Posted: 8/25/14 at 2:39pmAgreed. Just looking through Davenport's logos for his upcoming show - Getting The Band Back Together - I hated them all. There's something to be said for a clean design. And SideShow is just a case of terrible marketing. They don't know what they want the show to be. If anything play up it's romantic elements. Not this glitz/glamour Chicago vibe. Because it doesn't have any of that.

Posted: 8/25/14 at 2:41pmAwful. Why are they trying to move as far away as possible from the tone and setting of the show? The intertwining arms is the only interesting quality to the image. It just looks unoriginal and trite, completely lacking in creativity.

Think something more in this style would have been better

Posted: 8/25/14 at 3:56pmI doubt that Carnivale was cancelled because of it's artwork. Do you think Sideshow will last for 2 seasons?

"Do we know which agency is handling their marketing?"
You'd think a great detective with such a terrific record would be able to figure that out.

To all you haters: i would LOVE to see what you would come up with that would be the LEAST bit interesting... and taking art from an already existing thing (i.e. Carnivale) doesn't count. And if you think you can do it better, why don't you get a job (or try to get a job) at one of the agencies and stop hiding behind a screen.
Sooo... You work for SpotCo, I'm assuming.

Oh my god shut up. I'm not an artist and don't know if I could do a better job, but as consumers - whose literal role IS to consume the art - we actually are the best judges.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)

Posted: 8/25/14 at 5:54pmRight or wrong, it seems they are purposefully shying away from showcasing the freaks/carnival aspects of the show. In that end, they've succeeded.

Posted: 8/25/14 at 6:03pmFor what they're aiming at, it could've been so much worse.

I think it's GORGEOUS and classy. And puts focus on what the story is actually about.

eperkins, God I hope SIDE SHOW doesn't run two seasons.
And I know that I am not amazing at Photoshop and I made this in like 45 seconds, but if I were working on the show, I would try to go for artwork kind of like this:

I sort of like the new artwork, but I was hoping they would've done something like they did for the Kennedy Center. Something like this picture, which I found on Tumblr.

Posted: 8/25/14 at 8:23pmThat is exactly what they should be using. The title treatment even looks better with that photograph. Hire that guy!

This is merely fan art... lol. I love the new design, but here's my version of a new recording cover featuring that beautiful Kennedy Center photo.

Oh wow, I made that poster/picture out of boredom, and then posted it on Tumblr. I didn't think anyone would like it!
