I've not heard the episode yet but in answer to the question, I'm not a fan of the Vertigo logo, the scratchiness of the second word is more suited to an Arkham Asylum project than a dark superhero. The Adventure Comics logo is the classic for the character, though I see they would want something less showy/fun. But they've not nailed it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I get that. I find her, especially in this version, to be edgy, dark, mysterious, serious ... and so that Vertigo-style logo makes sense to me. But maybe they swung too far away from the showy / fun original logo.
