Logo Design: Final Crisis

About a week ago, I wrote about the logo and cover composition of Marvel’s Secret Invasion event. I thought that it came off as campy and did the complexity of the story it was trying to tell a disservice.

The solicitation previews for July’s DC comics have gone up at Newsarama, along with what looks to be a better view of Final Crisis’s cover concept. Every book (including tie-ins, it seems) will get a “sliver” plot cover and an iconic character shot in 50/50. They’d been talking about working with Chip Kidd for Final Crisis and Trinity, and it certainly looks like it.

Final Crisis #3

I just want to say, Marvel, this kind of striking cover image - this is what I was talking about. Kudos to Dan Didio, Eddie Berganza, J.G. Jones, Alex Sinclair and Chip Kidd.
