It's the first one that's not symmetrical and round in some fashion. As for it looking great on black -- I'd agree, for sure, especially in its customized forms. Their application looks like it's in response to the recent slew of superhero movies, and the directions that their respective directors have taken with those. Think "Spiderman Intro or Credits," and you kind of get the picture. I wonder how long it will stay concrete in this form...

Sometimes I wish I could visit the cutting room floor of designs like this. It'd be interesting to see what other ideas they had and turned down. Agreed.

Very versatile, and looks great against black. Good thoughts, man. I love the logo so far. Very versatile, and looks great against black. Good thoughts, man.

Now, seeing the integration of their rich catalogue of heroes and iconic colors/symbols, I'm warming to it. I'm still not a fan of the label peel look. I lean toward minimalist design, so I don't see why the simole adaptable DC symbol itself wouldn't be enough (i.e. completely peel the label off and discard). But I am definitely warming to this after seeing the concept fleshed out more. I was underwhelmed by the logo when I first saw the basic black and white version a while back.
