DC [circle] (Brand Emblem)

1970 - 1979

Number of Issues:: 722
Notes:: The letters DC inside a circle. Originally a solid-colored circle (used on DC Special), then an open circle (used across the line, often with the series title inside), then a more compact open circle (used on the giant-size comics after the main line switched to the "The Line of DC Super Stars" brand). The last version was used for two faux-reprints in 1999-2000.

Also used by National Book Store and Goodwill Bookstore in the Philippines for their DC reprints.
