01The take

Season 8.

Logo's last produced season, and its most visually finished. A smaller, glossier cast and a runway-forward edit that previews the scale VH1 would soon bring.

02The shape of the season

A rhythm worth tracking.

The most polished season Logo produced before handing off to VH1. Season 8 runs a tighter, glossier cast and leans the edit toward the runway, previewing the production scale the network move would bring. RuPaul Charles and Michelle Visage anchor the panel. The craft is consistently high and the season looks expensive for the era, but the workroom runs smoother and less combustible than the franchise's hottest years. A handsome bridge: strong to look at, low on friction.
