A New logo (dubbed the "DC spin")

Time: Sunday May 8, 2005 warning

Place: U.S.

Details: On May 8, 2005, a new logo (dubbed the "DC spin") was unveiled, debuting on DC titles in June 2005 with DC Special: The Return of Donna Troy #1 and the rest of the titles the following week. In addition to comics, it was designed for DC properties in other media, which was used for movies since Batman Begins, with Superman Returns showing the logo's normal variant, and the TV series Smallville, the animated series Justice League Unlimited and others, as well as for collectibles and other merchandise. The logo was designed by Josh Beatman of Brainchild Studios

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
