SACD logo: drug art from the 1960's?
I just got back from Best Buy with a bag full of SACDs to throw in my Philips DVD963 when it shows up tomorrow: Bruno Walter Brahms 4th, Beethoven 6th; Szell Beethoven 3rd, Mendelssohn 4th; Bernstein Rhapsody in Blue; Spano/Atlanta Vaughan Williams 1st; Plank Floyd DSOM; Carole King Tapestry. Plus the Carlos Klieber Beethoven 5th and 7th; Tilson Thomas Mahler 1st are coming from Amazon. I'll have to see what all the hubbub is about in regards SACD.
One thing that got to me is the SACD logo. I didn't even realize it WAS the logo until I stared at it. It reminds me of the lettering used on those druggie-art posters for Jefferson Airplane and Greatful Dead concerts in the 1960's. Is this what the button-down suits at Sony had in mind??? :p)

I don't know, but I think the logo is "far out man".

I'll have to admit that logo looks pretty cool. And it's instantly recognizable (a good thing).
Dvd-audio's "Advanced Resolution" swirley logo looks decent, but they need to prominently put it on every disc & every player. (Easy) brand recognition is very important when trying to sell a new product.

I think its really cool and appropriate given the great 60s music available like Jefferson Airplane (soon), Stones, Bob Dylan, etc.

The Proctor & Gamble imprint is the sign of The Apocalypse. Uh-pok-el-lips. My upstairs neighbors—the ones I hated—have moved! My computer is well. It is well!

The SACD logo is recognizable, but I don't like it. It's just a bit too abstract for my tastes. However, I've been able to look past it and enjoy the music.

The SACD logo is terrible. It's barely readable. As you wrote Dennis you looked at it many times before even recognizing it.
Wanna see a cool logo? Check this one out:

There's plenty of 21st century drug art being created in the present day, can you dig it?

There's always the possibility that 21st or 23rd century drug art could of been created in 1966 after a heavy trip and after watching Star Trek or vice-versa in any possible timeline, redundantly, of course. I could proably make 60's drug art in this timeline but, unfortuneatly, present day drugs are weak and ineffective. However, I have been contemplating wheather or not to paint the Gatorade Can...
