It’s been a couple of decades since Wonder Woman’s costume was upgraded from an eagle across the bodice to a stylized Wonder Woman ‘W’ symbol (or, in some cases, a double W.) Even so, the prevalence of Lynda Carter’s portrayal of the character in the 1970s has locked in the eagle as the centerpiece of Diana’s battle garb. Given the number of different interpretations of Wonder Woman throughout the years, the ‘Eagle or W’ question tends to go back and forth a bit, leading to today’s super-symbolic query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) isn’t arguing the symbolism or the importance of marketing in the stylized W being copyrightable, just which you like better, asking: Eagle or W?

Usually, I go for the original. But the eagle is just so… Roman empire.
I can go either way.
W, this time.
