Past logos I like the bullet logos, but I remember/grew up with the 1972, 1974 and 1976 logos. Last edited May 18, 2016 9:49:35 am "Disliking everything is not the same thing as having an opinion"

I don't see the "Trinity" influence Jim Lee was referring to on the new logo but that's probably just me. The new logo doesn't get met to say, "oh that looks like superman".
StillOnly35Cents Teacher Location: Charlotte, NC Posts: 288 My Collection	Posted: May 18, 2016 1:19:20 pm I like this logo. I've liked the last few, also. But, when I was a kid I thought that 1976 logo was old fashioned. (My first comics were all Marvels and I didn't really appreciate DC until I became an adult.) That 1974 one is the best and I can imagine it being on the side of a pair of Chuck Taylors! Visit Still Only 35 Cents at https://www.ebay.com/usr/stillonly35cents!

I do like that they went back to Silver Age DC for inspiration. For me the 1976 version is the one I will remember most. The 2005 version was fun and I think it really did look great on covers.

I'm not a fan of the new logo but it would never stop me from buying a Legion of Super Heroes book nor a Metal Men one for that matter! Tenzil
GenesisDay07 Teacher Location: South Africa, Cape Town Posts: 307 My Collection	Posted: May 24, 2016 8:30:21 am I basically grew up with the 1976 version and it'll probably always be a favourite however, I also liked the 2005 version. I'm not sure how I feel about the new one yet, but then again it doesn't really make that much of a difference to me. You can see that it is basically a replica of the 1972 logo which is probably holding true to them taking a page from the past with the "re-launch".
