Hamilton logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Meaning and history The musical premiered on January 20, 2015, in The Public Theater in New York City.
- As of June 2019, tickets were sold for up to $1,800.
- Emblem The Hamilton logo depicts the main hero, Alexander Hamilton, standing in a triumphant pose on a star with its top point cut.
- Versions of the symbol This type of logo can be easily adapted to various backgrounds – the feature often used to create special versions of the poster.
- You can also find a series of posters that were rejected and didn’t make it out to Broadway.
- They were published in the book On Broadway: From Rent to Revolution (2016).
- One of the versions features just an ink stain, which can be broken down into meaningful elements with the figure of Hamilton in the center.
- On the whole, we can say that the final version appears to be a perfect balance between the number of details and implied meaning.
- Font The official poster combines two absolutely different types.
- To begin with, the one used for the second line looks more elongated and is a sans serif font, while the letters of the first line are broader and belong to a serif font.
- The word “Hamilton” probably features the Trajan font.
- The type known for its retro elegance was developed in 1989 by Carol Twombly for Adobe.
- We can assume that an old style serif font was used for the name of the main hero to fit the plot of the musical, which is set in 18th-century America.
- Due to the gradient effect, the poster features various shades of gold, from rather dark and gloomy, to light semi-transparent ones.
