IDW Publishing has revealed a new logo inspired by the company’s prestigious history. The new logo embraces its next era as it looks to the next 25 years of entertainment. IDW’s director of design, Nathan Widick, crafted the logo.
“This rebrand was an opportunity for us to redefine the entire identity of IDW from the ground up. During the process, we went through hundreds of different designs, concepts, and ideas, including a big push to retool our classic lightbulb logo. Ultimately, we decided that rather than looking back, it was time for us to look forward and show the world the new and bold direction of IDW with a dynamic and innovative identity.” Widick added, “The simple and effective combination of the company’s identifying letters rendered in dynamic forward-moving angles perfectly captures the energy and inspirational attitude we are looking to cultivate with this next era of IDW.”
This isn’t the first time IDW has revealed a new logo; in fact, a 25th-anniversary logo was revealed last December.
As you can see, the W is part of the I and D in the logo. A slick look.
“As we turn the page to a new chapter at IDW Publishing, our rebrand is more than a new look—it’s a signal of our renewed commitment to creativity and storytelling. With this bold new logo, we are not just revisiting our roots but pushing forward to redefine what a comic book publisher can be,” said Aub Driver, Director of Marketing. “This rebrand is set to match the innovative and diverse storytelling our team is passionate about delivering. It marks a pivotal moment as we continue to engage our loyal fan base and welcome new readers worldwide.”
