The '''Flying =W=''' is an iconic Weezer logo.
The '''Flying =W=''' is an iconic Weezer logo. The famous Flying =W= was designed by [[Patrick Wilson]] during the making of [[Weezer's third demo]], when he and [[Karl Koch]] were 'drawing' by dispersing fuzz that had collected on the studio walls.  They found it amusing, and Karl reproduced the logo onto the back of [[Rivers Cuomo]]'s jacket using the engineer's labeling tape.  Supposedly, Rivers wore it around LA until the tape fell off.  It is a simultaneous homage and spoof of Van Halen's classic logo, which featured 'wings' protruding from the band's intitials VH.
