DC Comics Updates Logo with Rebirth Launch

DC Comics has commenced a company-wide relaunch called Rebirth. The company claims to be returning to their roots with many of the characters that they changed in the last few company-wide shakeups over the last five to ten years, and fans seem happy? Maybe? I'm not exactly sure how fans feel.

I know that the DCU Rebirth issue kicking off the event sold very well and was generally well received. It has gone into multiple printings.

Anyway, the company updated their logo again, and here the fans seem underwhelmed. I think it will grow on fans until they grow to really like it, at which point, in four or five years, DC will change it again. Fans had just grown to like the "flipped-page" logo. Go figure.

Sometimes changes are necessary, sometimes they're forced.

Here's a graphic of the many DC Comics logos over the years. The one labeled 1976 is the one with which I have the most collecting experience:
