Notice the MADHOUSE logo? It is interesting to think of Prince performing two shows every night.

Prince Postcard: Sign Of The Times Tour 1987
The 1987 release, Sign "O" the Times, was going to be a three-record release called the Crystal Ball. Warner Bros. stepped in and cut the album to two records of near perfection. At this point, Prince began struggling with the decline in his popularity after Purple Rain. When he toured in Europe to support the album, he recorded a concert film to promote the album.

I love the graphics and images from the Sign of the Times tour. Prince went with a fairly, simplistic logo design that hearkened to a 1960s revitalization. Color me peach and black. Color me taken aback.
