It's a little bit of a complicated history, but you're likely aware that the brand "A Superman DC Publication" appeared on all of those titles prior to the "AA" brand, and following that was "Superman DC National Comics" which lasted for decades.  All-American had broken away pretty briefly, having the biggest effect on All-Star Comics with the exits of non-AA characters like Spectre, Starman, and Sandman.

As well as how DC logos appeared on their comics as early as 1940 too.

Great documentary on YouTube about the Origin of DC Comics. 2 hours but a fun watch. I’ll try to find a link but I think it’s called the Secret Origin of DC Comics
