How would you rank the designs of Superman’s crest? Do you have a favorite? Do you have a least favorite?

Ooh interesting question! While I'm not the kind of person who would get into fights over how Superman's crest should look, I do have preferences- mostly with what narratively resonates with Superman (boo tomato booo that's what you always saaay).

My "hottest take" is that I disagree with the idea that his "S" logo should look more alien/sci fi, I actually like that it looks like an "S"! Because that gives the narrative opportunity to show that this is a Superman who wants to be accessible to human beings, so he likes that Ma Kent mistranslated an alien symbol into an S. Characters like Kara who are more culturally connected to Krypton should don the more alien looking S to contrast against him. I get that Clark could reclaim the alien S, but I like the idea that he made the symbol what represents him specifically. While not great for branding I personally like it when the Superfam have different symbols.

idk if I care for the Kingdom Come inspired logo if I'm honest haha. It just looks like a "\" to me instead of an "S" like I think it goes for minimalism to the point it begs me not to have feelings about it? Extremely subjective of me, but I wasn't crying sobbing throwing up like other Superman fans were.

don't piss me off asdfasfd. I know I'm a loud hater of this show but I'll be objectively subjective here and say this symbol is just eh to me. Too angular. She's lacking curves.

I know these colors aren't what Superman is usually reimagined with (people streamline the red and yellows so Superman can be all primary colors) but I like this one? Not only is it a fun nod to the Fleischer design, but it modernized the S in a way I find really appealing. The difference in colors directs my eye to the S more because the red pops out so much from it. And it looks the most "Circus Strongman" to me somehow. Plus it's got narrative importance in the story, which I find almost all other Superman media not taking advantage of! She's my favorite. I like her.
