The Lost Boys

The best show logos, in my opinion, peak your interest by being catchy to look at and provoke an emotional response. The logo for the new musical The Lost Boys does just that for me. In its evolution pre-opening, my favorable opinion has only increased, and that is definitely a plus in such a relatively weak season of shows and show art!

The title font is really cool, and I think it looks great on the related show merch. The way the letters are a little faded/blurry on the edges makes it look almost like glowing embers, suggesting something sinister, aided by the foreboding black background. The way the "L" in "lost" and the "S" in "boys" looks like it is aflame, or perhaps a glowing orange smoke, adds to the sinister feel of the whole thing.

That wispy orange style carries over the key art's main image, a beckoning hand. That beckoning hand appears from out of the darkness, a ruffled sleeve? bracelet? just visible. That image is especially interesting in conjunction with the tagline, "Become One Of Us." Lost boys - even in the context of its allusion to Peter Pan - isn't a group you want to join, but rather, you join to belong to something, anything to feel less lost. All of this darkness and glowing seems even much more so with that glimpse of blue sky in the upper left corner. Is it hope? Heaven? Or is the darkness overtaking the light, which is soon to be swallowed up. Either way I am intrigued, and I think others will be, too. And intrigue = ticket sales.

Recently, the logo has evolved with the addition of show photos. Colorful and telling, the two together further show the contrast between light and dark, innocence and danger. And yet, the light/innocence also shows a certain strength, while the darkness/danger shows a certain allure. The costumes, the background (especially the orange-ish glow), the overall look of both of them adds to the mystery of the whole thing.

I really love the show art for this, and for the first time this season, a logo has me excited for the show!
