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....

[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.

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!!!

[brener]

i want real me so bad now :~

Exactly.

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

If they were going to do something like this, they should have done what Namie's team did and made it open to all the fans to submit.

I doubt they planned to use a fan-made logo. Perhaps it caught Ayu's eye or one of her team noticed it and showed her, and it just kind of happened. I agree a competition would of been more 'fair' and whatever, but in the end if it's what Ayu feels best represents her tour, then it's the right decision.

Personally not a huge fan of it, but it's not her worst logo.

agree'd

If you're stealing an idea, make sure it's a good one.
This logo is horrendous and looks well... fanmade.
What a great creative team...

mmm i think it's not about the fairness, at least in my eyes..it's just not a professional way of aproaching this....
well it's Ayu, i rarelly aproove of her "creative" team options...but oh well... it's one of the worst logos from her that I've seen, in the top 5 for sure, but it's just a logo i guess...*shrugs*
It might not look like it's the right decision from the point of view of some of us (like me) but it's HER decision, i guess she likes it. And honestly i never understood j-pop/j-music graphic departament...i just don't get it whatsoever lol

Everyone has different tastes. Just read the comments here; some hate it, some love it, whatever. I agree that the logo probably could of been better, but perhaps she thinks it represents her current tour the best and it isn't all about how professional the design is all the time.

[ExodusUK]

Ohh the logo is out, don't care though, it's just a logo.

[mi|kshake]

I actually really like it - it'll look cool on the t-shirts.

mi|kshake~

[Heavenly]

I find the new logo... weird.
I dunno, the wing was kinda unique when it released for the 10th anniversary, now they just re-use it. Moreover, the shild shape could have been designed better, and the swirls are useless; they aren't even beautiful or something !
I think it's a non-cohesive logo, as someone says : it seems like they just put pieces together.

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

[adantatu2]

I don't like the logo, but at least they should give a pair of tickets to this guy

Lol


I like this logo. Cool that they used a fan's design.

[Yumsushi]

I honestly dont care if the logo is lame or whatever, however I don't know how they can call it an "inspiration" when its nearly identical to one fan's design. Is that what her team is now resorting to? ripping ideas off fans? how could they not give this poor guy credit?

Also, I've watched a few performances now, I wonder does Ayu hate Timmy or something? Maybe the logo should've been one wing on one side, and Timmy's horrendous clown face on the other
