Typenerd, indeed. Things are pretty bad when you can't even thrown in friggin' Bat symbol behind the type. And those "New Adventures"-era comics? Man, they sucked.
Yo soy española y creo que la varicion del logotipo de Batman ha sido meramente espectacular y maravillosa, por lo cual agradezco mucho la invitacion a esta bella exposicion. Gracias por haberme dedicado estos bonitos momentos
heard a lecture on graphic logos. one sample they used was the batman emblem (on his chest). this ph.d dude said that the circle was (a) actually a sillhouette of a bat flying across the moon as backdrop; (b) it represents the bat signal refracting from the clouds and (c) the dark knight is nocturnal. any truth to this, batgeeks?
omg, your blog rocks... thank you!

ReplyDeleteGSB, thanks.
Check out all the different faces of Batman at this site http://batman.manyfacesof.com/
ReplyDeleteThat 1972 Batman looks a little like the X-Men's Wolverine, especially with that subtle drop of off-white/yellow on the crown of his head.
ReplyDeleteI can't see the logos. I was so excited! All I get Is "Photobucket.com bandwidth exceeded" I'm bummed. What do I do?
ReplyDeleteGreat collection!

I'm spanish too, and nobody talks like that unless is using the google translator, or on drugs.

ReplyDeleteAccording to Jeph Loeb when asked this in an interview it's for 2 reasons.
ReplyDelete1) For the comics the yellow makes a godd contrast against the black of his batsuit (this is why the belt is yellow too)
2) It makes a target for criminals to shoot at, deflecting attention from his head which is quite vulnerable.
Hope this helps
