James Gunnhas 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 comicKingdom 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.
