highly highly doubt that website is anywhere near finished.

It's interesting how people see things differently. Rather than think about a disco ball, I saw it as "surface glitz" and "phony" which is what Nightengale was.

Looks like word art

Really, is it any worse than the Jesus Christ Superstar non-artwork? Advertising is dreadful recently. The Stickfly ad is horrible and I would bet does more to push people away than bring them in. One A Clear Day... made the musical look like a concert and then, with the addition of Ms. Mueller, like a bad high school art project. Lysistrata Jones was cute but made the show look like a high school production. What is going on?

I loved the logos for Rebeca and Bonnie and Clyde.

In all fairness, the jacket they used in the LA production was made of largish square mirrors that look far more like a disco ball than sequins. But the jacket is three-dimensional. It doesn't translate to flat art.

And what on earth is anyone going to get about the show from that artwork? Honestly, the more I looked at the font for Raul's name, the more it reminded me of Superman. Now, I love Raul to death, but "man of steel", really?

The whole thing just looks....dreary, along with what most everyone else said here so far.
