What do y'all feel about the DCnU logos over at Newsarama?

The Good:
All-Star Western
Animal Man
Blue Beetle
Batwing
Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E.
Firestorm
Legion of Super-Heroes
Mister Terrific
O.M.A.C.
Resurrection Man
Suicide Squad
Static Shock

The Bad:
Thebatman
Blackhawks
Captain Atom
Grifter
I, Vampire
Legion Lost
Nightwing
Voodoo

At first glance:

Good:
Resurrection Man-Has an old school feel to it. Love the hand for the negative space of the A
Animal Man- Minimalism works here.
Green Arrow-The perspective it has going for it really works. I personally would have maybe had the arrow shooting through the cross part of the A and laying over the two R's cross part and see how that looked.
Catwoman-I don't hate it, but it's very minimal
Batman And Robin-I've always liked this. Symmetrical. Looks solid. No cheesey grunge effect thrown on like half of these other logos.
The Flash-I don't necessarily like the execution as much as I like the idea. I liked the old flash logo a lot, This could look really good if it wasn't so minimal.

Bad:
All Star Western-Pretty much any distressed font at Dafont.com looks like this
Blue Beetle-This looks like an early 90's cartoon logo
Legion Lost-As mentioned at Comics Alliance, this is a rip of the LOST TV show logo
Teen Titans-Seriously how much time was spent on this?
Wonder Woman-Are they really trying hard to grab the 13-15 female pop-punk demographic?
Birds of Prey-For something with feminine characters and animals that are thought of as light and feathery, they really missed the mark by using blocks to form the words
Black Hawks-All I keep seeing is Black Crowes


Everything else not mentioned, are kinda middle ground for me. There's nothing that actually jumps out and wows me. A lot of these look half-assed.

Really like the ASW, Suicide Squad, Blackhawks(especially with the GI Joe feel they seem to be going for), and Frankenstein.

Everyone needs to go read bigredrobot's thoughts on these over on his Guttersniper Tumblr.

Not only is he basically a design genius, but anything of ours you've seen that looks nice is probably because of him.

Pshaw. I am a total fraud and you know it.

Some of these are pretty bad, but for some reason the bat symbol in the "RED HOOD" really annoys me, and I have no design or artistic background to explain why.

I wish I had the strength of character to not laugh at that, but I cannot help myself.
