James Gunn Shares Video Explaining New DC Studios Logo

This weekend at Comic-Con, the new logo for DC Studios was unveiled, based on the classic DC Comics logo and the original Superman, and fans seem to be loving it. I think it’s awesome!

The logo was revealed with the first trailer of Commando Creatures and co-CEO of DC Studios and Superman director James Gunn recently shared a video offering some insight into the new logo and why he and Peter Safran chose that direction.

Gunn also thanks DC fans for their support and patience as they craft the first phase of the DCU.

Gunn said: “From our earliest days at DC Studios, my partner Peter Safran and I have been fully focused on uniting the traditionally distinct worlds of DC film, TV, animation and video games under one banner.”

“Peter and I knew we needed a logo, one that would unite us all. We knew it had to be something that was instantly recognizable, something that honored the comics, the legendary artists and writers who have inspired everything we do, including our own Jim Lee, of course. Not to mention the generations of passionate and amazing DC fans.”

“We needed a logo that honored our past and now symbolized our future, ours and yours. Thank you for your support over the past year and change, I can’t wait to show you all that we have in store for you.

“We promise to pour every ounce of our hearts and souls into honoring the legacy of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and all the characters of DC Comics. And I promise that this logo will be a sign of the love, passion, respect and hard work that goes into these creations.”

“We knew exactly what we wanted that logo to be from the moment we took over DC Studios. If it looks familiar, you might just be a DC fan. Much love to you all and happy Con.”
