Cool.

The VVI is a CCO.

well, at least he's not the HNIC, like Joe Clark was (wondering if anyone will get this reference...

)

I agree Heath. I thought the V in the compass was a great idea, too bad they couldn't continue that idea in some form. Now, what does the compass mean to Valiant?
I do think it's much better than the Acclaim logo.

There is a V in the new compass... imagine it standing up straight...
the place where the old V was is still a V.

Other than Dino, Walter, Chip, and Jason, who else is mentioned in the credits page as working at the company?

Was that intended? It looks a little obscured and I wonder if we're trying to find the V in it. The "new" V is not correctly positioned and it doesn't stand out like the old one. Also, the V shape is wider.

Does anyone know the story of why a compass is the emblem?

I imagine it goes back to the company really being Voyager Communications

That would be my guess as well.

Some people asked about the origin of the original logo

http://www.valiantcomics.com/valiant/joe/shoot2/

A question I've been thinking about. you left VALIANT, the Voyager company was later folded, then later they switched to their own logo which all leads up to this story. Will you have the Voyager logo on this story?

That's something I'll have to discuss with the guys at Acclaim, I haven't brought that up yet, that's not a bad idea... I always liked that- the compass rose with a "V" in it.

Where did you get the idea for that?
The three original partners of Voyager Communications/VALIANT got together,we were looking for a name for the company before we knew it was going to be Voyager. Winston Fowkles suggested "Compass Comics" and our logo would be a compass rose, so we did a trademark search on Compass Comics and there were zillions of "Compass" companies, so it was not available for trademark. So I suggested "Voyager" and "VALIANT"- I liked it, it just felt right to me- I loved the name VALIANT and thought it was a good name for a comic book company- there's a theory to that, I'll tell you in a minute, and we intended Voyager for the company, which was also something we could use that compass rose for- I just made the 2 points on the compass into a "V". The reason I came up with "VALIANT" and "Voyager" is because I remembered when I was in Marvel, one time Stan (Lee) told me as we were discussing DC Comics how dumb they were: for instance- "DC COMICS"... what is that? To the average American, they don't know what "DC" is, to them it's Washington, it's District of Columbia... so Stan said that the one time he was going to work for DC for one brief instant that the first thing he was going to do was change it to "Super Comics"- something that was cool, something that had power... and so he said "MARVEL"... it's this wonder... it's more than a word, it's something that has guts, and with me it shouldn't be "VALIANT" with "Comics", it should be just VALIANT.

So I liked that, I liked the sound of that and worked with the compass rose which led me to "Voyager" which also worked with a compass rose, so I thought "ok, that's good", so I went with that. So this came originally from Winston's suggestion that we call it Compass.

Torque

The New Logo is great (4 out of 5 Claps)

What I'd like to see when Valiant hopefully starts producing its regular comic series, is to possibly do something special with the 1st installment of each comic series, like a Raised Logo, either Raised Foil Logo, Or Raised Paper Logo. This could make the 1st installment extra special and stand out even more from others

Either way looks great.
Hope someone is reading this who can make that happen.

I like the logo as well.

I cannot wait for a 3-D pin of the logo to be produced.

Now that would be cool.
