While Spider-Man’s symbol has been modified several times over the years, the general design has always remained the same. You know you have a good logo when it stays essentially the same for over 50 years. While only three members of the team wear the logo, mainly because it’s hard for the Thing to fit into a shirt, it is one of the most recognized symbols in the Marvel universe. But when villains see the number four in the little white circle, they know they are about to get clobbered. The skull symbolizes everything the Punisher stands for – an uncompromising sense of justice. He wears the large skull on his shirt so criminals have something to aim at, which usually doesn’t help when they are already dead. The red and yellow colour scheme is extremely impactful while the lightning accurately represents the Flash’s incredible speed.Ī symbol needs to be indicative of what the hero does, and there is perhaps no better example of this than the classic skull used by the Punisher. There are many different colour schemes of the symbol, however, which have changed several times over the years, but is usually an encircled yellow or black ‘x’ over a red background.ĭoes the Flash even need a logo, considering he can run so fast no one will be able to see it? If crooks did catch a glimpse of the iconic lightning bolt, however, they would no doubt run as fast as they could in the opposite direction – not that it would help. When you see that X you know you are dealing with the X-Men, a superhero team of mutants lead by Charles Xavier. While the X isn’t the most creative symbol on the list, it certainly is recognisable. Add in the stars with the red, white, and blue colour scheme, and Wonder Woman is the perfect embodiment of female strength and determination. Some versions of the design actually give the symbol an eagle’s head, furthering the bird for patriotic symbolism. While Wonder Woman’s twin Ws represent her initials, the design also looks like a bird with wings stretched out, demonstrating her ability to fly, and matches the shape of her costume perfectly. While this logo loses some points for lack of creativity, sometimes simple is better, and the colour scheme and minimalist design work together perfectly. There are dozens of Green Lanterns patrolling the universe, and almost all of them bear the lantern on their chest. Some of the best symbols stand for more than just one specific person, and that’s exactly what the iconic lantern does. The star is also located on Cap’s chest, and can likely be found in the nightmares of every member of Hydra.
The intensity of the colours has changed slightly over the years, but the design on the shield remins largely the same: a white star in a blue circle surrounded by rings of red and white. Simple, patriotic, and iconic – Captain America’s star is the definition of American strength. For this list, we are looking at the best symbols associated with particular superheroes.
