The G.I. Joe logo has gone through several iterations:
Not to mention some others that I couldn't find images for. But the Cobra logo has more or less remained the same since they first appeared. It may have changed slightly in width or shape, but it's always been this: Even for Rise of Cobra it was this. Which is weird, because I thought since it was for the movie they would change it up, because they changed everything else up so why not? But no... Say what you will about Cobra, but they know what works. |

Honestly, I think that's because the COBRA symbol is aesthetic perfection.

The Cobra, Decepticon and Autobot logos are pretty solid, and there's no need to update them.
When they tried with the G2 icons, they frankly sucked and looked like bad 90s versions of the 80s awesome logos. We see which have stood the test of time. The Joe logo is essentially the same, but the Rise of Cobra "Joe" logotype shouldn't be considered a big step in the evolution, but an alternate version. You can see with PoC that they're going back to the classic look, simply updated. Also of note, the G.I. Joe brand has been around for 50 years or so, and it has changed a lot in that time. Cobra's logo has only been around since 82 or so. Last edited by Mandingo Rex; 07-15-2010 at 02:18 AM.. |

Symbols are powerful, especially dubious ones. It may not have the same historical significance, but in terms of villainy it rates up there with the swastika and Jolly Roger. The thing just screams bad guy. No need to change such a fear inspiring classic.
