What it seems like is that Grant & Frank proposed a new S logo for this series, DC took them seriously for a while but at the last minute decided their iconic trademark S was too precious to change at all, esp. for a title aimed at readers who maybe aren't super comic book fans (the whole 'these are the Classic versions of the characters that the average man/woman on the street know' approach to the All-Star line).
Similar things happened right before Greg Rucka took over Wonder Woman, the artist had designs that were shown in various comics news magazines that would change Diana's costume, take away the star-spangled panties and make them a permanent star-spangled skirt, and make her look more Greek, change her hairstyle a bit. It seemed these were a go until the issue came out and lo and behold, Diana was drawn the way we all know her, the 'classic' WW look. So basically, DC seems very hesitant to change the look of their big 3 characters even in slight ways. (Apparently getting rid of the yellow oval on the Batman in a permanent way doesn't seem to matter much, Batman Begins having solidified that image in the public's mind.) |
