Supergirl costume question

Quick question hopefully someone can answer.

Does the current Kara have the red and yellow S logo on her cape? Did Linda Danvers have the logo on her cape? I've tried searching lots of images and there's very few showing the back of the cape, where the logo would be. One shows a yellow logo with thin red outlines for the current Kara, but i'm wondering if that's correct or a colouring error?

I'm making myself a Supergirl costume, a bastardized-mix-of-several-costumes version admittedly, but I'd kind of like some bits to be vaguely correct. I've ordered a transfer and am planning to make myself a short cape.

Hope these links help (and work). It looks like the cape shield is pretty much always there.

She did in the early Silver Age stories.

Also during the 'Hot pants' time period.

She had it during the 1980's and the 'headband' era.

She had it during the PAD years.

And it appears she does now.

I do hope you will post a finished product of your costume!

Thanks for the info. Funny how they all seem to be basically yellow with thin red lines.
I may or not put a picture up, I'm a bit iffy about posting photos of me on the net is all. :/

Hmmm .... how about just the costume? Hanging on a hanger?

That I am absolutely fine with.

I warn you, it's definitely not a straight copy of any one real costume though, it's my normal clothes thrown together in an attempt to make it a bit more real life (and cheaper) so may look rubbish (but probably won't. I hope.)
