Henson.com's New Look & "Henson Alternative"

[frogboy4]

It appears henson.com has re-launched with a slighly new look. It's an improvement with room for tweaks here and there. I'd just like to see more content.

Puppet Up and Tinseltown seem to be getting the most press here. And the company is using the old "ha!" Henson Associates logo for Henson Alternative. Apparently it's a new (and much-needed) banner for material intended for mature audiences. Does anyone have any thoughts about the use of the classic logo (a big part of my childhood) being used for this new venture?

While it's no surprise that I'm disapointed at what's going on with the muppets, it looks like Henson's rockin' and rollin' with multiple projects. Nice to get confirmation those figures are a Henson product. As a website, not the most exciting thing out there, but we sure have a lot of stuff on their to be excited about.

Tinsletown looks pretty much the edgiest thing I've seen come out of that company. And I always knew that about Howard Hog...

So far so good there.

It looks pretty!
Simplistic too!

The site is very nice, and I like the fact that they have a whole section on the Muppets. They don't say too much about the Muppets, but it is nice to see them acknowledged and not ignored like the last incarnation of henson.com did.

I agree, it's nice to see the Muppets more than just referenced on the Henson site. The same with Sesame etc. I know that the company rights for different Henson properties have changed, but now it seems there is a sense of history and pride in their Muppetty family.

It also seems that Disney is having a nice working relationship with Henson - especially with the legacy running exibits that contain lots of Muppet stuff (and titled Muppet things too).

It's also nice to see that ha! logo again. However, i feel the work it brands has quite a lot to live up to!

Tinseltown looks fantastic, although i'm not too sure of the puppet/human mix in a sitcom. It's been done great before, but that was the 80's mainly - be nice to see a puppet "world" of characters. Eitherway i can't wait to see it though.

And yes, its great to see the Muppets being acknowledged on the site - it seems they have worked out some kinda relationship to use them so thats nice. Just wish Disney would actually use them, lol.

Yeah! I really like the new look!
