I guess we should have seen this title coming, lol.

loved the cross ;p time for avex to WAKE UP!

the fonts are crazy LOL
futura and i dunno what

interesting hmm..wonder why this was chosen

Looks so much religion influence to me..

i dislike the ayumi hamasaki font.
the cross reminds me of her cross in CDL0506~

the "ayumi hamasaki" font is deffinitelly the one they used on FIVE. And it just doesn't fit there....as usually lol

for some crosses = religion for others - fashion and just a symbol. *shrugs*

THE QUEEN FINALLY WAKES UP AFTER HER LONG "SLEEP"


BRACE YOURSELVES. THINGS MIGHT BE TOO EPIC TO HANDLE THIS 2013 (A CLASSICAL is one epic release omg) :luv2

Interesting and unexpected logo, but I like it!

true :thud

but really I saw this on FB my first thought: IT IS A FAN MADE LOGO!! :o:headache

whats with the super cheesy font and that "Ayumi Hamasaki" font is the worst :no and the cross is like something of her Asia Tour logo,whatever the logo is kinda a mess and rush work for me. :irked

Wake up wake up~

Something tells me Ayu put this together herself, haha.

HAHAH!!! that would be funny lol XD
im sure the cross will make its comeback :D
and it'll be epic again

Yes it is very religion influenced, cause it is not just a cross, but the A logo is actually carrying the cross on its back. (you can see it's arms behind the cross)

Love it :) so excited i can't wait to go!!

I want to see a resurrection of Ayu when the concert starts.

It's kind of funny I think. "~wake up~ ayumi hamasaki". It's just asking to be punned to death in the concert reviews. :)

The logo with the A carrying the cross on its back is really interesting.

Best logo design in years.

Awesome!!! I wanna see goods!!!

the fonts are really messed up though, LOL why so many!? (I just noticed that the 2012-2013 are a different font)

^ I don't believe they are. You can clearly see the two and and the zero are the same and that the serifs follow the same structure.

They are different from the COUNTDOWN LIVE font and the font used for Ayu's name, if that is what you were implying.

I really like this CDL title^^

Something fresh sounding♥

I thought the same thing! Ugh, this looks... Wow... Idek.

Oh yes. I mean they are different from COUNTDOWN LIVE and ayumi hamasaki,

Logo desig = Pure win

Fonts = dafaq

hmm...interesting

don't like the Logo and I'm exciting for the Theme

I love the cross.
Simple but nice logo.
Now I hope we'll see something else than leopard print for goodies

resurrection for her 15th anniversary..cool concept..:lech

Great logo!

love it:)

SO MUCH BETTER THAN HOTEL LOVE SONGS LOGO

I like it!!
cant wait for a set list!

ayu has to wake up after 15 bloody years with avex.. hmm cool concept! i like it!

I hope the opening song will be same as AT 2006 ~(m)u~, Are You Wake Up?

I'm not mad at the logo at all. The A actually carrying the cross is quite interesting. The cross also resembles a bit to her cross necklace in M PV. Maybe this CDL might have some nice mix of old and new. Somewhat like CDL09-10. Yes please. That was a great mix of old and new.

I can see the start of the concert now:

01. Are You Wake Up?
02. Wake me up

:D

i like the title but the logo doesnt do me

Wake me up should totally be done after midnight when she says she has about snother 2 hours planned! Lol.

oi! I love this logo alot!

exactly! haha~

Perhaps insomnia will come along halfway XD

Best logo in ages

The title quite disappointed me. I hoped for something great like PCDL :P

If she does a pcdl it will be next year look at the title of the cdl 2007/2008

*o* Amazing!!!!
I hope for something like PCDL *----*

I know it's been said before but it looks fanmade. Obviously the cross will come back somewhere in the concert which I'm looking forward to but I'm hoping the design (and font) looks more refined on merchandise.

If nothing else, the logo is intriguing, especially how the A is carrying the cross. It makes me want to see what she has in store for the concert.

Love the logo and the A carrying the cross is so symbolic. I don't mind the fonts at all, although maybe a gothic-style one would have suited the concept more closely?

Don't like it because of the cross.

the logo is ok...the only thing i really don't care for is how the ends of the A's arms are hidden. it makes it look kind of weird to me.

Kiss o' Kill from Asia tour 2007(A bit unsure if it was 2007) is one of my favorite performances, and that was the one with the cross at the top of the stage. If this CDL is going to be anything close to it; I will be SO HAPPY and at the same time wish I was at the CDL12-13 than CDL11-12 :(

She re-used that cross during Ladies Night performances at CDL/AT ~Hotel love songs~.

Btw, I really like the new logo, but as number of people said, 3 different fonts for one single logo is too much.

Should we expect Endless Sorrow or kiss o' kill across this year on show? :p

ENDLESS SORROW +W+ !!!


Wake me up before you go go~
I'm sorry I had it.

I'm not really fond of the logo, it looks a bit mess.

One of my favorites song !!! in my top 3 :love

If she does Endless sorrow, I hope it won't be as messy (vocally) as the CDL 10-11 ~do it again~'s performance ...
In the TV version, it was such a slaughtery that my ears bled x___x

I really hope we get a good mix of songs!

As a graphic designer, that logo makes me want to cry.

I really dislike the A with the cross.

If she had access to this forum I bet her cross would be even bigger on the logo... x_x

Hopefully she will do her epicness, standing in front of a cross styled like that.

If she had access to this forum she might actually have some taste.

If taste means releasing only albums made of summer and winter tracks, releasing a overload of singles, promissing being single for the rest of her life and singing like a chimpmunk I would agree =)...

:P

Chipmunk Ayu forever.

Pretty sure there isn't a whole lot of deep meaning in the logo. Christian religious symbols aren't as laden with symbolism and all that connotation in Japan as they are in Western culture.

... 'Cause I'm not plannin' on goin' solo ♪

In my opinion, the logo's "disputable" by my standards...

I love this fan logo: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2026672838

haha fanmade pics are always better LOL.
but i still love the concept that "A" carrying the cross on the original logo.

I still have this feeling that Ayu may have designed it herself, aha. (she did the 'design' on FIVE too, remember)

i like the logo design. but not the font for her name. soo out of place

Whoever made it needs a spank in the pixels, because the logo is uneven. (￣ﾍ￣)

I can definitely see that aspect for sure, religion. and since I've seen that font used in a church brochure I went to recently with my dad's side of the family.

I thought it was fan made to... It's not very good... But I like the A logo x cross idea.

Now that is beautiful. Ayu should get some tips from her fans.

I actually really do not like that fan logo since it suffers the same problems as the 'original' logo just with different fonts and a weirder looking cross image.

Love the logo. Really feeling it!
Dislike the 'ayumi hamasaki' font though. Doesn't look right to me at all. Oh well!

the fan logo is just... too much..
and I dont think the A is carrying the cross, but more as the two are one.

This is Ayu's concert, not some bad pseudo-gothic shonen manga... that fanmade logo is hideous.

made made logo makes me feel like im going to some screamo concert to be screamed at... turn off >.> its TOOO much

I like it pretty much :)

not adoring the cross but loving the writings, thanks

rofl so true :laugh

Again, I like the logo, the only problem is that fonts mess

terrible font, but that's to be expected these days.

Love the cross, I hope it makes a comeback!
It looks like the MDNA Cross. lol

Interesting. About that cross or resurrection thingy, maybe it was something like Lana's Radio lyric.
'Their heavy words can’t
bring me down
Boy I've been raised from
the dead'
Heavy words about her relationship or so. Just my wild fantasy.

The logo is super cool.
