Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be released to the masses on February 2nd, 2024. The reaction to the game so far is mixed, but no one can tell me the team at Rocksteady Studios didn’t nail the game’s logo. Look at this beautiful thing:
I am a sucker for logos that cleverly combine letterforms or, in this case, intersect words. That C/U configuration is the spoke around which the entire logo revolves. The “Kill The Justice League” writing inside SQUAD is a take-it-or-leave-it kind of thing. It doesn’t read well small, but I can overlook that given the sheer beauty of this badass lockup.

I haven’t even mentioned the crosshairs target the logo creates, adding an extra brand element to the proceedings. The four quantrants also reference the quartet of main characters in the game.
Just an incredible bit of design. I don’t know who created this, I suspect it was internal. I initially thought it was Pentagram, given their relationship to DC, I that doesn’t seem to tbe the case. If anyone knows the designer, please let me know so I can reach our and virtually shake their hand.
