The \8/ and the \S/

[Kaboom]

unfortunatley no, just that.

 

[RakuMon]

Ya know, these two aren't all that similar at all. Smallville's S shield is clearly its own distinct version.

 

[superboy13]

Yeah, but what I meant all along is, SV's \S/ is loosely based on the SR's one... giving it the same feel. In my opinion, they're similar. Identical? No way, but they look alike.

 

[Kaboom]

the reason they look alike is because they have to! theres only so many ways an S can look. would you prefer this:

\Q/

 

[The Caped Knight]

Ok Can Someone color this to look excatly like the Superman emblem [with the red s and diamond shield & The Yellow inside .]

 

[superboy13]

"See anything familiar?"

 

[Kaboom]

"See anything familiar?"

nope

I'm not even sure it's "based" on the Returns logo. The only trait they share is that both omit the "bubble" on the tail of the S. Jim Lee's Superman Shield pre-dates Superman Returns by a couple of years. He too omits the bubble.

What sets Smallville's shield apart is that the 'S' seems to be at an angle inside the diamond. I don't recall another design quite like that one.

"See anything familiar?"

It's got more of the classic as well as Reeve look to it than The Returns in that pic .

Compeared to this pic.

Which look more like the Returns Symbol

 

[Kaboom]

i think any consistency between returns and SV's \s/ is due to the fact that they are boht interpretations of the \s/ itself. to say that SV is using SR's shield is just grasping for starws.

like when people say every Superman drawn with high cheek bones lok like Welling.

What I am saying is it is based off of it now is it the exact same??? No but it looks close. Hell my wife even asked why they were using the Returns symbol as well as friends so I am just saying it looks like it I am not saying they copied it.

i know people here aren't really fond of the movie, but there's no denying the similarities. Instead of people thinking those guys are grasping straws, it seems more like you guys are in denial. ALSO, I've seen recent comics that are drawing their S's that way. There's nothing wrong with it.

It's a great looking 'S'.

All of the Superman shield logos look the "same" in concept, but have enough minor differences to distinguish one from another. The SV shield is just as similar to the Reeve and Cain logos as it is to the SR logo, but they all have enough minor unique characteristics that make each special to themselves. For example, the SV logo has flat sides while the SR logo is rounded. Big deal. They're both still s's and are clearly recognized AS the "Superman shield."

Now, please... I beg people, Move. ON! Take the minutia comparisons to SUPERWORLD where it belongs. PLEASE!!! There's multiple threads already started and active on the subject of Supes' shield logos. Here's two on the FIRST page alone:

Hey Pat, are you going to change your avvie now that the actual SV Shield has been revealed?

But isn't that what this thread is for to talk about and compare the \8/ and \S/ to other \s/ in Superman history and thats what we're doing now. Now correct me if I am wrong if that is not the purpose of this thread then no other Superman \S/ should appear in here am I right? No one here is getting out of line and everyone is being civil to one another. I mean if this is the case then shouldn't the Welling/SV in the comics thread be moved to Super-World as well as this one? I am just saying Pat you can't deny how close the two look to one another.

I don't understand why you're upset. I'm not trying to pick a fight here. We're all on the same team. I was just trying to give my two cents (i am still have teh right to do that right?) No need to get defensive.

This is to everyone overall, I don't see why you can't like both, or neither, and still be a superman fan, it DOESN't have to be a dichotomy...its not like in order to be a devout smallville, you must hate the movie...because that's ******ed...each one is their own interpretation of the mythos, because by that same argument, all smallville fans hate the superman comic books and L&C...and neither are 100% close to the original comics, in fact, even within the comic universe they aren't all the same. I like them both a lot, but i don't think either one perfect, by no means. The movie made a lot of mistakes, just like the show.

you dont have a history of posting here. its not that we hate the movie (though i will say that most of us are not particularly fond of it) its that SR-philes constantly come here to tell us how great their movie is compared to our show. then, we have to endure things like "the SV shield is ripping off SR"

it gets annoying. which is why SR is not allowed to be spoken about in here. Unfortunatley the mods havent been enforcing that as of late.

All-star and K-8 have been posting here for a while, and we get it, and we have those debates and move on. their are no hard feelings bc we are accustomed to eachother, even if the harping on the subject gets a little tired.

what we as a group (hopefully i speak for the rest of us, if not, im sorry) do not feel like we have to put up with are people who show up here out of nowhere talking about how great SR is compared to SV and that the only good stuff from SV comes from SR.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Pat I'm not trying to start a fight with you, but You should alow us to share are own opinion.

I too see the similarities between the SR Emlbem and SV's as well .

Just because you don't agree doesn't mean we can share our views on the issue.

Also no one is fighting or being rude. So their's really no need to have an outburst like that .

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Hell my wife even asked why they were using the Returns symbol as well as friends so I am just saying it looks like it I am not saying they copied it.

I thought you were like 15?

But now one is saying that. Well atleast I'm not I am just saying the two look very much alike and wonder if thats part of the WB deal with the show that everything dealing with Superman has to look close to it. Now if the \S/ looked like Reeve \S/ we wouldn't be having this talk and we would be saying it looks like Reeve \S/ hell if it was based off of TAS or Cain \S/ we would be do the same thing but it doesn't look like theirs. Now I think the SV is great but you have to admit they do look alike.

no 25 but nice joke Hulk I laughed alittle.

 

[Kaboom]

^^^i admit only that theyre similiar only because hey come from a common ancestor.
