   Everyday that logo looks better and better. I want to play some ice hockey!

   I was actually thinking the same thing. The question is . . . what does the “DG” stand for?

   “Damn Gerber?”

   “Dumb Gerbils?”

   “Doesn’t Generate?”

   “Doubtful Greatness?”

   I don’t think it’s DG.

   (Squinting, tilting head)

   It’s 9G.

   Definitely 9G.

   Dick Giordano.
   Dynamite Gigilos.
   Denver Crack.

   Do you think the D is getting a cut of the slicing from the swoosher?

   It’s a rather unfortunate design, really. They should have stolen Marvel’s idea and gone with two white, blocky letters in a colored, blocky block of bold, substantial nothingness.

   I also like the notion of renaming the superhero chapter of the company as “Action Comics” that was mentioned in Steven Grant’s column.

   But I’m not the one who’s paid for this crap, so what do I care.

   It looks like DC to me… and it really doesn’t bother me to tell you the truth. I figure it’s only temporary — it’s not a timeless design. But few, if any, are things that are timeless.

   For a couple of years, the United States Boomerang Association (yes, there is one) has been searching for a new logo. It’s amazing how close the new DC logo is to most of the candidates…

   Eh. You’re all daft. It’s “OC” -as in the highly suspect propaganda show that makes your average fanboy seem dashing, cool & able to attract hot women at the drop of a mylar bag.
   And honestly – if you were looking for advice about comics, would you really go to George Lucas????????

    The quote on the DC page says it all:
    “We’re talking about a multibillion-dollar brand,” said Kevin Tsujihara, the Warner Brothers executive vice president for corporate business development and strategy, whose portfolio includes DC Comics. “There was a level of concern that we weren’t fully utilizing the power of DC.”

    If you save the logo on the DC news page you’ll see THEY know what they are doing – it’s called ‘spin_news1.jpg’ and here in New Labour Britain we know all about SPIN – the alternative to reality!!

    And the other thing, what does the negative H in the letter ‘G’ stand for?

    It was used in the 10 minute preview of BATMAN BEGINS. Grey.
