DC Entertainment reveals new Brand Identity

The rumored DC Comics Logo is real, and they've got mockups.

For the past week, there's been quite a buzz about a new logo coming from DC Entertainment that would make its way onto virtually everything and anything from the company (it's films, comics, toys, etc). Today, DC made it official - they're getting a new brand identity, beginning this March.

Designed by Landor Associates, the new identity was devised to take advantage of DC's vast array of products, giving it a unique look fitting for each. "It was our goal to capture DC Entertainment in a dynamic and provocative identity.  Our solution is a living expression which changes and adapts to the characters, story lines and the ways fans are consuming content. The new identity is built for the digital age, and can easily be animated and customized to take full advantage of the interactivity offered across all media platforms,” explains Nicolas Aparicio, Executive Creative Director at Landor in San Francisco.

Supposedly, in some cases, people will actually be able to peel back the logo (on your PC, smart phone, tablet, etc). 

With the reveal, they released a few mockups along with some of the variations the logo will be used for. What do you think? Chime in with your thoughts below.

    I would have to see it in an interactive environment to judge it there, but as a still logo (which, let's face it, is what DC Comics is primarily working in), it lacks the identifiable nature of the DC Bullet, or the dynamic of the DC Swirl. To be honest (and this is coming from a former graphic artist who still keeps his hand in it), the logo looks like something whipped up at the last minute in Paint Shop Pro.

    Indeed, ChyronDave. What's most interesting to me is the fact that they're touting this one as being interactive and versatile. Yet, they did the same thing with the DC Swirl in the movie-verse. It was often recolored and placed in thematic backdrops to change the mood. See The Dark Knight trailer or even Green Lantern. In GL, it was green and glowing.

    Bad design idea here. The logo looks like you peel away the shitty top lair to get to the barely distinguishable good stuff below. Face palm your self DC, you deserve it.

    We do a podcast over at www.completelycomics.com and talked about the new DC logo at length. We are split on if we like it or not. While it might take some getting used to, it does have applications in the comic and on the large/small screen.
