“This logo was created in November 2007 for the City of Montreuil’s new theatre “le Nouveau Theatre de Montreuil” (France). The design of the logo has been inspired by the Institution’s new building. Lines coming from different directions meet and inter-twine to finally draw the outline of the building and thereby create its volume. It is the meeting point of exterior and interior. While the lines capture the theatre, they also burst out of its confines. It represents the artistic dynamic of this place of creation and the international aspect of the Theatre’s activities.”
Designers: Delphine Cordier and Aurélie Gasche
The fine lines make the logo quite difficult to look at when such a small size. I would have added a solid block colour behind the lines to help solve this.
I get optical illusions of curves in the lines. Was this the wanted effect?
I never associated lines with theatre before… and I don’t think I will either.
I wonder if there’s too many lines here. I get a bit dizzy looking at it. Maybe the same shape with 1/3 the lines would help here.
I agree that the lines are a bit dizzying. That being said, I do like the concept behind them. I think the idea outweighs the outcome in this case.
I love the optical effect on it (and the complexity). It’s a great mark.
I think it’s too busy. But as far as logos go for theaters, it’s pretty good.
Nice logo. Neat how they animated it for the intro to their web site.
I would have to agree that the lines do mess with the eyes a bit, but I think the overall concept is very sound. I too enjoyed the brief animation on their website, and I really like the typeface.
But if you aren’t familiar with the design of their new building, the logo that references it is irrelevant.
I assuming this looks like the building; very, very fresh work. Love it.
The line with get blended away if this was used much smaller, here above you can see it started to blur compared to what you see on their website.. Also I don’t like the blue version they show before the loader. And also dont like the green they should use the black one.
