Funny Ad For DC's New Logo Parodies The Fan Backlash

Patrick Willems has come up with this pretty funny short, advertising DC's rather unpopular new logo while taking a poke at the rabid fan negativity it's received..

The fan reaction to DC Comics' new logo has gone from seething hate, to pissed off acceptance to "Hmm, that's not too bad actually". Since we have seen it in context as it might look on some actual comic covers etc there is no doubt that more fans have accepted it. But I think the majority are still a bit underwhelmed to say the least. This short film/advert for the new logo was made for Bleeding Cool by Patrick Willems, and I think no matter where you stand on things, it's pretty damn funny!..

i remember being upset when the current logo came out a few years back, I actually like it better than the one before it. I think the new one is just not needed though

You'll get used to it in a few years? What if the Allies said the same thing when Fascism arose in Germany and Italy?!?!?

Good ending. :) I hated the black and white picture released first, but once I saw the color versions, I was fine with it.

Is there any DC character that the guy could be a parody of? All I see in the vid is Hulk which makes the vid a huge failure, IMO.

Seriously, did you just compare DC's logo chages to several of the worst war crimes of the 20th Century?

That's one of the worst comparisons I've ever read on the net.

People are worried to see the logo in the movies... then CLOSE YOUR EYES FOR 5 SECONDS.

The logo isn't anything special, but it don't get how it can affect people so much. I guess I care more about watching the movie or reading the comic.

The logo reminds me of:

@Gunsmith: it looks like a random piece of paper peeling to reveal a letter C. Of course, in the mock-ups they released where they put Joker & Superman in the logo, you can't recognize the C either.

I like that it's sleek and simple, but it doesn't represent the company or what they do AT ALL. Both of the previous logo felt like something from the world of fantasy.
