2016 – today
The anglicized logo of the show depicts a left-facing crimson crescent with an inner black layer. In it, the designers inserted the show’s name. The ‘Demon Slayer’ part is written using tattered, jagged serif letters – all uppercase. The second bit of the name, the Japanese name ‘Kimetsu no yaiba’ is placed below. These letters use a more typical sans-serif style.
Font and Color
The main logo has two distinct text styles. One is used for the English name – written in two big lines. The letters used in this fragment are capitalized, and the outside letters are additionally enlarged. The style looks jagged, cut haphazardly and overall gory. It alludes to the anime’s own brutal visuals.
The other font is just a regular thin sans serif, used for the Latinized original name below the main thing. Both are black, although the crescent around also uses blood red.
