Goodbye, DC Bullet
May. 9th, 2005 04:42 pmIn case you missed it, here is DC Comics's new logo (or at elast a link to a stroy featuring the logo)...

And let me say, "eh." It's not bad, it's not good. It's just eh.
Whereas the DC Bullet, the logo they've used pretty much my entire comic book reading life, is a classic.
Yes, it's being replaced as part of a rebaranding strategy, and from a marketing POV, that makes sense. Yes, the quality of a comic book (or lack thereof) is not determined by a logo.
But if you have to replace a logo, you'd better have something better. DC doesn't.
I bet the old logo is back in two years.
