DC applied for a new logo trademark recently, to much internet dismay. The new DC "peel" logo as some call it may be closer to its debut then we think.
Rich Johnston over at Bleeding Cool, who reported the new logo wrote this morning that a relatively reliable source close to DC Comics said that the new logo was announced to DC Comics staff in New York last week. Johnston stated:
"I’m told that the consensus is that the logo works well as an animated item, but less well as a static logo, that might appear on printed books, signage and the like. And certain editors more committed to print, found themselves in an usual alliance against the new logo. I’m told that that the plan (at least it was, last week) is to announce it very vocally, visibly, animatedly and colourfully, on Wednesday this week."
The new logo, still not released in any sort of color version, may be out tomorrow in a couple of forms if this report is true although it seems unlikely that it will appear on the cover of DC comics this month. It looks like DC may be going ahead despite much criticism from all forms of fandom and DC employees alike. A couple of polls on this site showed how much of us felt about it. Now that it seems more likely then many thought how do you feel? Do you think you'll change your mind when you see it on your next comic book purchase? Do you think we could see it before
