The Zatanna logo in the 2010 run was terrible. What are those lines under the As supposed to mean? It looks like one of those awful PowerPoint WordArt styles.

The purpose of underlining is to balance out the color of words so that you don’t have a big white gap underneath. But it’s become an affectation in contemporary design.
https://graphicdesign.stackexchange....-such-as-n-u-oThere may well be technical references back to old school typesetting abbreviations but as Metis suggests, in a contemporary sense it is more to do with creating visual interest and particularly a sense of tension or things being 'beyond the norm'. During the 90's in British design colleges we were encouraged to use type as image and challenge strict typography - influenced not least by the PUNK movement, Jamie Reid and his Sex Pistols collages. Many of us studied painting, life drawing and illustration alongside graphic design. Neville Brody expanded this with the Apple Mac toolset (the font Blur originated from a Photoshop filter effect) and later David Carson with his surf counter culture mag RayGun. Carson went so far as to set an entire editorial in Ding Bats (he didn't agree with the author's premise).
A notable mainstream application came with the popular band Mike and the Mechanics - in their logo and covers used over several years.
And you can trace this debt back to Saul Bass in the 60's and beyond that to Miro, Dada and Lautrec who blurred the lines between art, expression, graphics and type.

That's an interesting idea. I recently came across a video from Vsauce talking about Optography. It's cool to see the writer basing her unique power on some real-life stuff. Maybe Zatanna can explore other such pseudoscientific things in her own solo. Originally Posted by Zee_Fan

I guess it doesn't matter with how she was just in slideshows but dang, even conceptually the designer realized she was barely relevant to Zatanna Originally Posted by Mai Zen

I'm kind of over the JLD as a concept but more Zee sounds good to me

I’m a fan of Janin, so I’m curious/excited to see what this is.
