| Oni Press has used two primary logos since the company was first founded by Joe Nozemackand Bob Schreck in 1997. The original logo was designed by Dave Gibbons, the award-winning co-creator of Watchmen and appeared on classic Oni Press comics including Clerks: The Comic Book by Kevin Smith & Jim Mahfood and the Oni Double Feature anthology. The second Oni Press logo was designed by art director Keith A. Wood and introduced in 2012, subsequently adorning more than a decade of iconic and influential creator-owned series from Cullen Bunn & Brian Hurtt’s The Sixth Gun through Christopher Cantwell & Tyler Crook’s Out of Alcatraz, which arrives in hardcover October 22nd.
“We’ve been blessed to celebrate a great number of successes at Oni Press in recent years, but our mission remains the same: to work hand-in-hand with incredibly talented creators to tell stories that reflect our modern moment through the ever-powerful lens of comics,” said David Steward II, Chairman of the Oni-Lion Forge Publishing Group and CEO of Polarity,Oni’s parent company. “Now, as Oni prepares to reach even greater heights ahead in the months and years to come, it’s the perfect time to refresh the company’s footprint in comic shops and bookstores with an aesthetic that’s every bit as bright and bold as the stories we put onto the page.”
“It’s an exhilarating time to be publishing comics under the Oni Press banner,” said Oni Press Editor-in-Chief Sierra Hahn. “Our first giant-sized Adventure Time special by Eisner Award winner Caroline Cash just hit stands. The first issue of High Strangeness – our new collaboration with SpectreVision from creators including Chris Condon, Dave Chisholm, and more – begins this week. We’re sending some of our most anticipated graphic novels of 2026 – including First Freedom: The Story of Opal Lee and Juneteenth – to the printer in the next few days. And we’re in the midst of major new initiatives like the expansion of the EC Comics line with Outlaw Showdown, the imminent return of Cult of the Lamb, and the upcoming debut of Murder Drones, adapted from the hit animated series from Glitch Productions. Simultaneously, we’re deep into plotting and planning our next major wave of creator-owned comics and graphic novels with familiar faces and surprise talents alike – several of which you’ll hear about this week at New York Comic Con. Ambitious, art-forward, and high energy – we wanted our new logo to reflect the same captivating qualities we aspire to deliver with our comics, and we are so pleased to finally share the results.” |
