The Justice League is rightfully considered the best in the entire DC universe because it consists of the greatest heroes, and everyone else just dreams of joining it. And this popularity has gone far beyond comics and animation. Today, the first association with the phrase “The Justice League” may well be associated with the movie made by Zack Snyder in 2021. Zack Snyder’s Justice League is the long-awaited sequel to the feature-length adventure film about the struggle of the invincible team of the audience’s favorite superheroes against the world’s evil, based on DC Comics.
The concept of the Justice League first appeared in The Brave and the Bold issue #28, published in February/March 1960. Since its inception, the team’s roster has changed several times. But the original line-up is still considered by many as the strongest.
Over the years, the Justice League has been the subject of several animated and feature television series, as well as feature films. One of the highlights of the 2010s was the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
In this movie, the viewer will once again see the inimitable characters of the DC universe on the screen. Clark Kent, aka Superman, is a tireless fighter for justice in the famous cape. Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman – a beautiful warrior, an Amazon with an indestructible shield. Barry Allen, or Flash, is an elusive young man with inhuman speed. Aquaman, or Arthur Curry, an Atlantean descendant endowed with the power of the ocean lords. Victor Stone, known as Cyborg, is a man with a cybernetically enhanced body. And, of course, Bruce Wayne – the famous Batman, the billionaire in the black cape.
The movie with Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, and Ezra Miller set a record of popularity on online platforms because sitting through 4 hours in the theater is not for everyone.
The logo of both parts of the Justice League is based on the lettering and a bold yet simple crest-like emblem, with a thick framing and the triangular bottom part, and a stylized “JL” monogram in the middle. The main thing about the monogram is the cuts in the middle of the vertical bars of both letters, which form a five-pointed star in the negative space.
The star has always been a symbol of power and miracle, and the DC franchise about superheroes is definitely all about power, and unexplainable abilities.
As for the color palette, it varies depending on the needs and the background, but the official version of the logo is drawn in thick white lines and placed on a gradient cold blue and gray background. This calm combination of shades evokes a mysterious sense and elevates the idea of the movie.
For the 2021 Zack Snyder’s Justice League, they used the same emblem. This version, however, was solely black-and-white. They also added the movie’s trademark in thin sans-serif letters above the main emblem. There were three lines, and the director’s name occupied two of them.
