CDL09-10 ~Future Classics~ logo released!
 
I want this to be easy to find, so I'm sticking it here in a new thread... hope that's okay with some of you.

Anyways, I REALLY like the logo this year. It's like... on the same level as BEST of COUNTDOWN LIVE's logo for me with the feel of CDL04-05's design. Hopefully the goods are great too!

Interesting ^^ Still nothing beats the NEXT LEVEL logo (it looked damn tasty) XD

ayumisrael 5th December 2009 02:57 PM

That logo is really coolish. I like it.

murasakinohana 5th December 2009 02:59 PM

COOL LOGO!! :yes looks kinda gothic if you ask me.. :P

tenshi no hane 5th December 2009 03:00 PM

really cool logo, it took me a second to figure the letters out though xD

love in music 5th December 2009 03:00 PM

it's interesting.. i don't really love it but it's not bad.

Lee^ChaN 5th December 2009 03:02 PM

I like it :D

aloopy 5th December 2009 03:04 PM

I'm sorry but that logo looks awful, it's such a mess. :s

took me like 10 minutes to read it

miroro 5th December 2009 03:04 PM

i like it :yes
it's pretty cool, but hard to read :laugh

se7entheaven 5th December 2009 03:07 PM

It looks bad...it took me a few secs to figure out dat it's actually written "countdown live" :(

amorphose 5th December 2009 03:09 PM

It's pretty cool. In the word 'live' though they should've made the 'L' stylized and not the 'E.' It makes it look as if the abbreviation should be CDE and not CDL. :laugh

Seeing this logo... Its making me think it is going to have something to do with classical instruments. I'm beginning to believe it may be her more recent songs performed with a live orchestra or something? How amazing... :luv2

Midori-chan 5th December 2009 03:11 PM

Mhm, I don't really like the logo (it's a mess), but I'm looking forward to the goodies anyway. Maybe it will look better on them! ^.^''

TITANIC 5th December 2009 03:15 PM

hard to read but its really creative

The design symmetry is probably whatever they were going for and not any sort of abbreviation [they rarely ever focus on the C D L aspect] ... imo, it's executed a little strangely since C and D are stylized on one side and then E is alone on the other. They probably could've just made T stylized as well and it'd have worked just as well, but it still looks good!

After having so many CDLs, I think people would know that this says COUNTDOWN LIVE, haha.

noidea 5th December 2009 03:19 PM

It looks like the logo of some metal band I LOVE IT!

aura~ 5th December 2009 03:21 PM

I don't like it a lot :( not the big letters and so, but the type of letters... this gothic style... I don't like it a lot... reminds me of CDL 04-05 or some of these...

and... while looking at it... I see the C-D-E forming a heart... do someone see it too?? XDD

thanks for posting!

truehappiness 5th December 2009 03:27 PM

I thought of a heart too, but they look more like the shape of... a bust? [The way hearts are drawn nowadays is said to be inspired by a woman's bust, haha.]

Mostly because of how they curve to the side though.

Ooo! I just realized that this could be the first live DVD in a while [since CDL04-05?] to have an alternate logo on the back...

waterballoon 5th December 2009 03:29 PM

the heart/wings look really messy although it's really beautiful

what do you mean?

Ayusan 5th December 2009 03:36 PM

A bit messy to read XD even if of course it's for Countdown live. The gothic font is a nice choice, does it let presage something classical or ... ? A bit of change would be nice !

And yeah agree could be a metal band logo or a gothic band or such ( no not MM, but a real gothic band )

freedreamer 5th December 2009 03:37 PM

COOL!!! yea took me a while too hahaha...but AWESOME :P

Ayumi27 5th December 2009 03:37 PM

Really interesting logo, different than what I usually expect from Ayu

panda♥ 5th December 2009 03:39 PM

it looks kind of messy, but it's different and cool. :) i'm glad she's experimenting more and more with her music and performances.

Not~Yet 5th December 2009 03:42 PM

Oo I like it now that I realized what it says. :laugh (somehow it didn't cross my mind it would say "countdown live"....) I wonder if they'll do it in different colours, when it'll probably be way easier to read. I agree with those who love the gotchic/"metal band" style :P

CDL04-05's DVD had that gothic-y font on the DVD and on the back above the tracklist, and the design this time around seems special enough for them to stick it there, imo. BoCDL06-07 might've had the same treatment had it not ended up as an A BEST 2 extra...

[CDL05-06's Star Wars-y design seemed more like something that went with the T-shirts than anything since Team Message had that ST(A)R thing going on...]

Lanz16 5th December 2009 03:44 PM

The logo is a little bit messy for me and somewhat refreshing in terms of designing.
I think the C-D-E was too big tbh :( and it was too bold.

Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~ 5th December 2009 03:46 PM

wow....
so geometrical...^^
or symetrical..??

puddinx 5th December 2009 03:48 PM

Umm, i dont really like the logo. xD
But it's unique.

Mai82Go 5th December 2009 03:51 PM

Mmm..interesting. can't wait for the goodies! :)

alternarist 5th December 2009 03:51 PM

OMG the logo is so cool!!!! But i dont think its kinda obvious what's the words on the logo..

anyway, its kinda cool that ayu didnt use any fanciful shapes like "heart" for PCDL and "star" for AT09, which would have made it look kinda kiddish. It's pure words... :)

Corvina 5th December 2009 03:53 PM

Intresting.
I like the gothic font they use, but I can't read it at all.
It's too messy. Nice, but it could have been better (to read).

roanmy 5th December 2009 03:57 PM

This is the first time I have ever said anything like this about anything Ayu... But that logo is just not good. It's extremely messy and hard to read. =(

dreamland2.0 5th December 2009 03:57 PM

I like it! I like the scripty font :) Can't wait to see the goods!! Maybe they will have a kind of lacey/gothic theme lol

MissElin_ 5th December 2009 04:04 PM

How very "metal" of Ayu to pull out that logo. But Im not mad at it.

Chef+Vanny 5th December 2009 04:11 PM

from far it looked like bones to me....i cant figure out whats the logo depicting until reading ppl saying its countdown live...
AT 09 still the best for me

SunshineSlayer 5th December 2009 04:40 PM

The logo is quite strange because it is actually hard to read. :) I does give me a "classical" feel though, so will we be getting orchestral arrangements?

pchan1986 5th December 2009 04:44 PM

thats random that they enlarged the E letter but i guess they had to in order for it to look symmetrical on both sides. i wouldve preferred the L to be bigger too. but i actually like it. hmm wonder what the tour items will look like

oh and her A symbol is the original! yay:)

KIND OF similar to : http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/904/cdl2.jpg

ALfromHELLSING 5th December 2009 04:58 PM

Logo looks cool! I like it. ;)

nemesisyume 5th December 2009 05:04 PM

I STILL think the logo is a mess and it srsly takes 40 years to understand what it says

for me it looks like: CD OUNI OWNE LIVE 2009 - 2010 A ~FUUIUVE CLASSISS~

:no :no :no noo no nooo~


Crystal_Ageha 5th December 2009 05:28 PM

It's not my favourite, but I love how different it is, especially from the last logo. It looks very...intense, hah. The only thing is, it is kinda oddly designed, which makes it harder to read, like Neme said. Meh.

JackieRos 5th December 2009 05:30 PM

this beats the hideous next level logo

idk even know what this logo says but i like it

Yoake 5th December 2009 05:40 PM

It's really original!
thanks for sharing I like it!

Neko★munication 5th December 2009 05:51 PM

Ehhhh... The concept is better than the execution. Not a great logo :no.

ohsixthirty 5th December 2009 05:58 PM

I think it's terrible! You can't even read it, it's unbalanced, and kind if ugly. Plus I'd rather see a new A design instead of some goth looking letters sitting on top of the A.

Ayumiko 5th December 2009 06:01 PM

well it does look cool (kinda classy and cool at the same time) and different compared to her previous logos...but it kinda took me a while to see the D attached to the C.

taskinillusion 5th December 2009 06:05 PM

Um wow, yeah, that took me a minute to decipher. It's... kinda messy and hard to read.

L1aRx 5th December 2009 06:10 PM

I think it's a really nice logo! although it's a really tiny release of the logo [reason why it's so unreadable!!]

Maemi 5th December 2009 06:14 PM

I don't like the logo, it's boring, and it can't beat NEXT LEVEL's logo, that one is so pretty :)

truehappiness 5th December 2009 06:17 PM

I get that the "COUNT" part might be a bit hard to read due to the C/D overlap, but is it really that difficult for people to read the other parts of the logo? I guess legibility took a backseat to a funky design element this time around... [anything to get away from Impact, imo haha... unless it was like ugly script/cursive in all caps, then Impact it is!]

AyUta 5th December 2009 06:17 PM

It's too messy, I don't like it :no. It's unique but too weird for me.

I agree.

ayuayu798 5th December 2009 06:29 PM

THe logo is so unique! I really like it!

Iyreen 5th December 2009 06:44 PM

it look unique but I agree it such a mess, I only notice own and liv before realized it actually for Count Down Live, and then bolding the letter CD and suddenly E make it look unbalanced imo.

maze 5th December 2009 06:46 PM

I don't like it.. looks kinda awful :no

crea_spain 5th December 2009 07:03 PM

I like it ~~ it looks so classic but perhaps I'd like to see it with other combined colors (blue + red?)

ren0210989 5th December 2009 07:13 PM

looks great :yes
tnx for sharing :D

L1aRx 5th December 2009 07:18 PM

I made a QUICK enlargement of it with a very similar font called Dearest [i had nothing better to do...], but if you like to collect logos or something, i wouldn't save this until the real logo is out..


love in music 5th December 2009 07:28 PM

^ Good job. It looks better up close lol

Maemi 5th December 2009 07:34 PM

Now when it's bigger, I see how ugly and black that font is D: what were they thinking?

fanayutic 5th December 2009 07:51 PM

the logo doesn't seem to connect with this 'future classics' thing >.<
it should be towards future rock!
or perhaps they should add more colours to it XD

kuri♥ayu 5th December 2009 08:05 PM

the logo is ultra cool~ and thanks for the larger version :)

zoomzoom 5th December 2009 08:20 PM

Wow that's like one of her messiest logos ever. For one thing, countdown is one word, I don't know when they're ever gonna learn that. It's also set up as if they wanted it to be symmetrical, yet they have 2 huge letters on the one side and only one on the other.

I see the idea but it's probably one of the worst, if not the worst, executed logos she's had. :(

^oooh your's seems much more accurate..
what font did you use? for the numbers? and squiggly lines? or did u do everything by hand O.o

i was too lazy so i only used one font for everything

JackieRos 5th December 2009 08:42 PM

is someone willing to make it transparent ^.^

I think the numbers font was Medici Text or something like that, if with squiggly lines you mean this [~] it is one on top of other.

L1aRx 5th December 2009 08:52 PM

Ohh haha thanks, i noticed the squiggly lines were on top of each other right after i posted the question.

It doesn't even seem Ayu at all. It feels more like it belongs with like, a GUILTY tour or something, with that style of font. I expected maybe... something fluttery and delicate, yet powerful, seeing as it's "classics" (future classics that is). Hmm.

Oh, and thanks Raelian for the bigger size. :yes That's what helped me figure out what it said. :laugh

Oh no, the more I look at it, the less I like it.... --I need to stop looking at it now. D:

OyTony 5th December 2009 11:08 PM

I like it. Itīs really messy, but I like it. XD

JCD13 5th December 2009 11:12 PM

As a logo it completely fails. You can't read it! Isn't that the purpose of the logo? To inform? Fail.

Even as something "artsy" it fails. I'm sure there must have been dozens of better logos they could have used.

lakrits 5th December 2009 11:22 PM

I think it looks good...Haha, at first I didnt even realize that there were any other text than "A ~Future Classics~( It is a bit hard to make out what it says ^_^', still I feel a bit stupid for not noticing what it said).

Though, I'm i bit confused by what ~Future classics~ means, at first I thought that Ayu would be trying to pass of some of her newer songs as classics, but now i'm unsure bout what she ment... I hope she at least sings some of her older songs, even though I like her newer works too.

rakeru 5th December 2009 11:29 PM

at first i thought it looked really awkward, but i'm warming up to it.

nanakopy87 5th December 2009 11:31 PM

i think it would be better if the C,D and L is in colour like the A logo in Next Level tour.
at least we can see the differences.

jbrat2219 5th December 2009 11:41 PM

Well... It's something different lol.

Kazeyomi 5th December 2009 11:50 PM

jbrat2219 6th December 2009 12:36 AM

I think they could have done better with the Count Down Live part but this logo makes me curious as to how the concert is going to be. As does the name "future classics." I'm kind of wondering if Ayu is going to showcase some new material perhaps? Or if the concert is just going to have a futuristic theme?

lilmissgrusome 6th December 2009 01:51 AM

woah... thats really really good, is she going for a rock theme?

brener 6th December 2009 02:33 AM

I didn't understand the logo for the first time I read it, it's confuse, but I liked it, pretty modern

Delirium-Zer0 6th December 2009 02:37 AM

It's certainly cool looking, but it's completely unreadable. XD For readability, blackletter fonts should always be avoided. I don't like blackletter at all unless it's only being used for ONE letter. MAYBE two, in a very simple logo.

This.... is not good. lol

zoomzoom 6th December 2009 02:48 AM

Her logos hardly ever reflect what the concert is gonna be like, so I wouldn't use it as a clue. CDL04-05 had this blackletter font too and it was hardly rock'n'roll, lol.

StarSUCKER 6th December 2009 02:48 AM

The font choice is cool, but I really REALLY don't like how they designed this logo. It's so awkward. :no

czh_genesis 6th December 2009 02:49 AM

y_nathz 6th December 2009 03:16 AM

jiarongisme 6th December 2009 03:42 AM

@Raelian and L1aRx

Thanks for the logo!!!
But it seems so hard to read the COUNTDOWN LIVE! >_<"
