I’ll admit that I’m someone who loves logos and the tweaks that they go through. Growing up on comic books where they would change somewhat regularly, different and special iterations would be used and the dynamic of the growth of them over the decades have proven fascinating to watch just from a design standpoint. Feature film studios have used logos of their to blend into the movies for a long time, with Paramount doing that with Indiana Jones and more recently in a big way with Warner Bros. doing that with the Harry Potter series of films where all them were tied to the them and style of the film, getting progressively darker and darker.
With Warner Bros. Television having a big comic book year coming up this fall on broadcast TV, they’re branding their shows tighter and tighter, which is a good thing in this instance as brand loyalty is important and it also makes it easy for casual viewers to connect the dots. They’ve put together a look at their four comic book based TV series out this fall with the theme designed logos for Arrow, Constantine, Flash and Gotham.
And for reference, the Harry Potter theatrical opening logo animations:
