Rudy Ratzinger (AKA Wumpscut) has been using it for decades. There's an interview from 5 or 6 years back where he talks about it: http://vampirefreaks.com/content/commen ... w+by+Talek I figure if Fox were going to go after him they would have back in the 90's. |

Interesting thanks! Yeah I did notice that they were not quite the same... but too close not to say anything wumpscut doesn't really have a Y like he said: > It just came to my attention that the logo for :wumpscut: bears a striking resemblance to the Weyland-Yutani logo from the Alien lore. Weyland-Yutani: the corporation that is willing to sacrifice human life in the name of technology to obtain a specimen for its Bio-Weapons Division. Rudy: Yes? > Is the logo resemblance pure irony? Rudy: Never made up my mind about that. If you watch in detail, you will find that in Alien, there are no triangles behind but a Y - 'pure coincidence'. > Did :wumpscut: ever share any commonalities with this fictional corporation? Rudy: Nooo. |

What he doesn't fess up to (or doesn't know) is that the WY logo is stenciled in Alien3 in a much more simplified form on the backs of shirts and cargo containers etc. and *that* logo is identical to what he uses. |

I was totally gonna steal a Wumpscut flag off someone's tent at Ozzfest a few years back. Decided not to. |

Besides the flags are include in some :W: CD Boxsets. It could be in “Women and Satan First” not sure ad hoc. I might pick up one on the next festival. One of the design:
