The earliest version of this I can remember is the one with "Superman Comics" around the perimeter. In the early '70s it was "The Line Of DC Super-Stars," and the bullet came in around 1977 or so. That was also around the same time the company officially changed its name from "National Periodical Publications" to "DC Comics Inc.," I think.<br /><br />I don't know what the alternative to the bullet would be. The blocky letters inside the thick circle with the four stars just seems so generic that anything else would almost be too flashy.Tom Bonduranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07209820912557263080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963510.post-1097694505299590922004-10-13T15:08:00.000-04:002004-10-13T15:08:00.000-04:00Bah.

Look at Marvel, which must've changed their corner/cover logos fifty times in the past 20 years. Sometimes consistency is a good thing.Nikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817525516356141103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963510.post-1097610210774897252004-10-12T15:43:00.000-04:002004-10-12T15:43:00.000-04:00I say keep the bullet.

Besides, branding and recognizability makes a huge difference. People know the logo now. It would be like McD's changing from the arches to a tetrahedron. It can be updated, but keep the bullet.Hate Filled Posterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00965492342916144479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963510.post-1097603841405572382004-10-12T13:57:00.000-04:002004-10-12T13:57:00.000-04:00I love that "DC TV" logo used on the later issues ...I love that "DC TV" logo used on the later issues of the KOTTER comic (and, as I recall, SUPER-FRIENDS, SHAZAM and some other books of the era).<br /><br />I don't agree that they should change the logo. Especially not if it'll be done by the people who do a lot of DC's newer design (some of those awful Wildstorm logos, the bland Vertigo designs, that new Johnny DC used for the kids books).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
