== Logo ==
* The November 1941 DC titles introduced an updated logo. This was almost twice the size of the previous version and the first with a white background. The name "Superman" was added to "A DC Publication", effectively acknowledging both Superman and Batman. This logo was the first to occupy the top-left corner of the cover, which is where the logo has generally resided ever since. The company began to refer to itself in its advertising as "Superman-DC".<ref>{{Cite web|title=DC Comics logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG, brand|url=https://1000logos.net/dc-comics-logo/|website=1000logos.net|access-date=June 5, 2021|language=en-US|archive-date=May 17, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210517215536/https://1000logos.net/dc-comics-logo/|url-status=live}}</ref>
* When Jenette Kahn became DC's publisher in late 1976, she commissioned graphic designer [[Milton Glaser]] to design a new company logo. Popularly referred to as the "DC bullet", this logo premiered on the February 1977 titles. Although it varied in size and colour, was at times cropped by the edges of the cover, and was briefly rotated by 4{{nbsp}}degrees, the logo remained essentially unchanged for almost three decades. Despite the various logo changes since 2005, the old "DC bullet" continues to be used only on the [[DC Archive Editions]] series.<ref>{{cite web |last=Rozakis |first=Bob |title=Conspiracy? Icons?

* On May 8, 2005, a new logo (dubbed the "DC spin") was unveiled, debuting on DC titles in June 2005 with ''DC Special: The Return of [[Donna Troy]]'' No.{{nbsp}}1 and the rest of the titles the following week. As well as being used for comics, the new logo was designed for DC properties in other media, including films since ''[[Batman Begins]]'' (with ''[[Superman Returns]]'' showing the logo's normal variant), the TV series ''[[Smallville]]'', the animated series ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' and others, as well as for [[collectible]]s and other merchandise. The "DC Spin" logo was designed by Josh Beatman of Brainchild Studios<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.brainchildstudiosnyc.com/downloads/DC_brandHistory.pdf |title=DC Comics Brand: A Graphic History |work=Brainchild Studios |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080910083021/http://www.brainchildstudiosnyc.com/downloads/DC_brandHistory.pdf |archive-date=September 10, 2008 |url-status=dead |access-date=July 29, 2008}}</ref> and DC [[Management|executive]] [[Richard Bruning]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33582 |website=Newsarama |title=Richard Bruning on designing a new DC logo |author=Brady, Matt |date=May 11, 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081206045930/http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33582 |archive-date=December 6, 2008 |url-status=dead |access-date=July 29, 2008}}</ref>
* In March 2012, DC unveiled a new logo designed by [[Landor Associates]], which consists of a letter "D" peeling back to reveal the letter "C". The logo was intended to signify the concept of superheroes having "dual" identities and was adaptable across different mediums.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kit |first=Borys |date=January 19, 2012 |title=DC Entertainment Unveils New Logo |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/dc-entertainment-logo-new-superman-283502/ |access-date=July 27, 2024 |website=The Hollywood Reporter |language=en-US |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240727052159/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/dc-entertainment-logo-new-superman-283502/ |archive-date=July 27, 2024}}</ref>
