Love this poll! The changes in Tec are really linked to a bunch of great stories!

I still haven't decided if I'm going to vote in this part, because I prefer the logos on the first part. But 'TEC sure has some great logo designs. The way 2011 leans to the left is really weird, though. Right leaning always seems to be better, but maybe that's a right-handed prejudice.

As a matter of principle, I don't like when "Batman" dominates the logo. I understand why they do it--because people are stupid and can't figure out that Batman is the star--although, to be fair, sometimes he isn't. But I like logos such as the 1989 and 1991 designs where "Detective" is the major element.

Not a fan of the New 52, but I like that Detective Comics logo!
Still liking the slant.

I love this whole game! What fun to vote on the logos! I never would have thought of that but I find I have strong opinions on each and every one of these polls. These sorts of threads make CBR community really fun. Thanks to OP!

I agree completely. And if they have to at least say "...featuring Batman" or "Batman starring in..." Just having "Batman" above "Detective" (or "Superman" above "Action," for that matter) makes no sense to me. My LCS actually alphabetizes them under B and S, which makes me crazy.

I don't usually like flat logos because they tend to be uninteresting and with very little to draw attention.

However... I do like 2014's logo, because of the clever use of the Bat-logo, or rather, half of. The absence of half the logo gives a feeling of 'deduction' and 'sleuthing' as does the grunge texturing done with the words.

I also liked the 2000 logo for the same pulp magazine aesthetics.

[Uncanny Mutie]

1990 for me.

I decided to revive these original polls to see if/how the results differed from the finals. I'm not sure if I should've done multiple rounds or not. Maybe some polling geeks could jump in and tell me what they think.

Again, Detective had to be split in half because there were too many for a single poll. Interestingly, 2003 is way out front here. 1991, the eventual winner, is tied in a pack way down the list. Honorable mention goes to 2014.
