What's the story behind MP's comment Under Charlie's post saying the logo isn't the "correct" one since he left the band? (Not sure why MP would feel the need to bring that up the way he did but I guess that's just the way it is with MP these days.)
I don't blame MP one iota for bringing it up. Here is the thing about MP. The guy is an uber fanboy of music and bands he loves, and as anal as he is regarding his music and film collection, he was just as anal about all the small details regarding Dream Theater. If MP was in charge of all the merch, and art direction and all of that, then it is obvious he spent time making sure that the logo and all the stuff related to the band were EXACTLY how they should be -- and he was proud of that attention to detail. And he should be.
Him bringing up that the DT symbol is now incorrect just further shows how proud he is of the work he did, and how disappointed that some of the stuff he made sure was perfect is not being paid attention to by the band.
As a fan, I really appreciate the fact MP cared enough to do all that. The symbol, the art in general, the Ytsejam releases, the holiday shows, the Christmas CDs, the rotating setlists -- all that stuff made Dream Theater one of the premier "fan friendly" bands in the world. Nowadays, Dream Theater is much more sterile when it comes to all of that, which takes away some of the charm, and passion.
Now that MP brought that up about the symbol, I can't unsee it...
