Oni Press has revealed a brand-new logo and company icon ahead of New York Comic Con. Designed by Eisner Award nominee Patrick Crotty, recently recognized for his acclaimed design on Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim 20th Anniversary Hardcover Box Sets, the new look will debut this November on Crownsville #1, the hotly anticipated supernatural thriller from Rodney Barnes and Elia Bonetti.
Oni Press has only carried two logos in its nearly three-decade history. The original, designed by Watchmen co-creator Dave Gibbons, appeared on classics like Clerks: The Comic Book by Kevin Smith & Jim Mahfood. The second, introduced in 2012 by Keith A. Wood, adorned titles ranging from The Sixth Gun by Cullen Bunn & Brian Hurtt to Out of Alcatraz by Christopher Cantwell & Tyler Crook. Now, Oni is turning the page once more with a fresh, modern identity.
“We’ve been blessed to celebrate a great number of successes at Oni Press in recent years, but our mission remains the same: to work hand-in-hand with incredibly talented creators to tell stories that reflect our modern moment through the ever-powerful lens of comics,” said David Steward II, Chairman of the Oni-Lion Forge Publishing Group and CEO of Polarity. “Now, as Oni prepares to reach even greater heights ahead in the months and years to come, it’s the perfect time to refresh the company’s footprint in comic shops and bookstores with an aesthetic that’s every bit as bright and bold as the stories we put onto the page.”

“It’s an exhilarating time to be publishing comics under the Oni Press banner,” added Oni Press Editor-in-Chief Sierra Hahn. “Our first giant-sized Adventure Time special by Eisner Award winner Caroline Cash just hit stands. The first issue of High Strangeness – our new collaboration with SpectreVision – begins this week. We’re sending some of our most anticipated graphic novels of 2026 – including First Freedom: The Story of Opal Lee and Juneteenth – to the printer in the next few days. And we’re in the midst of major new initiatives like the expansion of the EC Comics line with Outlaw Showdown, the imminent return of Cult of the Lamb, and the upcoming debut of Murder Drones. Simultaneously, we’re deep into plotting and planning our next major wave of creator-owned comics and graphic novels… Ambitious, art-forward, and high energy – we wanted our new logo to reflect the same captivating qualities we aspire to deliver with our comics, and we are so pleased to finally share the results.”

Oni President & Publisher Hunter Gorinson echoed the excitement: “At Oni Press, we live, eat, and breathe comics. It’s a great privilege and a true dream to be able to collaborate with creators and cartoonists we deeply admire to bring their work to the widest audience possible. For nearly three decades, Oni has prided itself on elevating new voices, taking creative risks, and, above all, championing the comics medium as a global art form with a far-reaching power all its own. Now, with our 30th anniversary just over the horizon, we’re gearing up to unveil the first of several major new surprises that will propel us toward even greater heights in the years ahead. We’re ready for it – onward!”
The reveal comes on the heels of Oni’s most successful year yet, with blockbuster campaigns like Murder Drones: The Official Graphic Novel (read more about that here), which has already raised nearly $1 million on Kickstarter, and high-profile expansions including Scott Pilgrim’s 20th anniversary and the revival of EC Comics. More news is expected at New York Comic Con 2025 during the “Oni Press: The Loudest Thing in Color” panel on Friday, October 10th.

Changing up logos seems to be in fashion, with IDW revealing a new logo just last year.
