“After seventy years, you would think this theatre would have given up and finally kicked the bucket but it’s still rock’n that good Hartford beat.”

the webster theatre opened in 1937 in
the southern end of Hartford, Connecticut.
Soon after the television was invented, the
attendance began steadily decreasing. In
1974 the theatre was sold and reintroduced
as a family film theatre, which unfortunately
was short lived and turned in to a showcase
for adult films. In 1986, the original founders
of the Webster revived the theatre with over
$50,000 to restore the carpeting, paint and to
purchase a new screen. Which at the time,
was the largest screen in the state at almost
17 x 34 inches. Unfortunately the attendance
was still not enough to keep the very poor
Webster alive as a movie theatre, and was
shortly thereafter closed and put up on the
market again. Many Hartford residents had
little hope for the Webster to ever redeem it’s
self as the theatre it had once hoped to be.

KEEP THE HARMONY
Allow appropriate room (x) around logo
X value represents the height of type
Keep dimensions at the same X ratio

It shouldn’t be too difficult to keep this logo in tact, leave it on the 355º angle and always have adequate spacing around him.

NO SCREWING UP
Don’t extend or retract any parts of the logo
Don’t change the font or weight of the word Webster
Don’t crop the logo or hide any side of it
Don’t rotate the logo any other way than original
Nothing says “what a shitty venue” like a logo that’s gone sour. Stick to these few guidlines and our logo will be lookin good as hell.

WHAT WE’RE SAYIN’A Professional look while having a damn good time. We’re here trying to have a blast too, so no need for fancy words, but keep it classy.
Speak to a friend, not a customer
Keep sentences short
Throw in quotes from famous musicians
Speak as the musician for forceful reminders
Speak as the crowd for friendly reminders
Abbreviate type to sound casual
Use words to keep everyone havin’ a good time
Swear, but only when appropriate
Enjoy the Show
Everyone out there better be havin’ good time!
How’s everyone doin’ tonight?
Hey, please keep the volume down outside
Listen buddy, you’re ruining the show, why don’t you get the hell out of here
Hell yeah! Rock on!
“If it’s illegal to rock and roll, throw my ass in jail” - Kurt Cobain
