Yes, but sometimes people have a third deeper layer thats the same as the first. Like pie. Dr. Horrible

Posted: 1/13/09 at 6:35pmGreat logo, but the marquee looks bland. Its really classy, but I wish they would spice it up.

And people are complaining that so many shows are closing... what do you expect when you are given shows like these?!?!
#5re: Story of My Life Logo
Posted: 1/13/09 at 7:15pmYes, the show will flop because you don't like the artwork.

I'm no fan of the artwork (it reminds me of a very bad self-help book), and the show will probably flop, but I have faith in the show's quality. And I love Gets and Chase.

No, I think it will flop because of what I posted 2 months ago (https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.cfm?boardid=1&boardname=bway&thread=985060#3738251):
"Have these Producers not learned that, especially in today's time but overall, in the history of Broadway, opening a new contemporary show with a cast size that you could count on one hand's worth of fingers will ALMOST DEFINITELY not recoup... How is that a smart business decision.
Open it Off-Bway if you love it that much and hope it becomes the next I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change!
Not the next Glory Days or Title of Show!! THIS IS A BUSINESS, YOU WILL LOSE MONEY!!"

Posted: 1/13/09 at 8:28pmI saw the marquee and artwork the other day and thought it was way too plain. No way that's going to sell a show -- and this will be a tough sell to begin with.

Posted: 1/13/09 at 8:29pmI get a Catered Affair vibe from this: some will love it, but most will be underwhelmed, and it will close in a few months.

"a few months"???
Try a few days maybe a week or two, if it even gets to opening night...
#11re: Story of My Life Logo
Posted: 1/13/09 at 9:18pmI actually like the artwork, but the marquee does look too plain to sell the show. I agree with the poster above that said the show has a "Catered Affair" vibe. Still, I plan on buying tickets to this show (hopefully for March or April). Does anyone know if it's one or two acts?

Posted: 1/13/09 at 10:34pmI hope for all concerned it is good, but you have to admit the advertising is a bit bland...
#16re: Story of My Life Logo
Posted: 1/13/09 at 11:30pmYou guys trash marquees as if you expected to see naked men and fireworks on them. It's a ****ing marquee. There's only so much you can do.

Posted: 1/13/09 at 11:47pmWell that's true Bobby, but some graphics and color never hurt anyone...

The theatre is in a prime location, and it's a very small space for a musical.
With positive reviews, this really has the potential to find an audience.

Posted: 1/14/09 at 12:46amIt does need something, but I remember the marquee for "Dividing The Estate" being just as plain and boring, but after it opened it got slightly more interesting. But I do agree. It needs something. Maybe a book motif, or something?

I was in NYC when the logo was up, and I walked right past the the theatre looking for the logo and marquee thinking to myself "Did they change theatres?"
And to anyone who thinks this sounds like a Glory Days, you are all wrong, it SHOUTS with a megaphone GLORY DAYS.
I'll have them clawing at eachother, like drag queens at a wig sale"

Posted: 1/14/09 at 1:51amI actually thought GLORY DAYS' advertising campaign was pretty catchy. Great artwork.

Why are you re-designing the marquee for a show you admitted knowing nothing about in a previous thread. Did you finally discover Google tonight?

i like what they have now, which is, IMO, better than this:
which is what they used at Goodspeed.
