James Gunn Revives Iconic DC Bullet Logo And Thanks Fans For Support

San Diego Comic Con 2024 was a thrilling event for fans of both Marvel and DC Universe. While Marvel stole the show with exciting updates, DC Studios made sure to grab attention with some big news. The studio, now led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, is going back to its roots, as the entertainment company left fans stunned by bringing back the classic DC bullet logo. With the updated design, the studio is paying homage to the original creation, which was made by Milton Glaser and was used until 2005. This new logo was unveiled alongside the first trailer of their animated series, Creature Commandos. Following the reveal, Gunn shared a video to explain why they chose this nostalgic design and thanked fans for their constant support.

The filmmaker said, “From our earliest days at DC Studios, my partner Peter Safran and I have been laser focused on bringing the traditionally distinct worlds of DC film, TV, animation and gaming into alignment under a single banner. Peter and I knew that we needed one logo that would bring us all together. We knew that it needed to be something that was immediately recognizable, something that honoured the comics, the legendary artists and writers who inspired everything we do, including our own Jim Lee, of course. Not to mention, the generations of passionate and extraordinary DC fans.”

“We needed a logo that pays honours our past and now signifies our future, ours and yours. Thank you, for your support over the past year and change, I can’t wait to show you all that we have in store for you. We promise to put every ounce of our hearts and souls into honouring the legacy of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and of all the DC Comics characters. And I promise, this logo will be a sign of the love, passion, respect and hard work that goes into those creations. We knew exactly what we wanted that logo to be from the moment we took charge of DC Studios. If it looks familiar to you, you might very well be a DC fan,” James Gunn concluded.

Creature Commandos is set to kick off the new DC Universe (DCU) under James Gunn and Peter Safran’s leadership. The adult animated series is set to premiere in December. Following that, John Cena starrer Peacemaker Season 2 is scheduled to release in 2025, followed by Superman movie on July 11 and a spinoff series featuring Viola Davis’ character, Amanda Waller. Other projects include Supergirl and Swamp Thing, among others.
