Weezer's famous '''Flying =W=''' logo 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. | Weezer's famous '''Flying =W=''' logo 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.

The logo was 'officially' employed immediately, and Pat applied it to his drumhead, alongside [[Bokkus]]. It appears on a wide array of merchandise, including CDs, T-shirts, and more. An offshoot of this logo was created in conjunction with the band's appearances under the moniker [[Goat Punishment]]. The wings were attached to the G and P to form =GP=, and featured on a limited run of Goat Punishment T-shirts. | ==Usage== | ||
