Rather than drawing this out in excruciating detail, we can present the evolution of the Superman symbol (the famous S logo that is on the chest of Superman's uniform), through the following image:

A few things worth noting:

Many of the logo changes occurred during the period between 1938 and 1942.

• The more recognizable version of the Superman symbol is believed to have been introduced by celebrated Superman artist Curt Swan. This version is the second to last version of the Superman logo in the diagram above.
• Swan's version is largely based on the version debuted in 1948.
• Superman's standard uniform logo has not changed drastically since the late 1940s.

Hard to believe that something so memorable has changed so many times!
