Well Crow,
I was immediately attracted to the Logo. Of course everyone has their own idividiual reactions, but mine was somewhat inspiring. Im not sure how, but it brought warmth in me. I think its a great logo. I cant wait to see if they update the logo again on their next album.
Also a message to all those fans who say "I have an interstellar connection with Tool and maynard" and all that other bullshit. Look i respect the depth of your passion and all, but thats just going too far. Show yourself some respect, and stop pretending to be someone your not.
Oh yeah i like to tool logo..... where i am i again??
when i showed my mom the logo, she tried to read it (were arabic) and she actually thought it was a word. so i agree with it going for being middle eastern, or something of that sort. even in reflection that instrument sounds middle eastern styled.
Anyway, my brother bought a Tool hat with the new logo on it and one of his friends was like "whoa what a cool hat, I love the crown." We were wondering what he was talking about, and then we looked at the logo and realized it does resemble a crown. Which would mean the logo ties into the first track of the album, The Grudge.
So maybe that was Tool's intention, to create a logo that matches the album Lateralus, which leads me to believe we can expect another new logo with the next album.
[QUOTE=crow011] . . . it took me a while to get used to it, but i like it none-the-less . . .

I know you got drunk, broke into my house and shampooed my cats again. If this happens one more time I'm calling the police. I'm sick of this."
The division of Lateralus has a couple of possible meanings.
Notice how the bar joining the L to US in "LUS" is longer than the others, and the US part is lower down, leading to "Lateral-Us."
Also, the word Lateralus on the cover is divided into it's syllables - "LA" - "TE" - "RA" - "LUS." This, plus the nine eyes on the cover, leads to track 9-Lateralus - and the syllables could be a clue to discovering the Fibonacci sequence in the lyrics.
this really does expand my own tool listenings i spose
