Meaning and History
Wonder Woman was created by American psychologist William Moulton Marston (pseudonym Charles Moulton) and artist Harry G. Peter. The artistic image prototypes are the wife of the prose writer Elizabeth Holloway Marston and their friend, the feminist Mary Olive Byrne. The nature of the character’s drawing was constantly changing, as was the emblem.
What is Wonder Woman?
This is the superhero alias of Diana Prince – a girl who possesses superhuman agility, combat skills, invulnerability, super strength, and the ability to fly. This character first appeared in the 8th issue of All-Star Comics in 1941.
1941 – 1982
From the very beginning, comics’ heroine received an individual sign in the form of a golden eagle. It was placed on a red bodice and looked like a bird with its wings spread wide. Smooth curves and sloping lines gave it femininity.
1982 – today
Forty years later, artist George Perez redesigned the logo. Using the initial two-letter acronym “WW,” he gave it a precise geometric shape. But the designer refused to make the classic feminine monogram. He created a winged symbol from interlaced signs in several color variations. Light emblems have dark dividing lines, dark ones vice versa. This logo is still considered relevant. In the 2005-2006 Infinite Crisis period, the heroine also acquired a similarly shaped luminous belt.
2006 – today
The next option is a combination of “WW” with an eagle outline. It has a characteristic head turned to the left and a specific beak with a curved end. The strict forms are preserved, as is the color.
2011 – 2016
In addition to previous versions, there is one more – for cinema. The wings of the bird are wider and narrower. They have a slight glow with metallic tints.

Another logo was featured in the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League films. It looks very strict and consists of wide lines and rectangles aligned in a double “W” shape.
Font and Colors
As conceived by the artist who created the emblem for Wonder Woman, it is an original combination of the abbreviation. This technique turned out to be creative and took root for many years: all subsequent logos were built around the “W” and the eagle.
The words are arranged in two levels and written in a strict geometric typeface in the upper case. The letters are played in a unique style. They are wide, with large serifs and red shadows for a 3D effect. The crossbars “A” and “E” look like miniature triangles.
The logo palette has always included bright yellow. It also contains several shades of white, black, and gold.

What is the logo of Wonder Woman?

What is Wonder Woman’s catchphrase?
The battle cry of Wonder Woman takes many forms. The most famous exclamations: “By the Spear of Athena!”, “Neptune’s Trident!”, “Shades of Pluto!”, “Thunderbolts of Jove!”, “Great Hera!”, “Suffering Sappho!”
Why is Wonder Woman a feminist icon?
This idea was first expressed by the historian Tim Hanley. In his opinion, Wonder Woman in her new role symbolizes equality and sisterhood, and her image is no longer the embodiment of female superiority.
How old is the Wonder Woman logo?
The first Wonder Woman logo appeared with her back in the early 1940s. But the symbol acquired the letter form only in 1980. As for the modern version, it has been in use since 2006.
