quietcity Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Logo looks GREAT! Will have to buy a tee! Actually, from a graphic design point of view, I have a lot of issues with this. In addition to the afore-mentioned lettering weirdness, I note: busy and cluttered lay-out; odd and subdued color palette; discordant use of a photo (eyes) hovering over the simple 2-D buildings; the shimmering water effect at bottom (signifying what?). And what's with all the minarets? Come on SCV, you gotta up your graphics game! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos001 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 That's interesting! Though doesn't Scheherezade sort of repeat the same theme over and over though? Like a sort of new story being told a thousand times? :-) lol. the subtitle of the show is "Words 2 Live By." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Maybe it's a hint - they are going to play the music backwards... Maybe it's a hint - they are going to play the music backwards... haha!... if they did they'd have to call it " Edazarehehcs... live by 2 words.

And what's with all the minarets? Come on SCV, you gotta up your graphics game! I completely agree. I am a huge SCV fan, but I have seldom liked the design of their merchandise. From a design standpoint, it's a big old mess. So weird from a corps that has had some of the best visual designers in the business. Do they just cheap out the merch design? Honestly, their stuff typically looks to me like someone in-house with an outdated copy of Publisher threw it together. I still buy it cuz I love and want to support the corps, but I'd like to see something with some actual design value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeD Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Truth be told, I am a bit torn over SCV's selection of Scheherazade. On the plus side, the work is a perfect match for SCV's style. Scheherazade is a luscious piece of music, and if you have never heard the original in it's entirety, you owe it to yourself to do so right now (preferably with a high resolution recording, using good headphones or stereo gear). Rimsky-Korsakov is a superlative orchestrator, up there with Ottorino Respighi. Scheherazade is ear-candy from beginning to end, and spell-binding throughout. Can't disagree with that! I just played he original with the Sinfonietta Nova orchestra here in NJ. An amazing piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flammaster Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 so I guess this will be the sequel to the 04 show. After her 1001 night trial. I really am excited about this! I have a very soft spot for SCV and always have. http://www.gaminnet.info/?p=2364 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmathis Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 About to go watch them practice... What did you think? I haven't heard anything about this show aside from the original announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
