DC Comics Got A New Logo
On May 9th, DC Comics unveiled their new logo to the comic world. I’m not too much a fan of comics although I grew up reading quite abit but I much prefer the older version. It was designed in 1976 by Milton Glaser - the same guy who brought us the famous “I heart NY” logo.
What’s interesting is the interview with Richard Burning, VP and Creative Director of DC Comics on the creative process behind the logo. Although the “DC” looks like it’s going to be eaten up by the oval which looks like Marvel’s shield for Captain America, the logo does satisfy what DC wanted in their new logo. I don’t know, maybe the logo will grow onto me, especially with all the hype around Batman Begins.
