Supergirl logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Meaning and history The Supergirl logo has been always influenced by the emblem of Superman.
- 1959 – 1986 Kara Zor-El as Supergirl first appeared in Action Comics #252 (1959).
- The character was the result of the collaboration between Otto Binder and Al Plastino.
- The original version of Supergirl’s emblem copies Superman’s emblem of the same period (it was introduced in 1955 and used until 1986).
- Due to the black border, the design got more depth.
- The angle between the upper and lower sides became sharper.
- On the whole, this version looked sharper, edgier.
- Yet, here, the angles between the lower and upper sides of the diamond are sharper, while the sides are straight, which makes the logo similar to the alternative emblem introduced in 1977.
- 2011 – 2016 The New 52 comics of this period featured an even edgier version.
- Not only the diamond looked angular but the “S” as well due to its sharp ends and straightened sides.
- Alternative versions (other media) 1984 (the movie with Helen Slater) The shape of the “S” in this version was smoother.
- This could be partly explained by the fact that, in a movie, you typically see the logo in motion, so it needs to be simpler and easier to grasp.
- 1998 – 2006 This version was used in at least three releases: “Superman: The Animated Series,” “Justice LeagueUnlimited” and a crossover part in “The New Batman Adventures.” The distinctive feature of the Supergirl logo here is the darker shade of red and the muted yellow.
- The symbol can be either 3D or flat.
