Posted on by

DC has returned to a classic logo for DC Studios, comics, toys, and more. The “bullet” logo for DC is back with a bit of an update.

The logo has replaced the previous one of social networks for DC as a whole but the most recent logo is still present on the DC website. The beloved logo was the seventh logo for the comic publisher and used from 1977 to 2005.

Co-head of DC Studios James Gunn looks to be a driver of the change. A motion graphic that will appear before movies was also debuted during at panel at San Diego Comic-Con.
