Talk:Newbury Comics

Untitled
Regarding the photo of the "original" Newbury Comics - this photo is centered on a new addition to the store, which was actually Back Bay Bicycles until several years ago (circa 2002). The original Newbury Comics would have been the part in the red brick building, above Condom World, farther back in the picture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.219.233.4 (talk)


 * Actually, that isn't even the "original" Newbury Comics. It was a couple of blocks down the street. That photo is of the second Newbury Comics location —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.19.173.75 (talk)
 * The second location of the Newbury St. store, you mean. The company's second location was the one in Harvard Square (which was where Audio Lab is now). Closenplay 13:05, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

No mention of Modern Methor records
this page has a pretty crumby history. It only mentions that it was started by 2 MIT students in 1978. The guys who owed the store also rand a record label called Modern Method and also a music magazine called Boston Rock.

Anyways, I'm working on the Modern Method page and so far I've only got a discography, so please help if you can. I made a real page, Modern Method, but fearing it may be deleted, I've made a subpage in my profile if the regular page isn't working: User:Suzy creamcheese/Modern Method --Suzy creamcheese (talk) 19:37, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Origin of the Newbury Comics Logo
Years ago, I read a mainstream story (Boston Globe? NYT? Forbes? Ad Week? Real Paper? Phoenix? other?) about the creation of the now well known Newbury Comics logo. I think it was an interview with Dreese or Brusger or both and the tone was typical Dreese. He disdained the huge amounts of money some companies spend on their logos (might have been around the time that NBC came up with their "new" million dollar trapezoid N logo)*. Basically, Brusger drew the logo on a piece of paper with a crayon at a total cost of around 3 cents. I'll keep looking, but does anyone know the source of that story?

(* It turns out the NBC logo was already a registered trademark for some local TV station so NBC had to buy them out. When asked about the buyout and being told how much NBC marketing spent on creating and developing and approving the logo before discovering the conflict, I think the local station owner said his wife came up with their original version at the kitchen table with a piece of paper and a box of crayons at a cost of, about, 3 cents. See  Logo of NBC for some details.)
