So, my fiance and are trying to figure out how many variations there have been of the Spider-Man symbol. I can only think of three, the one with the rounded body, the one with the legs almost touching, and the movie one. He says there's like 5. I'm pretty sure there's been more than three but I can't think of any more and he can't either. So, how many has there been? And if you have pics of the various ones, that'd be great too.
 
I can think of these.....

1. Round body
2. oval body
3. with all 4 legs pointing down ( Look at Amazing Fantasy #15 cover )
4. The Venom spider symbol ( comic-book version )
5. The Venom symbol ( movie version )
6. The Ben Reilly / May Parker spider symbol
7. The new suit Tony Stark made for Spidey
8. The spider on the spider-man unlimited suit.
9. The spider on the spider-man 2099 suit (But it's not Peter in this suit)

That's about it, all other variations would be
artistic interpretation of the original symbol.

Later :)
 
Does the Scarlet Spider symbol count?

I got the first three and I wasn't counting Venom or Spidey's other than Parker, but thanks.


Wait, which symbol; chest or back?

Both.
 
Pictures of each would be sweet... I'll do what I can when I get home (I'm at work right now)... :ninja:
 
This is basically what I've found so far.

Just talking about the spider on the front of the red and blues- many an artist draws it slightly different to the previous. There are numerous versions of that particular symbol alone.
Similarly, re- the red spider on the back of the red and blues, look how different these key artists interpretations where-

Ditko- Small body/ long legs-

Romita- Balenced body/ leg ratio

Ramos- Big body/ small zig-zag legs (looks more like a tick)

Hi there,

Does anyone have a decent image of the scarlet spiders symbol used on the hoodie? I have been trawling the net for ages but alas cannot find any decent symmetrical ones :(

Cheers,

Does it count in the 1967 Spidey cartoon when a lot of the time the symbol was drawn with only 6 legs? :D
 
What about with mandibles & without?
Oh, Unlimited & the Stark Sidekick suit.

The symbol on the 2099 suit is more of a skull than a spider.
