Justice Society of America from DC Comics



I just loved old school retro looking logos like this one from the classic JSA logo that was made. This one is a winner in my book because of the letter arches itself giving it very classical and unique design that I've liked the most. The blue background is a must for this logo so that the color of yellow can stand out forcing the buyer to buy this book. It's stands out in the crowd of other books and that's why I like this logo so much.





All of these logos that I just don't care for the one that has the words AMERICA on top is a flat no-no of a logo and I just don't care for it at all. The one with the Circle and the Eagle looks more like a Symbol than a logo and that's not what I want at all.  The one on top is the best of the best and sad to say this that this logo has no place in my top 100. 


The one on the bottom with the black ribbon and blue lettering is a beauty of the find and I've consider it at one time; but it's looks like a banner or header of some kind and I wish it was more in the logo mode and I would like to see yellow trim on the blue lettering and less of the black ribbon and this one would had made my top 100. Matter of fact, I liked this format better than one that I selected here and I just can't include this design neither in the honorary and top 100 logos that I've seen so far.






I wished DC Comics made a more decent logo for this great group in the Golden Age of Comics and beyond.

It's interesting that here you have a team which didn't appear in a title called 'The Justice Society of America' and therefore didn't actually have an official logo until decades after their debut.  It would sort of be like having Superman appear only in Action Comics and World's Finest up until the 1970's and therefore not having any sort of 'Superman' logo by which to represent him.  

Question then, for you Mecha: Will your list contain only logos which utilized the character's name (ie. 'Superman', 'Batman', 'Spider-Man', etc.) but not titles which didn't contain (ie. 'Action Comics', 'Detective Comics', 'Amazing Fantasy', etc)?

Because while I like a few of the Justice Society logos you've found here (the one above plus the two in Michael's reply) when I think of Justice Society and cool logos I think of:

 

That's a great logo but of course, it isn't the name of a superhero or team.

Kid Flash from DC Comics



One of the better sidekicks logos around and I loved the pure simplicity and the straight lines on the letters indicating speed and the beauty of this logo. You just can't go wrong with this one and having said that its a bold and striking logo to begin with and that's makes it a good logo to look at and admired for.



I've considered this logo above and I can't accept it as face value because the letters F and L are in various shades of orange and half of the letter A is orange and yellow. But, the reason for doing this logo because his costume is red and yellow and that's alone creates an orange color and that's why they did it. But, its telling me that his costume is orange while running at Superspeed and that alone creates a conflict of interest of really what his costume colors are.

That's why I don't accept it at all.





These three aren't my cup of tea and I just find them not my style and I don't care for these at all.

I agree this is one of the coolest logos ever:



I thought this one was pretty good:

The Man-Thing from Marvel Comics


Of all the logos associated with this character this one is the cream of the crop! ... I feel really bad not making it in my top 100 because I feel that this logo did everything possible to make it work for this character and that why they did this design in the first place! ... Very Bold and beautifully crafted and powerfully striking letters!

The black "The" makes works for me and offers contrasting look and the red with the Yellow and Black borders trim makes it very unique and that's why I like it so much. Black on Yellow works for me just great!






These two are too puny for colors and style.  You hardly see the word THE on the logo on the left.





This one the black and white not accepted in my book.  Giant Size destroyed it and that's why I don't care for it.





The word "Infernal" killed it. If that word were out of it ... and just Man-Thing and the colors and all ... that's would been my pick for top 100; not 50 honorary ...

That's all for today and more coming up!

Metal Men from DC Comics


I've prefer simple and clean cut logos and this silver (with the gold trim) one is the best of the best. I'm know some of you feel that I did not select this one below me because the color are all wrong and so is everything else about it.





This one is okay ... but, too dark for a logo to begin with.




I have never ever seen this one before and I can't rate it. Yet, its been used in a comic book! See picture below it.



 I'm not familiar with this comic book series ... only the old one!


The one with Gold coloring is so close but ... I don't associate gold being a metal and that's why I prefer silver one on top because it's more metal and steel like. This one takes 2nd place of the logos that I've seen.

The Hourman logos are okay in my book but they aren't that spectacular to me and what you've said "blah" is fair game. If I were to place it would fall between from 140 to 150 in placement in this countdown. At one time, I've considered dropping it from my list of logos but it's survived the cut.  The "R" followed by the word "Man" is pretty bad. What saved it is the "H" followed by OU and those letters were okay in my book. 

Thanks for your comments and appreciate it very much!
