16 cool super hero icons

To express my excitement for the Thor 2 movie that is out, I have pull together this list of super cool or cute hero icons from both Marvel and DC comics. I loved how designers and artists have interpreted their love for these characters in icon forms. They have picked up design element from the super hero and incorporated their own perspective into the mix to create their own visuals. From the super cute to the super realistic, there is a wide range of styles that is on display here. Please check them out and see how creative our profession can be.

#1: Captain America uniform icon

I was blown away by how cool this icon is. The design is taken from Captain America’s famous uniform that was seen in the Avengers movie. There is jpeg file that you can download if you want to use this design for your personal usage. Very very cool.

#2: Hulk and Bruce Banner icon

The Hulk and Bruce Banner icons looks absolutely spot on even though there isn’t much pencil details. I don’t know who the hell the other 2 guys are but the hulk alone makes this image worth showcasing.

#3: Thor uniform icon

This comes from the same artist as #1 but the details are so fine that I had to profile the same guy twice.

#4: Super hero logo icons

This set is a sleek representation of Superman, Batman and Hawkman’s logo. There is a nice psd file waiting for your download if you find this to be cool. Within the download, there are other DC superhero icons including Aquaman, Red Tornado, Captain Marvel, Captain Atom, Booster Gold and Deadman.

#5: Marvel super hero head icons

Nice design work on the marvel superheroes. Represented here are all the famous heroes from Marvel comics including the avengers and some X men characters. The only downside is the lack of a file to download.

I love the bright colors used to decorate the super heroes’ emblems. Featured above are emblems that belong to Batman, Superman, Flash, Captain America, spider-man and the Invincibles.
