Old and Classic Logo to be Reinstated as well!!!

[MAX]

Sorry to quote BS1 yet again but he's more "in" than I'll ever be and this is a realevent topic IMO.

Thank goodness, I always hated those ring-a-ding-a-lings.

Also, I'm ripping off Panamark as well but I gotta agree...

No shitty Sammy logo's, Ed with his original guitar,
Classic Van Halen songs the centre of attention again,
Dave out front !!

Hey this isnt bad at all !!

Maybe we can drag Dave's voice back from 1979 too.

Interesting, I would have preferred they left that to represent the glory years of Classic Van Halen, rather than resurrect it for Van Halen Mach 4.

Well we all know Ed's all about moving forward....remember "the past is best left to memory."

[AJHV]

Great VH going backwards instead of forward

Oh dear...

Naw, I like it aged as it is right now just fine.

I'm not trying to time travel. I'm just looking at this as a celebration much like The Who's 25th Aniversary Tour in '89, where they both embraced and celebrated the band's past.

Regardless, it was a great show and a good time was had by all.

anyone ever think they will put pictures up on that thing or just leave a splash page then a simple link to the tour dates?

I never understood the whole thing with the logos. The evolution was minimal. It was basically the same logo, with a bunch of rings around it. Hardly a major change.

They should bring back Pete Angelus for the art direction, though. VH album covers started sucking in the nineties. He's part of the original team that made VH credit and didn't really get proper credit, along with Templemand, Donn Landee, etc. These guys' contribution got overshadowed by years of useless "sam vs dave" debates...

[Ian Sane]

That's odd, they've changed it back to the rings version. The classic logo was there earlier.

Weird...

Eddie, your oak tree is dead.

[Raldo]

Cool, bringing back the classic logo!!

Yes, Eddie may be bringing back the past but so what. The man can change his mind (ie. Bill Parcells, Roger Clemens...)

[punk5150]

Good Idea....
That classic logo is so awesome.

How many times did we draw it up on our bookcovers.

nothing wrong with reliving the past.

Hmm... The '04 logo is (still?) there now. It was changed briefly? No amount of refreshing changes anything. Does this mean something?! Is it a metaphor?! Could it be things already fell apart with Dave and they're bringing Sammy in for the tour?! Maybe Edward didn't properly trademark the old logo and it can't be published until then!! What is happening to VH when the logo is constantly changing??!! Ahhh!!!

I don't mean to piss on anybody's parade here, but seriously, who gives a fuck about Van Halen's logo?
They are a rock band, right? Isn't it about the music?
Oh my God, the rings were so gay, but the wings are so fucking cool!!!!!
You Rothtards please keep it up for my entertainment. I'd probably have to leave this place if it weren't for you.
