I wish I had a Mann theatre here so I could have a better idea of what it is
I'm trying to improve upon. Actually, if we're supposed to make an
incredible flying logo for Mann Theatres, I wouldn't necessarily want to
take the idea they're currently using and just use better effects for
it...that wouldn't be any fun...
Maybe you could clue us in on one thing: What font do they use for their
name? If we've got a chance to really replace the existing one, they will
probably want to make sure that it matches their other (i.e. printed) logo
