I thought motley crue was out??

That could be a old one ..... right?

very cool... i like it! ?;D and yeah i also thought MC was not going to do that show? :confused:

Maybe that was made before they pulled out.

they are. Aiken Promotions fucked up i guess.

kind of funny not sure what gnr is going to be there, and the not playing motley crue is on the poster :hihi:

I wish there was a group photo of new gnr under the logo

this was my promo thread if anyone has something to add

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=28121.0

Can we accept that this is the official logo now?

Do you think someone from gnr's team sent them the logo or are they just using what they have found from the recent past?

Could be official.. But with GnR no one knows shit so who the fuck knows.. Im sure someone will contact merck and we'll get a bullshit response.

They're probably using something they found.

Sure that is true.... For the band's sake I hope that people don't get the wrong idea, when you see gnr n motley crue you might think old school... Everyone had favs in the band years ago so some might be going in hopes of the past seeing those types of promo banners.. Thanks god they aren't using the AFD cross :hihi:

the 2001 promo stuff had the chinese guerilla and that was official.

the 2002  promo posters for Leeds had the star logo which was 'official'.

i dont see why this wouldnt be.

it is!
Why else do all the promotors use it?

I like it alot - a more in line with classic logo with a modern edge - very cool

If that was the case they would use the old logo, not a brand new one.

Very cool! I want to see some in the UK!

What's "+ support"?

That's how the posters for all of the MTV-originated, no-talent teenager acts should look.

"Ashlee Simpson
+ prerecorded support"


It's probably something common to shows in that locale, meaning "opening act" or something.

It's just opening acts also that haven't been confirmed.

God people...

Some of you don't even stop to think a bit.

Do you have any idea what kind of resolution does a logo need to have in order to make these posters?

It's definitely official...

i tiff file in and around the file size of 24Mb? :hihi: Am i close?

I like this new logo, it's got a cool modern twist to it. I was just thinking about the Davinci Code though... If the rumor about the soundtrack is true, it might mean Axl has read the book... Which gives the five-pointed star whole new meaning. (If you've read the book, you know what I'm talking about) I'm probably wrong, but it's an interesting theory  :peace:

I hope that is the new official logo. It's an awesome combo of old and new style.

Jesus Christ... The Warsaw concert is expensive!
110 zl for the cheapest tickets!?

Thats like $80 US!

naaah

i guess 13mb.... :hihi:

try livin' in Australia, Motley Crue was like....$150 first class, dont know what thats worth in your country thou, but it wouldnt be far off!!

I dig that logo a lot... Good blend of old and new.

Yeah.

And no promoter would do such kind of job and then send it (like a good angel) to all the other European promoters that do GN'R concerts this year, so they can print the posters or flyers.

So, yes, it's official.

Well if it's "official" and Slash allegedly owns the trademark to the old logo [pistols wrapped in roses- which I have to believe would be protected from this logo- you can't just go around using the McDonald's "M" (especially in the same class) just by putting an orange star around it]... either Axl and Slash have hammered out an agreement for its use...  Axl is about to get slapped with another law suit from Slash... OR....  :nervous: :drool: :peace: :beer:

Personally I think that logo looks gay... very old school... I dont know about the record company, but if i spent over 10 million making an album I'd want to spend more than $5 on the logo... heck, Axl could get robin to come up with something better than that.

if you want gay, take a look in the mirror.
if you don't like the logo then just fuck off.

The logo itself kicks ass... a 1,000 times better than the 2001-02 version... it looks like a real merger between the CD era Guns and the original Guns.... wonder if that will be reflected by who's on stage....

If you don't want to respect the rules we have, then just fuck off.

Seems like that's the only language you understand.

Found this on http://www.poster.de/Guns-N-Roses/Guns-N-Roses-Guns-N-Roses-9900396.html !!! The style reminds me of the new (official?) star logo!

I've seen that poster in town before. It's old.

Can't say if it's old or new ...

It looks good but I prefer the new posters used to announce concerts, the ones featuring the Star Logo.

If there was a poster of that, on a black background, I'd buy it right away : ok:

That looks like the old one

I want to travel to Warsaw only to steal it  :D

Looks great  : ok:

i have that poster in my room and have had it since last year...

Ok, I'm wrong  ::) :-[

new or not..... i`ll buy this one : ok:

must...........obtain....  ;D

This poster is from Bravado.

I'm pretty sure that if you check your posters (the ones who have this one) you'll find a 200x year on it. It could be 2004...

yeah... i think in 2004 some new merchandise came out....  i got my chinese star chain then : ok:

only posters we get in the uk is the download festival lineup in magazines until really near the event

and 100 posts wooo

God I love that logo :drool:

you probably won't have to...i can see them selling a poster of the logo at the shows...

I would say it's definately NOT official

notice in the two examples given in this thread - the guns are in different places in relation to the star, as well as the "G&R".  These examples wer made by two different people.  I would think that there would be only one official logo, and that things like the placement of the guns etc. would be worked out. 

Not to mention the logo is lame as hell. 

Also, I don't think they would put both "Guns n' roses" and "G&R" both on the same logo

Ok, you got me.

It's all a big conspiracy.

GN'R are planning concerts but their too lame and asked from the promoters to design a logo. The best one would get the gig for 10.000 dollars less...

 ::)

who said anything about a conspiracy?

Well, you obviously don't seem to have any idea on how promoters and bands work for such big concerts, still you insist that you're right based on some milimetres from the logo, so I don't see any reason to talk seriously from now on...

"some milimeters from the logo?"

you obviosuly know nothing about graphic design

 :rofl:

Thanks for the laugh.

But seriously...

It's a pretty cool logo...but for the love of God it could have been a little more original.

Robin is indeed a fanatastic artist, or Axl could take a piece of advice from Korn and have the fans design the album cover. ;)

At least you got that right...

I make money as a promoter (which is my second job, I'm also into the clothing industry), not from graphic designs...

And from my experience I can tell you that bands like GN'R, Metallica etc etc send their logos, promo stuff to promoters and they use that.

Even Adler's Appetite had a folder with promo stuff (pictures, logo, bio).

Some promoters don't know shit and use stuff they scan from albums, hell even t-shirts.

But the real professionals ask for official stuff from the management so they can blend it into the posters or any artwork they do.

And when you see the same logo and the same picture (of Axl in 2002) on promo posters or flyers or sites from more than 4-5 different countries (Download, Italy, Warsaw, Ireland, Nova Rock, Paris) and we're talking about serious promoters here, you know it's been sent from the band, and not made by the promoter.

If you still fail to understand this, I'm sorry but I can't help you...

Wow i didnt know that was rare i have it on my bedroom wall..... lol ive had it for a couple years so its noit brand new

I have that poster on my wall. ;D

Go to gnronline.com and look at the logo dude.

The logo makes me sad b/c it makes me think about the old days and the old line up.  At least with the new one used in '01 and '02 it made me think about a new era and a fresh start.  I personally don't know if its official b/c we don't get told shit.
