James Gunn has unveiled the official logo for his upcoming Superman movie starring David Corenswet as the official Man of Steel – and fans are divided. Though the logo might look like a more modern design, the shape itself is based on the symbol Superman wears in the comic Kingdom Come – but with the classic yellow-and-red color scheme instead of the comic's grittier red and black. Fans have been quick to compare the logo to that of Henry Cavill's Superman, which does have a bigger, and clearer S shape and is outlined in red – whereas the new logo has a small yellow outline around the red part of the shield (a callback to the Fleischer cartoons of the 1940s).
"It’s absolutely perfect," one fan said . "Have to say it barely looks like an S though," one person wrote . "What’s that? Because it’s not the Superman logo.
.." said someone else .
"People crying about this feeling 'too modern' as if it hasn’t been around for decades," said another . "That's basically [the] Alex Ross Superman logo. It looks awesome.
You just can't move on from Cavill," someone tweeted . "I’m no one to get too hung up on a logo, but this one does nothing for me," wrote someone else . Gunn also recently shared a first look at Corenswet in the full suit, which prompted fans to pore over the details .
All we know for certain is that Gunn pulled from many different iterations of ol' Kal-El to make what truly feels like an homage to the classic American hero. Superman hits theaters on July 11,.
