The logo I chose for my report was the DC Logo (comics). The original Logo for the new comics was created in 1940 and the letters, DC stood for "Detective Comics" as homage to their first successful Batman series. The original logo was a circular and said, "A DC Publication and had no background.
For many years the logo kept changing, in 1941 they changed the logo so that it said superman that way they would advertise the detective comics as well as their new superstar character, superman.
They continued this until 1970 when they began to add their characters into their logos hoping to attract more readers.
They simplified it again in 1972 and in 1974 the added "The line of superstars"
In 1976 they finally designed the "Bullet Logo"which they stuck with for almost 30 years.
Then in 2005 they changed it to what a lot of angry people called, "The Toothpaste Logo."
In 2012 the Logo was redesigned to what is most commonly known. The new logo still had the DC on it like the original logos but this time the D would be drawn to look like a page turning to reveal a C.
The current logo looks very similar to this but is changed to be black white and silver
