=== June 1938 – July 1946 (Issues #1 – #98) ===
Starting with #61 (Jun-43) the background and bars were occasionally removed entirely. 
A badge was placed in the upper-left hand corner from #5 through #15 (Oct-38 through Aug-39), overlapping the logo. 
Starting with #16 (Sep-39), the badge was replaced with this one. 
=== August 1946 – October 1956 (Issues #99 – #221) ===
The original Superman badge disappeared with #128 (Jan-49).

 A new Superman badge began appearing every other issue starting with #153 (Feb-51). 
=== November 1954 – October 1968 (Issues #198 – #368) ===
Starting with #198 (Nov-54), this logo alternated with the previous one every other issue, until it replaced it entirely in #222 (Nov-56), at which point the previous Superman badge disappeared. Unlike its predecessor, the degree to which it was printed on an angle varied, and it was gradually and inconsistently straightened out.
