Today we celebrate the birthday of Ira Schnapp, born today in 1894. Schnapp was a logo designer and letterer who brought his classic and art deco design styles to DC Comics (then National Comics) beginning with the redesign of the Superman logo in 1940. #IraSchnapp
Based on the 1952 Girls' Love Stories logo by Ira Schnapp. This 1973 original art for Girls' Love Stories #180 is by Scott Pike, lettered by Gaspar Saladino.

With huge help from John Roshell of @comicraft1992.bsky.social, I was able to get my #IraSchnapp on with styling the #artofthecomicbook site. Thanks, bud!

...with the fantastic calligraphy of Ira Schnapp and Gaspar Saladino deservedly taking up most of the space! #iraschnapp #gaspar #comicbooklettering
Added "America" on a whim to the Inky Stories logo for the '60s Ira Schnapp vibe. After tracing the JLA logo, I recreated letters it doesn't have (N, K, Y, and O).

I'm using a distorted font as a guide to draw the logo by hand, trying to mimic legendary @dccomicsreal.bsky.social calligrapher #IraSchnapp.
Basing the design of my #davevsdave cover on early '60s DC Comics of Ira Schnapp, with the Inky Stories logo on his JLA logo (slanted block no control shape variation).
