What're the origins of the names/logos for the AIC theatres?

Hideout Girl is naked! Was worth starting this thread just for that gem of knowledge.

How about Salvage Vanguard? Institution? New Movement?

Design and logo work is the hardest/simplest/most amazing thing to me. Big props to the people in our community who do this work, cause it's awesome.

----------------------------------

Chris Trew: "Origin of Megaphone logo was Tami used to write her student emails with the heading "this is a megaphone" and I always thought that was very powerful. When we were brainstorming logos and what we were trying to accomplish, everything about a Megaphone made sense."

---------------------------------

Chris & Tami don't have a presence on this forum so I'll share my experience with branding. When I first arrived The New Movement brand struck me pretty hard. Here was this ballsy place saying they were starting a movement.

The brand spoke to me. It said: "we're loud and we want to start a revolution."

Heck, I was practically dressed like revolution-era Fidel Castro at the time and here was this place that had the nerve to make these bold claims. I got to know them as very passionate, hard working people devoted to their students. Chris and Tami told me their dreams of starting a comedy movement sweeping the south, starting in Austin and expanding to New Orleans, Houston, and other cities.

Then I realized what a motivated person Chris was. I was confused because he wasn't on this forum. (Because he had been busy). He followed up with me within minutes of every correspondence. He's an engine always reaching for the next thing. He doesn't stop to reflect. He's just always moving forward to realize this dream. So more and more I became inspired that he could actually pull it off, whatever he was dreaming. To me that force, that willpower is the New Movement.

As with improv scenes - make bold choices.

Here's an earlier concept for the megaphone designed by Sarah Plinario Price:

And then I volunteered elsewhere and felt totally exploited as a human being.

But that wouldn't be passively aggressive, the game of cowards.

Little known fact; Jesse was a black b-movie actor in the early 70's.

One of my castmates in Mainstage keeps saying that the two boxers in the CT logo look less like they're fighting and more like one dude is pulling down the other guys pants IN PREPARATION FOR ORAL SEX.

Looks more like a punch in the gut to me. A punch in the gut IN PREPARATION FOR ORAL SEX.

That's how it always starts, no?

do any of the logo "characters" have names?

and if not, can each theatre hold a contest to name them?

I nominate "Chris RB Fay" for the Hideout girl's name.

And then I cry at how few of you get the joke.

The boxer with the mustache is named Reginald Pennyfeather and the less hirsute gentleman is Sir Monty Lachrymose.
