Longtime DC letterer Todd Klein has recently started a series of posts on his blog (kleinletters.com/Blog/) detailing the logos he has designed over the years, including one particular logo that should be pretty darn familiar to Booster Gold fans.

As Klein writes in his post "My Logos A-Z: BIZARRO to BRAIN STORM":

Booster Gold. Client: DC Comics. Medium: pen and ink. Date: 1985. I don't recall if creator Dan Jurgens provided any ideas for this, but he probably did. The dollar sign for the S is something I might not have thought of myself. The bevels add depth when they aren't overwhelmed by heavy colors. Appeared on 25 issues.

In addition to the 1985 run, the logo also appeared in several Who's Who entries as well as on the covers of Booster's Convergence mini-series in 2015, which means it's been used for two centuries. So you know it must be pretty good!

Thanks to Todd for creating such a great logo, and thanks again for permitting me to repost his personal blog content. I encourage anyone interested in the history of comics to read much, much more about Klein's incredible body of work and the designers who inspired him at kleinletters.com (especially his Logo Studies).
