James Gunn unveils official Superman logo that's both nostalgic and new - and fans don't know how to feel

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, 2025. For more, check out our full breakdown of the new suit , or, check out our guide to all the upcoming DC movies and shows you need to know about.
