![]() ![]() In the 2000s TV series Smallville, the S symbol originally appeared as a diamond with a vertical infinity symbol (to be similar to the S), in an attempt to make it seem more alien. In the miniseries Kingdom Come, an aged Superman sported an S-like symbol against a black background in a red pentagon. Not only did the colors and powers change, the logo also evolved into a re-imagined "electric" emblem. The effective material found to create Superman's suit, along with being blue and silver, was also courtesy of Lex Luthor. In 1997's Superman Vol 2 #123 Superman's new powers forced him to find a suit that was capable of containing his new abilities. In 1992’s 75th edition of Vol 2, the logo is shown blood stained, depicting Superman’s death. In the mid-1990s, when Superman's costume and powers changed briefly, during the " Superman Red/Superman Blue" comic book storylines, the shield changed colors and slightly changed shape, in accordance with the changes in the costume. ![]() The classic logo is the basis for virtually all other interpretations of the logo. It has, in most incarnations, retained its original color, while changing shape here and there. ![]() Extreme examples of this would be the very large logo on the Dean Cain costume from the television series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and the comparatively small version of the shield as depicted in the 2006 film Superman Returns. The S has varied in size and shape and the diamond shape containing it has also changed size and shape. It was black with a red S outlined with white (or occasionally with yellow). The shield first became a diamond in the Fleischer cartoon serial Superman. The shield varied over the first few years of the comics, and many times was nothing more than an inverted triangle with an S inside of it. The symbol was first changed a few issues later in Action Comics #7. In its original inception in Action Comics #1, Superman's symbol was a letter S with red and blue on a yellow police badge symbol that resembled a shield. ![]()
