DC Comics unveils the official Harley Quinn 25 logo

DC Comics rolled out the official Harley Quinn 25th Anniversary logo and it’s the perfect fit for such a perfectly unpredictable character.

Harley Quinn is many things, so how do you create a logo fit for her big 25th anniversary celebration? It’s a big job, but the good folks over at DC Comics have managed to capture the essence of Harley Quinn in time to kick off a celebration of all things Harley.

The new Harley Quinn logo is a harlequin face, half red and half black, with a big smile and “Harley Quinn 25” written on it. The announcement of the new logo, made on social media, is accompanied by the official hashtag: #HarleyQuinn25.

There are several events planned for Harley’s big 25 at San Diego Comic Con, including the world premiere of Batman and Harley Quinn, an all-new animated feature starring Batman legend Kevin Conroy and newcomer Melissa Rauch (Big Bang Theory) as Harley. Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner, the writers who bring Harley to life in the current Harley Quinn Rebirth comic series, will also be on hand to celebrate with Harley’s co-creator Paul Dini.

If you find it hard to believe that Harley has only been around for 25 years, you’re not alone. A common misconception is that Harley Quinn is a lot older than her 25 years. Many fans think she originated in the comics universe when in fact she debuted as Mistah J’s main squeeze in Batman: The Animated Series in 1992. She only made a few appearances, but she caught on in a big way.

Over the years Harley has made guest appearances in feature length animated features as well as her live action debut in 2016’s Suicide Squad. She has also appeared in her own comic series that has spawned its own spinoffs.
