Aquaman created by Paul Norris and Mort Weisinger is one of the “oldest” superheroes. The readers enjoyed the first comic book about this character in 1941. Now movie versions appear, which explains the fact that there are several versions of the Aquaman logo.
Aquaman is one of the classic DC Comics characters. He appeared on the pages of More Fun Comics back in 1941, only a couple of years behind Superman and Batman. In the original version, this superhero was the son of a sea explorer who found sunken Atlantis and, using the books of that civilization, managed to teach his son to breathe underwater, to be strong and fast.
In addition, Aquaman could control fish and other underwater creatures for a minute and be able to speak to members of the marine world in their language if they were within 18 meters of him.
Aquaman is a telepath, ruler of Atlantis and all of Earth’s oceans; an Atlantean with incredible strength and speed, as well as the ability to control all marine life forms. His unique physiology allows him to survive on land and in the deepest depressions, with tremendous pressure and temperature. Named Orin through his royal heritage and Arthur Curry by his human parents, he fights to protect both worlds using his mighty abilities and political influence. Aquaman is a founding member of the Justice League of America.
What is Aquaman?
Aquaman is the name of one of the superheroes from the DC universe, which was first introduced at the beginning of the 1940s in More Fun Comics magazine, the 73rd edition. Aquaman is considered to be one of the most recognizable superheroes due to his appearance.
That logo features the Aquaman symbol set against a deep sea background. The “AQUAMAN” is in the foreground. It is in white with a shiny drop shadow. In comparison with the new logo it is darker, which is the reason why it has been redesigned.
Different versions of the movie have their own logos. The Warner Bros. version of the official logo for its movie that is to open in December, 2018 is the latest one. It was released in June, 2018.
It consists of the bold lettering “AQUAMAN” and the iconic symbol viewers can see on the character’s belt buckle. The symbol has the characteristic spearhead motif found throughout the Aquaman design. It also features the abbreviation “DC” in a circle at the top. It evidently pays tribute to DC Comics, the publisher of the original comic books. The whole logo is in light blue color, the color of water, and looks shiny.
The stylized three-dimensional lettering from the logo of Aquaman is set in a custom designer typeface based on a very elegant sans-serif font with slightly elongated and curved tails of some characters. The closest fonts to the one, used in this insignia, are, probably, Sky Sans Medium Small Caps, or Talis Extra BoldX but with some minor modifications of the letters.
As for the color palette of Aquaman’s visual identity, it is based on several shades of blue, the color, which represents the superhero better than any other. Blue is also a color of stability and reliability, which looks bright, vivid, and at the same time tender.
