- DC Comics is one of the first major comics company dating back to 1934. DC means Detective Comics. There has been many changes to their logo since then. The original first traces back to 1935. It was a simple circle with text around the inside. It read "A DC publication".
- In 1941, Superman had become phenomenally successful which cause DC to rename their logo to "Super Mans National Comics" with DC in the middle of the circle.
- Throughout 1940-1970, DC mainly kept the Logo the same with slight color variations. There no significant change until 1970. In 1970, they tried to capitalize further on sales popularity of Superman. They put a picture of Superman flying as their logo with a caption under that read DC Superman.
- In 1976, they changed their Logo again similar to the original designs. It was just Blue circle with the DC reading in the middle. There were also white stars on the sides of the circle. This was designed by Milton Glaser/ The logo was referred to as "The Bullet". It was the longest lasting logo in the companies history lasting from 1976-2005.
- The latest DC logo was in 2005. It is a star rotating around the DC lettering. It echoes the companies new momentum. It was created by Josh Beatmen of Brainchild Studios. And acknowledges that they are still moving forward. It marks the visual legacy of the companies logo. It is called the DC spin.
