DVC Logo

[antnee]

Does anyone know the story behind the DVC logo?? I mean what do the 3 (now 2) mountains represent???

I don't know for sure, but I think it is the 3 mountains of MONEY Disney made on DVC, the missing mountain is Eisner's cut. LOL

I'm sure someone will know, and I hope they post the real answer.

I always thought the mountains, waves and palm trees represented different parts of the world that you could vacation at with DVC.

And technically it is a "mark" not a "logo" (sorry about that, but as a Graphic Design teacher it is a little pet peeve of mine, and I make my students put a quarter into a can everytime one of them calls a "mark" a "logo").

I agree that it is meant to represent the different vacations you can take with DVC. Waves for cruising and beach vacations, palm trees for Florida, Hawaii and other island trips and the mountains for those ski trips. The DVC "sun" shining over it all.

I always wondered where that third mountain went. I thought they used it to fill in the land before they built BWV.

Didn't the logo/mark also have a boat for a short time?

Two mountains are cheaper than three. They are reducing costs all around the company

Or

The third mountain represented the free park passes one got during the first ten years of DVC. No more passes -- no third mountain

Or

Someone else had registered the three mountain mark first and DVC had to change it

I never remember a boat being on the DVC mark! But the mountains where originally purple, then for a time they became red, now they our back to purple!

Now we know how you paid for your points!

When the mountains went red, it may have been embarrassment over Eisner's pay packages

I think it was changed to represent OKW and BWV. When it was 3 I don't think it really meant anything. This is just a wild guess by the way.
