# The new DC logo.

When the linkedin newsletter arrived right before the b3ta newsletter in my inbox today (well done b3ta for knowing your audience), I couldn't help notice the feature on the new DC logo. And could't help 'shopping the first thing it made me think of. Did DC think this through?

# what is linkedin?
i went there once to see if it was worth signing up, but the homepage and non-logged-in pages gave me absolutely no idea about what it actually was

# It's short for "Link Edin"
It's a popular chain making company based in Edinburgh.

Brass chains, steel chains, gold chains, daisy chains, you name it, they'll make it.

# It's a social network for working professionals
It's all a bit dull, because everybody is trying to look all professional and shit. So no CDCs.

# what did it make you think of?
also, I love the new DC logos, not as good as the original bullets/barrel one, but much better than the last one.

# It makes sense and show a nice bit of design and thought
but it looks more like wilting than page turning...
Enjoying the reboots?

# only read a couple, heard good things about a few, but not that massive a fan of the words, just the pictures
Animal Man is meant to be a bit awesome but I haven't picked it up

# I am giving The Flash and Batgirl a spin
but I hadn't read a comic since the Beano in the 80s, so I guess this reboot was aimed at me. I prefer the silver age art :)

# my mate Lee redesigned Batgirl's costume to be the purpley one
is it still that?

Supergirl is really quite well done now too

# Is Lee still hitting the Marvel/DC pages?
Fair play to him, if so - it was always gonna happen.

Right next to all the pictures you've ever drawn for me.

# It has changed again
The last series was only running for about a year before the reboot. Its the same scheme, but just the cape having a purple lining.
Sweet stuff.

# *Googles* Oooh, I do like the new DC logo. Clever bit of design there.
The only criticism I have with it is, it's too simple. With DC comics, you expect a more visual logo.

# This, I have to agree with.
It reminds me of when Rare changed their logo, if they actually went through with it. I hate it when companies think bland shapes = good design.

As Captain Howdy points out down there, I like how they've customized the logo for the various DC characters. Wise move, for what is quite a dull logo, especially for a comic book company.

# They jazz it up for individual characters..
.. Batman's logo has mist sweeping out from under it, Green Lantern's has a lovely glowing 'C', and The Flash has a burning/sparkling 'C'.
