All I care about is the stories and art inside the book, I'm just happy I can afford to buy comic books these days. (they aren't cheap you know!)

(Also, hard to see here, but the first book has an almost-imperceptible drop shadow on the lettering as well!)Honestly, I may not have bought USM V12 had a I realized the logo was different - I had already had the "World according to" and "Chameleons" MPCs, and I only upgraded to have them in OHC. Ah well.

Well, as a marketing professional, I get it. Your logo is your most recognizable aspect of your brand; it should be consistent, and identical, on everything you do. If the white on red rectangle is the "official" Marvel logo, then it should be used, on everything, from your movie credits to toys to corporate stationary to your book spines. It's just marketing 101.
