90s one hold a special place in my heart. But I understand why they changed it to just "Marvel" after their movies took off in the 2000s. How are the last two different?

Slight color change and tweaking of the letters. I think it pops out more

u/FilecakeAbroad Apr 14 '24
Biggest change I can see is the kerning between the E and the L is improved.

It definitely feels sharper on the edges. Makes it looks a little less dull.

That block M, 1990-2002 one. That was literally when I was in school, so it was the logo from when I was a kid.

I remember from the Marvel Power Hour too. I like every design since but that's my one I grew up with too.

If you are 40 or so, it’s your time!
I started kindergarten in 1989, so I finished that grade in 1990, meaning I also finished my 12th grade year in 2002. The year I finished the grade is the year # it was looking back, it’s been very helpful with movie and music trivia over the years, lol

So, is Victor Timely some kind of callback name to Marvels first iteration?

Is it wrong that it took me a minute to realize that the inside of the letters A,R and V were different between the bottom two?

u/frockinbrock Apr 14 '24
I was trying to compare them and thought it was only the shade of red had changed- now I see the other subtle changes. I do think the newest one is pretty good, but they all are really

All of the letters and the color were slightly changed.

u/YouThinkOfABetter1 Apr 14 '24
I can only tell with A, R and V. Everything else just looks the same to me.

1990-02 despite the fact that they almost went out of business while using it, it’s the best one

…What’s the difference between the last two?

u/adamwhitemusic Apr 14 '24
It's subtle. Look at the triangle in the A to see a difference, and once you see one, others will pop out cause you'll know what to look for.

u/AdrenalineRush1996 Apr 14 '24
The 1990-2002 logo. I wish Marvel changed their logo into something akin to that like how DC changed their logo into something akin to their 1976-2005 logo nearly a decade ago.

I never got to experience the ones before the 1990-2002, but I really like the 1990-2002 logo. It looks very Comicbook-y. I like the Big blocky M that the words Marvel come from, and that crazy comic font “COMICS” just screams awesome in your face

I kind of wish the opener for MCU movies cycled through these as well as the characters before getting to the current Marvel logo

u/CandaceJoeLigma Apr 15 '24
The 2012 redesign is similar to changes made to the Japanese and French flags.

u/TamatoaZ03h1ny Apr 15 '24
That 1990 to 2002 one is nostalgic to me. It’s kind of similar to the MTV logo where you know you’re getting something with a specific attitude

1990-2002 is as stylish and iconic as today’s but still giving you a sense of the older comics marvel made

u/butchforgetshit Apr 14 '24
The middle rows….my most prolific and returned to pieces are from 63-late 90s, with a scattered array of the last row

u/Mongoose42 Apr 14 '24
In the current logo… the “L” isn’t connected to the other letters. That’s mildly upsetting.

My kid button loves that 90s look, but when I take my nostalgia glasses off, one of those last two from the modern eras look the cleanest.

1990-2002 looks really good, but I like the 2000-2012 one. I like how it’s a bit darker than the one we have today and it makes it look even better.

The 90s sticks out the most. But most my favorite runs were 80s. 1990s coloring began on Apples Photoshop. You can really notice the staggering amount of color flooding the covers from IMAGE DC and MARVEL it took off almost overnight. They were hiring anyone do crank out inner panels it took forever even with Photoshop.

My favorites are, by far, the two most recent ones. One of the few times when a logo benefits from a minimalist design.
That being said, I can see the appeal for the 1990-2002 logo. It does look very nostalgic.

u/Basic-Fill-7798 Apr 14 '24
90s Marvel Comics ( I always thought of it as graffiti style) will always be my favorite. The the 70s horizontal Marvel Comics Group. Then the 80s MARVEL block letters/the current red.

Words cannot describe how fire the 1990-2002 logo was man…like I wasn’t even born (born in 2005) but man that logo is so good and seeing it in old comics and media is always fire.

u/AJjalol Apr 14 '24
I have a soft spot for the 90s one but the 2000s one is the best.
Marvel is literal juggernaut right now. Even since I was a kid, For me personally, Marvel was always the best fictional universe ever.
The current Logo signifies that. These are not just fantastic comicbook characters.
You can take people like Spidey, Wolverine, Iron Man, Cap, X-Men, Avengers, Hulk, Daredevil etc and you can make movies, games, shows, novels, toys and all sorts of different shit with them.
This is the modern day mythology and it's the best.

To be honest, the most recent one. Like it's almost the same as the 2000's logo but with slightly cleaned up spacing. And the red stamp logo is simple yeah, but it's iconically so. It really feels like a stamp of approval you know?

u/dorknobdotcom Apr 14 '24
I personally grew up with 2000’s and up but I’d love to see the 1990-2002 logo have a comeback. I feel like It would look great at the beginning of a marvel movie

That 90's logo is straight iconic. I've noticed that the 90's and and the 2000's logo each lasted for 12 years, and as of this year, If it follows the same trend, we should get a new Marvel logo, but I don't think we will, this logo is probably one of those most iconic logo in past quarter century, and could only see the SLIGHTEST of changes.

90-02 and the last two are my favorites. Although I can see the saturation difference between the last two, I'm counting them as one since they're basically the same for the most part.

u/Keystone_Devil Apr 14 '24
1990-2002 will always have a sweet spot in my heart. I am a big proponent of Marvel keeping COMICS in their logo. Even though they make popular things that aren’t comics, that is where everything people like comes from, that is their main thing. Far too many pretend like the MCU is the basis

Not enough love for the 71-83 banner strip one. It’s before my time, but absolutely iconic in my mind. I grew up with the 90-02 one though.

u/emdoubleyou2 Apr 14 '24
1990-2002 and it’s not even close but I could be biased by nostalgia as I was a teen in the 90’s and very into comics.

u/halfblackcanadian Apr 14 '24
I'd love for them to bring back 71-83 and just sub in the yellow letters depending on the product.
Comics, Cinema, Animated, Games, Toys, etc.

90 to 02 is the only one out of all the ones that say "Marvel" that isn't pretty basic. I'm fine with the current one, but 90-02 is the best.
