The Mark of Batman – The Evolution of the Batman Logo & Icon 1941-2007



The Mark of Batman – The Evolution of Batman Logo & Icon 1941-2007, charts the transformation of the famous Batman Logo from: 1941 through to 2007, in a YouTube video, much like the Spider-Man Symbol Evolution

I really had no idea there were so many amazing iterations throughout history and the decades.

From this cool video I have picked out each of of the Batman logos (below) as there is something neat about seeing a visual linear progression of evolution.

My favorite has to be the Batman logo used in Batman Begins, a film by Christopher Nolan, 2005.
