The Bullet logo is gone forever, say hello to the new one:

ABOUT TIME!

They've had the old one forever.

Time to make a joke about how that logo is set up.

Oh morning star, how your light has fallen.  :lol:

Since the star of that logo is at the bottom of the its arc, the proper translation of that Bible quote seems appropriate.

It looks like a freeze frame from an animated logo.  The star will spiral around the DC.  Great logo for movies and cartoons

Specifically, it looks to me like the old Hanna-Barbera logo (the "swirling star" version from the 70's and 80's).

Still didn't see what was wrong with the "DC Bullet"... I liked that one...

How does this design rank up against the old "bullet"?

I'll give this new logo one out of four stars...   :wink:

The logo and that cover just reminds me of Disco Music, and no that is not a good thing.

Ah I miss the  Superman DC Comic bullet logo.

Not bad tho - wish the insides of modern comix looked as good.  :roll:

As usual, Tom Spurgeon (http://www.comicsreporter.com/index.php/dc_to_start_using_new_logo/) has the best quote:
"It does sort of look like a pro Ultimate Frisbee team logo, I have to admit: "The DC Whammos.""

Myself, I still miss the old silver age one.



Mark Evanier (http://www.newsfromme.com/archives/2005_05_09.html#009850) compares them.

Can't decide if the Wonder Girl costume looks more like Dazzler or Ms Mystic?

This new ballclub has the right idea - traditional AND modern.

Hmm.

I suppose you could be right.

Off-topic: Is Donna's costume a hand-me-down from Star Boy? :lol:

On-topic: I still prefer the plain ol' DC-in-a-circle logo, circa 1973...

It really goes good with the 20c price, too!

I remember really disliking the DC "stars" logo when it was introduced in the 70s ("The DC Line of Super-Stars!").  Even in an age of bell-bottoms and sideburns it seemed cheesy and lame.

Over time I got used to it but never did love it.  That said, the new one's not much better.

I think the era I liked best was early Bronze Age, when they had no logo at all, just a tiny little "DC" they worked into logos for the individual books.  Like this:

Back then I bought comics based on quality, not brand loyalty.  These days I suppose they have to put a logo on the books because otherwise the offerings of DC and Marvel are nearly identical.  In fact, I could use a few more helpful symbols.  For example, the way most of these guys draw, it would be useful to have a big arrow that says, "This is a picture of Superman."

All in all, I don't dislike the logo. The only thing I'd change is I'd place the star at the top rather than the bottom.

Oh I don't know, I think it kind of fits:

"DC...we've got one star left, and we've just about run him into the ground, too!"

Sadly, all too true.

They might be making a turn around with Green Lantern: Rebirth; but with the Countdown to Infinite Crisis, I tend to doubt it

I, personally, can accept change and I've enjoyed every DC logo. Until now, that is.

I just don't like it. Why? No particular reason, I just don't. Still, I can learn to live with it.
