Ayumi Hamasaki 15th Anniversary TOUR ～A BEST LIVE～ II

[ayumisrael]

Well, he doesn't even own the "A" logo so I don't think they need to pay him lol.

I like the gold scheme and leaves anyway.

lazy lazy lazy
the first logo we saw was better

[roanmy]

The first one was better. The actual logo looks a bit... Cheap.

god this forum takes the joy out of everything.

Ayu and her team were inspired by what a fan did, why would that -ever- be a bad thing? that means they actual care about what fans do.

i'd be elated if Ayu were to use something or be inspired by something I made (not that I make things haha). They acknowledged that they were inspired, the fan who made it is ok with it.

This.

Since they acknowledged the fan's work I think it's fine, and I would be so happy if it was my work!

I guess people in here are way too worried about people giving them credit for their works, so they freak out with things such as this one lol

The logo is ayu's and there are thousands of fanwork made from it, she might as well ban people from even using it, but things don't work like that.

And who knows, maybe they payed him, or maybe they talked to him and asked him not to tell, we don't know what happens behind, and omg how many other artists have used fanwork before? Are you guys serious? This happens all the time.

You should at least see the positive side, they might use your own fanwork someday, they are opening to new options and that's great.

And it's just a logo, but I guess that's all it takes to shake fandom and life decisions in this forum Another day another drama.

I quite like this logo but compared to the one we have in the top 10 ranking songs this one looks a bit cheap :/ It would be better with gold in it !

I think it's fitting really; Ayu has continued her career this far because of her fans, so a fan inspired art-work is appropriate/a homage to those people that allowed her to live her dream.

i absolutelly love the idea that they used something fanmade but like really? there's a dozzen of people out there making better stuff, and they just happen to take this one... why didn't they do like Namie did with her 20th anni logo - made a contest, if they were willing to incorporate something from fans into the logo....This is like not cool....

Maybe we could tweet her for next year that we'd like something like that~

Personally, even in Namie's contest I didn't like the one they chose...but at least they were all nice looking lol

Exactly.

If Ayu chose this as her logo, she probably thought it represented her and her career well.

[ayumisrael]

It does look good. I'm sure ayu really liked it. XD

Where did avex actually acknowledge that they used that fan's art for the logo, though? I think that's the whole problem--it's blatantly ripped off, with no mention of the original artist whatsoever (at least, from where I'm sitting).

Nowhere, they just stated this:

今年のTOURロゴは、10周年のロゴマークをベースに、ファンの方のアイディアからヒントを得てデザイン しました。

It seems to say that they got "inspired" by "fans".

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

under the logo it says this: ※今年のTOURロゴは、10周年のロゴマークをベースに、ファンの方のアイディアからヒントを得てデザイ ンしました。

[chocopockymaster]

Phew. That's enough then. I would have been ripshit angry if they'd tried to pass it off as their own.

Seriously though, they could have found a better "fan idea" than this one. >__>

[inspire_rmx]

i like it ^^

[xLuna&1LOVE]

I like the logo...

[Gustavopc]

I love how she changed the heart from her 10th anniv for a shield. For me it's a symbolism for how strong she got sine 2008, much more mature. Love love love it.

[Andrenekoi]

If they used a idea of mine I would prefer all the "glory" coming at me as money. Just saying.

The original logo was pretty ugly, but some ideas on it were pretty good if properly fixed... And they did it well enough IMO.

[macmaayu]

the fan's logo is much better...
add some colors TA!!!
