That same year, the symbol would undergo several modifications. Newer drawings depicted the bat with a small head and a couple of sharp-edged ears. The upper parts of the wings were originally rounded; in later versions, they were made sharper. Most drawings also showed seven wing points on the bat, as opposed to the original five. However, sometimes the artist would render the original 5-point wings in his drawings.
Throughout many comics and movies, designers have played around with the symbol by altering the shape, number of webs, and wing points and adding a dash of color to make it pop more. The bat got its ears and head, and the wing points increased to seven from five. The version of the Batman logo in the early forties was about twice as big as the original version. The image then took on a gothic look in , with the wings stretched out and sharpened.
Some renderings of the symbol also included some blue details on the wing, although these were not at all visible in others, probably due to differences in print quality. The Batman character got his solo title in In addition to this, he still got featured in Detective Comics, the top publisher of comics in those days. And thanks to the spreading out of the wings, the logo became wide than its predecessors. The ears were also enlarged. On the other hand, the wing points and the tail were made much shorter.
The Batman superhero first appeared in a TV series in The emblem image on the chest was somewhat smaller than in print, but the details of the image appeared more carefully worked out. Later on, in that decade, the bat acquired a rounded pair of ears in place of the sharp ones. By this time, the logo had been standardized for both the magazine and TV versions. This time, it looked sharper and was more elongated than the rest of the wing points on the bottom side, which became more rounded.
The head also grew larger and became more prominent. The growing buzz for Batman escalated into a second serial series, this time starring Robert Lowery. Meanwhile in the comics, the logo took an odd step in a decidedly rounder direction, stepping away from the superior version.
Six years later, we saw the logo once again abandon the rounded wings, taking down the square footage of the symbol and opting for a sharper look overall. While there would be a handful of updates in the years that followed, this one still frequently appeared for the better part of a decade.
The logo HalloweenCostumes. Two years later, the design took an odd left turn, thinning out the Batman symbol considerably for the first time, and slightly raising the height of the head.
Very much a compromise between the and logos, the iteration went back to the bulkier aesthetic, while keeping the raised ears. Theories abound as to why the yellow background was added to the Batman logo, but according to the editor, the only goal was to clearly distinguish the version of Batman from the Silver Age era of the hero.
Sidney Fussell , Tech Insider. Since his first appearance in , Batman has become a hugely important cultural icon. It's a bit bulky, but fit the time period where he was wearing a costume instead of high-tech armor.
Also, notice the long ears. This is an update of the symbol, likely because the TV show brought in a new era of fans familiar with how the logo appeared onscreen. It's a bit blocky, but more imposing. The stark take on Batman is considered one of the greatest. The bottom edges are overdone, though the sharp curve of the wings is very cool.
That, plus the rectangular wings, makes for a less bat-like silhouette. This particular design, introduced in "Batman Returns," is well-balanced and reappeared a lot during the '90s animated spin-offs. In "Knightfall," Wayne is succeeded as Batman by Azrael. It's balanced and minimalist, but guilty by association with the unpopular film.
The bat also started to resemble to its modern design. The bat was also reused as Batgirl's chest symbol. Two years later, the logo had a drastic redesign: the bat became thinner with long and sharp wing points and slightly raising the height of the head.
The logo went back to the bulkier aesthetic in , while the remained slightly more prominent than before. In Detective Comics , the artist Carmine Infantino barely modified the bat, making the wings less angular and wider and the ears a little bit shorter. He also added the iconic yellow-ellipse for the first time. It has been speculated that the ellipse was added to make the logo easier to trademark just like with Wayne Boring's Superman logo from , but according to the editor at that time Julius Schwartz , the only goal was to unveil a "New Look" for Batman to more easly distinguish the Silver Age era of the hero from what came before.
In , the logo was improved, making the wings spread out and fill the ellipse. Despite this logo is no longer used in the comics, it can still be seen in other media commonly in merchandise and remains as the most memorable and longest-lived logo used by the character, aswell as one of the world's most recognized logos.
Freeze: SubZero. After more than 3 decades of use, the yellow-ellipse was removed when the new millennium arrived. This logo is shaped like the previous logos, only that the top the wings are more pointy and curved. This logo was used for eleven years until it was replaced when New 52 was released in In Batman Vol. After the events of Flashpoint , the DC Universe was once again rebooted, and the continuity of Batman's franchise was changed completely.
