The best Marvel logos for the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies successfully hail much-loved characters' arrivals on the big screen, often adding a cinematic sheen to designs that originated on the pages of comic books. With The Marvels finally reaching cinemas in 2023, we're recapping the best MCU logos so far.

It was a stroke of genius when Marvel decided to create its own movies, beginning in 2008 with the first Iron Man. In the 1980s and 1990s, movies based on Marvel comics were a mixed bag, to say the least. Long-forgotten turkeys like 1986’s Howard the Duck, 1990’s straight-to-video version of Captain America, and 1998’s Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D (starring David Hasselhoff) show just how risky it was for Marvel to license its characters to third-party movie producers, who didn’t understand or respect the source material.
