Superman logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Meaning and history Most of the logo alterations took placed during the first years of its existence.
- Here, the Superman appears with a yellow shield, inside which a red “S” is placed.
- 1939 – 1940 The version of the logo that appeared in the first Superman film the following year featured the same inverted triangle, while the plump “S” was replaced by a leaner one.
- March 1940 – 1946 The Superman #4, which came on screen in 1940, had a logo with a completely different color scheme featuring black, red, and white.
- It was almost the emblem from 1939, but with both the background and the framing in yellow, and the red “S” emboldened and redrawn in a massive geometric serif typeface.
- 1941 – 1943 Since 1941, Superman’s chest logo has been modified more than 15 times.
- It was executed in lighter shades of yellow and red, and the contours of the “S” were refined and emboldened.
- 1944 A bit later in the same year, the badge was refined again.
- The “S” became lighter, so more yellow was used for the emblem, hence the badge looked more eye-catching and energetic.
- 1986 – 1993 For the logo used from 1986 to 1993, the black outline was removed and the color palette got back to the version from the 1960s.
- However, the letter “S” was still hardly discernible for anyone who was not in the know.
- The changes in the color scheme, as well as the shape of the emblem, were connected with the new Superman costumes and powers.
- 1998 – 2009 2001 – 2002 The dramatic black and red color palette from 1996 came back to the Superman logo in 2001.
- This time it was an iconic crest with all the elements featuring the classic shapes and style, the pentagonal framing, and the bold serif “S” in red, placed on a plain black background of the emblem.
- 2011 The redesign of 2011 made the contours of the Superman badge cleaner and sharper, and its color palette — brighter and more delightful.
- The background of the triangular crest gained a very light, almost cream, yellow shade, while the iconic “S” and the framing were still set in dark red, close to burgundy.
