2008 FTW. I think that version's actually been the one I think of when I think Batman since I was 9, actually. (Even though technically it was designed in '05, but for whatever reason the actual movie didn't use it.)
In addition, they did miss the 2013 Beware the Batman one, though that's forgivable since IIRC the show literally just started a few weeks back:
I'm also pretty fond of the Batman Beyond one too, not only for nostalgia but also because it's one of the more visceral of the bunch. Generally, simplicity seems to be the key with Bats, as far as branding is concerned.
I haven't gotten the chance to catch it yet. Saturday mornings are terrible for teenage audiences because none of us want to wake up early on weekends.
Ah well. I'll probably see it sometime, at which point I will relay my opinion.
The advertising for BB used the same logo as TDK and TDKR, yeah, but the suit Batsy actually wears in the movie has the logo shown in that infographic.
Strangely, though, the Batarangs used in the movie used the revised version:
Just a weird quirk of that movie they never got the chance to fix until the second one came around, methinks. The case seems to be that the Batsuit logo was originally planned to be used, but the visceral imagery that the Batarang version conveyed ended up winning the team over for the advertising and, ultimately, the rest of the Dark Knight trilogy.

So I noticed JCPenney seems to have reverted to their pre-2011 logo.
The strangest part is that the text on the site seems to all be in Gotham, implying a match with the most recent redesign, but apparently that's not the real logo anymore so it's all disharmonious.

Welp, that's a thing. I guess the big revamp they were hyping last year didn't end up playing out.
I admit, I worry for the chain's future now...Penney's was always a favorite of mine...

I've read lot of headlines/articles saying that they, like Sears Holdings, were circling the drain. However, JCPenney is at least moving its arms in an attempt to swim against the tide, whereas Sears and Kmart just seem to be headed there. I'm not sure if Sears or Kmart will even be around in five years.
(Kmart's probably likelier to die; people are all "boohoo Sears" but too many poor people shop at Kmart and too many of the stores are unrenovated/neglected relics and as a result people consider it a bane)
Walmart, as maligned as it is, is still better than Kmart. That should say something.
Also, I imagine Sears is still important to people my age and older, since before the mid-1980s you couldn't get, say, Winnie-the-Pooh merchandise anywhere else...and since my aunt worked at Sears, that's where a lot of my baby clothes came from. It's sentimental value more than anything.

Is CLEditor usually this fiddly or did Vanilla just ship with a really buggy version of it?
If the new CEO's "win back the crowd" strategy works, it'll stick around.
For those keeping score, here's a logo history! I had to make the early 2013 one on my own because lolnobodycaredaboutitanyway.
Also, it's worth mentioning that they dropped the square motif in between the 2006 and 2011 redesigns, but I didn't bother including it.
2000 for the win because it reminds me of those one back to school commercials they ran back in like 2004 and 2005 where they had the kids dancing to "The Choice Is Yours (Revisited)" and some other song I enjoyed but couldn't ever find. But still. #it'sallinside

I'm leaning toward "buggy", since it seems like it's never been tested with later versions of Chrome. None of the weird bugs it has seem to happen on Firefox or Iceweasel...

Yep!
Honestly I was surprised I didn't see anybody bitching about the new appearance of the Dashboard; you know how Tumblr loves to rant about the smallest changes

In 1995, KGW spent a bundle on this 8 and grew to hate it
When I first saw it around 2009 (after wondering for years what it looked like due to it being referenced on jcbD's website) I remember finding it to look like the most podunk thing ever

Also, it's so cluttered
The overly-wordy "Northwest NewsChannel 8" brand debuted with that logo, and there's a triangle for northwest and a green triangle behind the 8 for Mount Hood
Yeesh, at least they got rid of it the year it was introduced

I always wondered why anyone thinks such cluttered logos are a good idea

I'm not sure what to make of that, somehow. My first thought was "at least they realized last year's didn't work."
Also, is it just me or is closinglogos.com's hosting really awful? It keeps dropping packets and making the video embeds not load (since they go through some sort of filter script on the wiki's servers).

If that were the final product of last year's brouhaha they'd be in much better standing.
Slogan still sucks, but eh.
