Hey everyone. I was looking at tattoo ideas and I came across http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/cgackt/DSCF0327.jpg

I used to visit scape a lot back in the day, but it took someone on Reddit to point out that that same logo is part of this site's design. Does anyone know the source of the logo? Was it made for the scape mainpage, or does it exist in the depths of Malice Mizer that I don't remember?

It was on the old Malice Mizer official webpage, that's where we cribbed it from. I think we had a thread about trying to find the true origin of that design, but I don't remember if there was a conclusion. It might have been borrowed from Mylene Farmer XD

Definitely this could be from Mylene Farmer (I am quite a big fan of her and listen to her music for more than 10 years now). I could check on my cds when I go back in Belgium this december :)

So Scape got it from the MM website, and MM presumably got it from Mylene Farmer?

I've been looking at ideas for simplistic MM tattoos, but I don't really like text tattoos (so Malice Mizer in that distinctive font is kind of out of the question). I'm unsure if this makes me more or less okay with the idea lol.

Yes, it was the fanclub symbol.
But a friend of mine found it on a Mylene Farmer single that dated to before the Malice fanclub existed.
The info was on her site 15 years ago. I don't think it exists now (or that she would remember).

So. I looked up Mylene Farmer, and she apparently has a single called Sans Logique. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sans_logique

Yes, she has a single called 'sans logique' a nice one. I don't have the single itself so I could not check for the logo(I have the album "Ainsi soit je", really good one the title song is one of my favorite).

But, yes clearly MM has some inspiration from MF <3

"Ainsi soit je"
On the topic of Mylene Farmer ripoffs, there was actually a VK band called that back in 1996 or so. I have no idea if they were any good XD

Learn something new every day I guess. 'Borrowed' or not, still leaning towards getting it as a tattoo...
