Review Logo for Hurrah Players

Hello,
I am ROCCO WILSON and my company is "SignShip" and I do Distinctive Signage along with Logos & Designs. I lettered my first sign in 1975 on the window of a Texaco gas station.

This is my logo design for Hurrah Players that I did in the 2002-2003 timeframe.

I include a special directive that states:

I require that anyone involved in the reproduction of this logo, be sensitive to the design integrity of these logos. ANY resizing should be done as proportional scaling and not by condensing or extending. The print area ratio should be considered secondary to preserving the logo design ratio.

This may go without saying, but I have found a trend in the mishandling of artwork with the tendency to "force" the image into the desired printable space without any consideration to the integrity of the design.

I attribute this to the accessibility of graphics software to untrained and non-artist computer operators that may not understand the ramifications of manipulating designs and the Copyright Laws that protect it.

The stars in this logo are a very important level that requires this adherence to this directive.

I would like to hear from ALL of you, the young & old, about this logo.

I will submit many other logos for your consideration and professional response in the near future.

Sincerely,
Rocco

Now what do I do with this knowledge you have presented.
I have a grandson named Rocco, named after my wife's great uncle, Rocco Tozzo, lightweight champion of the world in 1925.

My father named me after a boxer named Thomas Rocco Barbella, better known as Rocky Graziano.

Is this a question, or a PSA or.... ? I think I'm missing the purpose of this thread.

"Public Service Announcement", is that the PSA that you are referring? No, just look at the "Public Service Attachment", my PSA, and a post to ask what you think of my logo?

Looks like a playbill advertisement to me.

Also, why did YOU play around with the stars weights ?? Isn't that what your directive states ??

Oh, you're looking for consultation on a logo you made 20 years ago. Ok, I think it's... Meh. Outdated (even 20 years ago), plain, and no idea what the hurrah players is, so it's also vague. Is that what you're looking for?
Or... By stating all your rules and guidelines, you want us to recreate it for you? Most people charge for that. You're new, so I'll wave my design consultation fee.

The fonts are a bit inconsistent but I'd give it an A- and leave out the rules. Customer pays you to make them a logo, they can stretch, squeeze, flip, distort or do whatever they want with it once the check clears.

I reread the post and he asking for our opinions.
It looks like a poster in the lobby of a gambling casino. The stars need some birds added to give it a guy after getting beat up in a cartoon.
More 50s look and not new and modern.

Hurrah Players sounds like a strip joint on the south side.

I'm not a fan. The text is tall and skinny.. and the same weight as the starts. Hard to look at and make any sense. Looks like something from the olden days. What is hurrah players? what's the context here?

Maybe we are supposed to vote on one of the four variants in the attachment?
They aren't different enough from each other to qualify as four separate options. It's just The same logo used in different overall shape.... Like we do when creating signs in different shapes and sizes and purposes.

Why ? You made it 20 years ago and the company have been using it ever since. They are obviously happy with it?
If a company have been using a logo for 20 years then you can be confident they are 100% happy with it and you fulfilled the design brief they gave you.

Still not sure what all the stuff about not resizing and respecting the integrity means? What do you expect us to do with it? Why would we want to reproduce it?
