A good superhero needs a great logo. Done right, a superhero logo can become an instant icon and go on to become one of the world’s most recognised symbols, on a par with the best logos like the McDonald’s arches. A good superhero logo should be simple, stylish and convey the essentials of the character, giving a sense of tone as well as any particular pieces of iconography.
I’ve picked the best superhero logos that accomplish all that and more – the ones that have stood the test of time. Many of these are the kinds of logos where, in most cases, even a person who has never picked up a comic book in their life will look at them and know exactly which superhero they’re conveying. Others are less well-known, but exhibit some truly clever design choices that convey what the hero in question is all about.
