World Why did they use a different "S" for the old cartoons?

I was always curious, why did they use a different colored "S" in the Fleisher cartoons?

I like it, and I really liked them using it in New Frontier.

they didn't use a different S that was the one that superman had at the time in the comics. the S has change a lot in 70 years to say the least.

That's the 'real' S.

The question should be, why has it changed so many times into today's version?

because he is ****ing superman he can change is s if he wants to.

 

[wiegeabo]

That's good. Because I prefer the more modern S.

But no one knocks the old school! (Unless it looks really bad)

I'm not %100 familiar with the early comics, but I don't think they used an S with a black background. The earliest one was a yellow triangle with a red S, then it became a red boardered yellow triangle with an S, then the triangle eventually became a diamond.

Comics back in the day had odd art, like jack kurby would change Sues costume in some FF comics so that in one pannel she had pants and in the next she had a skirt.

i don't know if Superman had a black background for the S in the comics back then but the S its self was the same for back then.

To be fair, comics back then were not meant to be works of art, but issues churned out to make a quick buck and so there wasn't as much time spent on artwork.

still better then most today, at least they wanted to give the fans what they want and didn't piss on them.

No question that both DC and Marvel can be fairly accused of abusing their properties to churn out comics.

For me, I always think it looks best in red and yellow.
