these cymbal strike fear into villains
and fill our hearts with hope
Stars and Stripes a little old-fashioned
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we'll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 superhero symbols for this list we're
looking at the best symbols associated
with particular superheroes number 10
Captain America's star
simple patriotic and iconic Captain
America star is the definition of
American strength the intensity of the
colors has changed slightly over the
years but the design on the shield
remains largely the same a white star in
a blue circle surrounded by rings of red
and white the star is also located on
caps chest and can likely be found in
the nightmares of every member of Hydra
number nine Green Lanterns Lantern Wow
I know right some of the best symbols
stand for more than just one specific
person and that's exactly what the
iconic Lantern does look for all my
power when it comes down to it I'm just
a beat cop there are tons of Green
Lantern's patrolling the universe and
almost all of them bear the lantern on
their chest your sector is a thousand
times larger than 3600 lanterns each
from the sector just as fast while this
logo loses some points for lack of
creativity sometimes simple is better
and the color scheme and minimalist
design work together perfectly our
finest warrior light can never be
replaced
number eight Wonder Woman's
double-double yeah Wow Wonder Woman's
twin w's represent her initials the
design also looks like a bird with wings
stretched out demonstrating her ability
to fly and matches the shape of her
costume perfectly
some versions of the design actually
give the symbol an eagle's head
furthering the insignias patriotic
symbolism you're an American but you're
going to tell me a little more about
yourself who are you add in the stars
with the red white and blue color scheme
and Wonder Woman is the perfect
embodiment of female strength and
determination number 7 X men's X
[Music]
while the X isn't the most creative
symbol on the list it certainly is
recognizable when you see that X you
know you are dealing with the x-men a
superhero team of mutants led by Charles
Xavier what do they call you we use
there are many different color schemes
of the symbol however which have changed
several times over the years but it's
usually an encircled yellow or black X
over a red background number 6 the flash
is lightning bolt but that's really no
excuse does the flash even need a logo
considering he can run so fast
no one will be able to see it
[Music]
if crooks did catch a glimpse at the
iconic lightning bolt however they would
no doubt run as fast as they could in
the opposite direction not the bat would
help the red and yellow color scheme is
extremely impactful while the Lightning
accurately represents the flashes
incredible speed you may have my powers
Tom but you have almost zero imagination
about using them number five the
Punishers skull a symbol needs to be
indicative of what the hero does and
there is perhaps no better example of
this than the classic skull used by the
Punisher in certain extreme situations
the law is an effort in order to shame
it's inadequacy it is necessary to act
outside the law he wears the large skull
on his shirt so criminals have something
to aim at which usually doesn't help
when they are already dead the skull
symbolizes everything the Punisher
stands for an uncompromising sense of
justice that doesn't matter to me all I
care about is stopped in the slime bags
who prey on innocent lives number four
the Fantastic Four's
forever loose what did he do to his
uniform yeah it's sort of Armani meets
astronaut simple yes but when villains
see the number four in the little white
circle they know they are about to get
clobbered you three are possessed
while only three members of the team
wear the logo mainly because it's hard
for the thing to fit into a shirt it's
one of the most recognized symbols in
the Marvel Universe
you know you have a good logo when it
stays essentially the same for over 50
years number three
spider-man's spider well spider-man
symbol has been modified several times
over the years the general design has
always remained the same spidey spider
is one of the most recognizable symbols
in the Marvel world the symbol is
usually black allowing it to clearly
stand out against the red and white
backdrop of spider-man's costume
surrounded by webbing the logo is easily
recognizable and a source of fear for
criminals and supervillains alike well
if it isn't a meeting of the diamond
lovers of America spider-man we're
number two
Superman's s hi is it an S or a
Kryptonian symbol regardless
Superman's logo is not only one of the
most famous symbols in the DC universe
it is one of the most famous symbols in
the entire world and it set the
standards for all other superhero logos
to follow
[Applause]
the bright red and yellow catch the eye
instantly while the upside-down triangle
brings to mind the durability of a
diamond
[Music]
is there a more iconic superhero image
than a shot of Clark Kent opening his
dress shirt to reveal the famous s
[Music]
excuse me before we unveil our number
one pick here are a few honorable
mentions
[Applause]
number one Batman's bat blood bets lost
the way that's frightened me
this time my enemies shared my dredging
the perfect blend of cool and iconic the
bat symbol is our top choice for the
best superhero logo the negative space
creating the bat accurately represents
Batman's dark nature and brooding
persona the symbol looks great on
everything
Batman's felt the batarangs and almost
every gadget he carries whether it comes
with the yellow oval or not
it always looks great especially when
emblazoned across the sky
