Honestly, not that many modern heroes even have capes these days. Most capes are remnants from the Golden Age and early Silver Age. Nowadays, the most prominent cape wearers are:
>Superman and his kin >Batman and his family >Shazam and his family >Doctor Strange (magician) >Asgardians
Capes are increasingly becoming a rare commodity, to the point where it's rather silly whenever a character in a modern setting refers to superheroes as "capes".
The only cape I like is Power Girl's single shoulder thing. There are other capes I don't mind, but that's the only one I think improves a character's look.
it makes sense because his blanket would have a family crest
That's dumb. If the the cape is some super special one of a kind item then it can never be allowed to be damaged for dramatic effect.
Just let it be some piece of cloth sown by Ma like it was in the 90s. With the logo on it, to answer OP's question.
It depends. I don't mind a totally red cape yet the Yellow Logo can give it some flair. However, it's way easier for an artist to frick-up and have funky, distracting giant logo emblazoned across the majority of Superman's back with the Logo than just a pure red cape.
Different continuities have said different things.
Even though it doesn't work with a strict canon, I like to think his cape was originally his old blanket early in his career, but was eventually damaged in one of Superman's first big confrontations, but having now established connections with scientists and other aliens, was able to synthesize a new cape of similar material with similar properties. But I'm also not the type of person that thinks a Superhero only has one costume on standby, which can explain some of the inconsistency in appearance and design.
It looks cool.
Capes are cringe.

Capes are kino
but capes that are alive or made of pure energy/nanomachines so they can't be snagged and are able to transform on the fly? based.
It's his baby blanket, and it bears his house crest.

I don't see the correlation.
Logo on cape but it's not yellow, just subtly stitched into the fabric
Wicked cool.

Cool, and I'll do you one better. The knee length cape is top tier kino
It's a hat on a hat.
A "hat on a hat" would be like wearing two capes on top of each other.
A cape with a logo would be more like a hat with a feather, m'lady.
Always cool. But only when it's all-yellow/golden.
I hate that we constantly get cheated out of having the S-shield on the cape in live action because it makes VFX artists piss themselves.
New52 one looked okay with the black logo but solid yellow looks like shit
what the frick should he wear, a name tag?
It's weird but I don't focus on it. Same with the best. Love a symbol but 3x placement is odd branding
Kino
How come batman never put a bat on his cape
It's redundant. His entire back profile is a bat symbol.
For me it's cool
I used to hate it but it grew on me. It also makes the Doomsday capeflag imagery work.
