The \8/ and the \S/

[AgentPat]

Thought I'd start a thread for all the uses of the \8/ and \S/ as seen in SV. There's TONS of 'em folks. This should be fun! Uhkay, here we go...

[AgentPat]

How did Pat forget about Naked Clark?Oh, trust me, I didn't forget. Hee!!! But you can only post six images in one message, and I didn't want to hog all the glory. LOL Like I said, there's TONS of \8/, \S/ and even shields in four seasons of SV. I'll post some more tonight. The Torch mascot was going to be in my next post, if somebody doesn't beat me to it. Feel free. :D

[The Incredible Hulk]

awesome job Pat. I miss the Angels and Devils thread... I'm sure there were some shots from Commencement to add to that...

Nice thread, Pat. I especially like seeing the pic from Dichotic. I haven't gazed upon that in a while.

[Serene]

Great thread! I'm thinking there was quite a bit in "Jinx" as well. Not just the \8/ but the red boots too. I'll have to go look at some caps. Keep 'em coming!

Up next, the KEY!

[AgentPat]

Hmmm... Everybody out enjoying the holidaze or somethin'? It's been wicked quiet in here. :(

Uhkay, as promised, the Key...

http://www.patcostello.com/temp/key.jpg

Row 1: Obscura, Vortex and Insurgence
Row 2: Fever (two scenes)
Row 3: Rosetta (same sequence was later shown again in Calling)
Row 4: Calling, Exodus

The red Kryptonian letters spell out "SM." Not too hard to figure out what they probably wanted folks to think with those initials. ;)

The blue is the Hope symbol, which was created for the show. Notice that it wasn't included in close ups of the key prior to Fever. It's hard to tell in Insurgence because of the thumb, but that's probably on purpose as they might not have had the design completed at that point.

Also of note, a continuity error in Fever. When Martha hides the key in the flour can in the beginning of the ep, the Hope symbol is present on the key, but when the Hazmat team finds it later, the Hope symbol is missing. Oopsz! LOL They must have used one of the older props.

And finally, the yellow letters is what happens when you're out of ideas, and you need *something* to put on your prop. Who knew Kryptonians used a "Barcode?" LMFAO!!!

[DarkKnightJRK]

Holy \S/**t! That's a lot of \S/'\s/!

Woah, there'\s/ more!!!

[Pickle-El]

One of those has quite a small \S/.... ;)

It's not the size of the \S/, it's how you u\s/e it. :D

[storyteller]

Okay i think its time for them to stop with the s and sheild thing. Yes we get it. SUPERMAN. So stop showing us symbolics and show the god damn suit already. I want a flash back eppy where superman and batman are playing chess and supes flash backs to an eppy of smallville.

[Serene]

I went back and looked at the caps for Spell.. thinking that at the end, when Clark got his powers back, that there was an \S/ on his chest. Oddly enough, it's not an \S/ at all.. it's kind of an X shape. Still, a cool shot.

I highly doubt the colours were meant to be connected to Superman.

Yellow, blue and red are the three primary colours. If you mixed those properly, you can get any other colour in existence but that takes practice and colour-mixing knowledge (or a colour wheel). My Colour Theory made us use black, white, red, yellow and blue gouache (and no other) all semester to get used to mixing them.

[AgentPat]

I highly doubt the colours were meant to be connected to Superman...Mmmm... I think they knew *exactly* what they were doing when they chose those three particular colors. They do it all the time...

http://www.patcostello.com/temp/shattered.jpg

It's yet another Superman tease for the audience ala Smallville. :D

[NHawk19]

If we really bring those colors in to play every flannel shirt clark has worn would appear. They know the colors are a tease.

[AgentPat]

If we really bring those colors in to play every flannel shirt clark has worn would appear. They know the colors are a tease.No doubt, but some teases are more overt than others. When the camera pans over objects that are specifically shown to be red, blue and yellow, it's painfully obvious. And we don't even have to SEE the colors. In Red, Jesse asks Lana who the stud in primary colors is (referring to Clark, of course.) Clark wasn't even wearing his bright blue shirt in that scene - it was the lighter blue one, and black jeans. That's it (http://www.devotedfansnetwork.com/dtsgallery/displayimage.php?album=35&pos=28). So why'd Jessie say "primary colors?" Hee! It's silly, but it's just more of a tease through dialog.

I completly agree.

If we look at the use (or occasional over use) of items from the Superman mythos, I believe that colors and any reference to them would prove to be the most abundant used by the show. Even more so that the \S/ or \8/, or angelic symbols.

Even more so that the \S/ or \8/, or angelic symbols.Visually, I bet you're right. But I think the plethora of overt references has been in the dialog. They didn't waste any time with that either. One of the most descriptive synopsis of the entire show was in two lines of actual dialog from the Pilot:

Lana: What are you, man or superman?
Clark: I haven't figured it out yet.

Brilliant! :up: :D

[NHawk19]

Visually, I bet you're right. But I think the plethora of overt references has been in the dialog.

Yes I do concede that those references most people would catch are in the dialogue. However, when comparing the # of times a reference comes up in dialogue vs the # of visual references, I think there are a larger # of subtle/subliminal visual references like color, because in every shot there is something red, blue or yellow. Really how many times have we seen Clark w/o at least one of these colors, and I'll even discount the appearance of blue jeans.

BTW, way to work in the word plethora. Large vocabulary isn't exactly something usually in abundance on message boards.

It relieves the monotony, doesn't read to the audience, and is still pretty damn funny.

The memory tank (shaped like Superman's shield) as seen in Memoria:

OK, WHAT THE HELL

[Kaboom]

so ive seen every episode of smallvill and i for the life of me cant remember the episode where the purpose and meaning of \8/ is explained. and i cant remeber what it means ether.....any help?

[AgentPat]

so ive seen every episode of smallvill and i for the life of me cant remember the episode where the purpose and meaning of \8/ is explained. and i cant remember what it means ether.....any help?It's just SV's take on the Superman \S/ shield. The infinity symbol ("8") correlates to the letter "S" in the DC comics created Kryptonian alphabet, so the SV folks just ran with it, and in a big way. I love it! It's different, but still very appropriate. I'm looking forward to see how they will eventually morph it into the more familiar \S/ logo. :D

Oh, and btw, Dr. Doom, listen to the commentary track on Memoria. They may not have been totally successful, but the memory tank WAS indeed constructed to resemble the Superman diamond shield, albeit elongated for the actors to lay inside of it. There was an awful lot of water in that tank, so they couldn't make it to scale - it would have been too massive, not to mention dangerous. A rectangle tank big enough to hold a person, say 6 feet long by 2 feet wide by 2 feet tall, holds 180 gallons of water. Water weighs 8.33 pounds per gallon. Do the math. That's 1500 pounds! Factor in the glass, which would weigh about 310 pounds, and the person inside of it, and you have a TON of weight. I'm not surprised they had to skimp in areas, just to be safe. As it is, the tank they used probably had way over a ton of water in it alone. Look at the size of it compared to Welling. He's a big guy; it looks like you could put TWO of him in there - comfortably! LOL

[Serene]

Resurrecting an old thread because I wasn't sure where else to post this.

Not a \S/ or an \8/, but when I see a big S.M. next to this guy, I think SuperMan. :D

Speaking of the Smallville \8/ logo. I saw this mirror that would be the PERFECT template to base the Smallville \S/ on! If you can't make it out, it's an 'S' that is shaped into an '8.' I believe it was purchased from Ikea.

The SR shield (as seen in the film's marketing poster) has a rounded top instead of being flat. It also has a flatter profile; it's not as tall. The SV suit logo will probably be even more different than that.

...And before people start asking to borrow my crystal ball, the logo - like the suit itself - can NOT be the same for legal reasons. It HAS to be different in some way. :)

Yes Excatly [the shape of The S is 100 % excatly the same as The one in RETURNS] The emblem looks excatly the same .

No they don't, the shield is the classic 1, the S had to be changed, the 1 on the classic shield is outdated.

[AgentPat]

You guys arguing this here, too? :rolleyes:

[cuts and pastes posts from Superworld]


It's not the exact same shield. The SR shield is more flatter overall (width greater than height), and it has rounded sides, most notably at the top...

http://www.patcostello.com/temp/shield-sr.jpg http://www.patcostello.com/temp/shield-sr2.jpg


The SV shield is taller and has flat sides...

http://www.patcostello.com/temp/shield-sv.jpg http://www.patcostello.com/temp/shield-sv2.jpg


Both are raised emblems and have the same tail on the S, but the SR shield has an additional raised line that runs laterally down the body of the letter.

They're NOT the same. Time to move on, yes?

[Super Kal]

technically, they're almost the same... but they're nto exactly the same. the above post shows a small difference in the shapes that create the "S" in the insignia:

on the SR symbol, the triangle on the top of the largest symbol is much smaller than the oen shown in the Smallville episode...

Also, in the SR symbol, the part of the largest symbol that makes the top curve of the "S" is much skinnier and has a much fuller "S" shape than the smallville counterpart

[AgentPat]

^ Exactly. There's enough minor differences in both emblems to fulfill the legal requirements in percentage - whatever that amount is - for the two shields to be called "different." Both are still fully trademarked logos of Warners however, and both represent the Superman franchise.

Actually... now that I think about it, I'm surprised folks aren't arguing a whole different thing now since the real deal Superman shield has finally shown up on Smallville. :p

maybe im not up on the intricacies of the \S/ but they all look the same to me....how can you call that the returns symbol? its not raised, or maroon. ITS RED!!! it the SV symbol!

No the returns \S/ is the same thing Smallville is using? I am just wondering why. I always thought they would do the \S/ to look more like Reeve or is this part of the rule everything related to Superman must be kept close with the movie rule?

the top right corbner of the S is totally different.

[NHawk19]

No the returns \S/ is the same thing Smallville is using? I am just wondering why. I always thought they would do the \S/ to look more like Reeve or is this part of the rule everything related to Superman must be kept close with the movie rule?

I can see why you'd say that but it isnt a perfect copy of the SR one either.

I just don't see people are thinking they're the same...

[Brainiac 8]

I just don't see people are thinking they're the same...I am not saying it has to be a perfect coopy but that is the Returns \S/ . Hell even the comics are using it nowhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v31/murp27/Page-2.jpg

I am just wonding why they didn't use Reeve's \S/? Because thats not the classic \S/

^^^ That is

[Kaboom]

i dont see it either.

[Ultimate_Superman]

I see a strong similarity, except the SV one has mo' bettah colors. :)Well it fits the show thats why. SV is more light heart whil the movie had a more darker tone. Kind of like why Superman changed his symbol for Kingdom Come and colors to more darker because he was more darker.

The \S/ does look like the Returns \s/ however the diamond doesn't.

Why are they using the returns symbol???? I thought they were going for the classic symbol example Reeve \S/
The Reeve S wasn't the classic one either, sorry. Here you go, no raising and no colors on the 4 versions of the \S/ that we're discussing:}

Smallville went his own was with the \S/, and yes, it looks kinda SR-ish, but it's not the SR \S/, nor is it the classic or the Reeve \S/.

[War Lord]

I like the Superman Returns one the best.

[Ultimate_Superman]

I like the Superman Returns one the best.A long way from home are you not?

[superboy13]

Your right it's not as wide as the SR but when put on the suit it will then be just as wide and look just like it.
Not necessarily, I know, this manip's kinda crappy, but you get the idea:

http://img346.imageshack.us/img346/6356/wellingshirtriphq1.jpgNot crappy at all but it does look like the Returns \S/ all I am wondering is if they had a say in this or if they were forced to copy it.

[NHawk19]

Not if they dont use a raised symbol. If its fabric like the classic and uses the classic colors then I think you'll see something that looks much different.

[Ultimate_Superman]

I think the body suit will be like that but who knows the \S/ may be sewn on.

[Ultimate_Superman]

I think the body suit will be like that but who knows the \S/ may be sewn on.Then again who knows if it is just going to be a shirt rip then they can use fabric.

Dean Cain on the other hand came the closest to the classic \S/

[superboy13]

I think Cain came in the closest to the Classic S with the pilot suit:

Well it fits the show that's why.Well, I like to think it fits SUPERMAN, and that's why it's being done that way. There will always be exceptions to every rule - even SV has had "dark" episodes (Vengeance) - but I think SV's approach is to touch that collective mentality people have of the world in which Superman exists. He's the antithesis of Batman. He lives in a bright, golden world of primary colors. Unlike Gotham, Metropolis is a city of the day, which is fitting since Superman is a character powered by the sun.

Now, c'mon folks. Lets keep this thread on topic. Save discussion about the suit for another thread, eh? As to the logo, THIS is what we actually saw on SMALLVILLE...

It's the Superman shield (duh!), and a very colorful one at that. :up: :D

This thread is on topic Pat. This is about the \S/ and I am just wondering why they went with the SR \S/.

Not yet. Lose The Blue diamond shield , and put back The Red Shield Diamond. Then it's The Official Superman Emblem.

This thread is on topic Pat. This is about the \S/ and I am just wondering why they went with the SR \S/.It is YOUR opinion that it's the SR logo. Others have disagreed. Outside of the fact it's an "S" within a general diamond shaped border, I think there's a huge difference (color, profile, flat borders, etc). Why are you pressing the argument? You think it's the same S. Great. Other people disagree. Move on. Please? Or take the comparisons to SuperWorld. I'm asking nicely.
