Title: Viewfinder History Question (Answered)
Post by: Chris Cory - President 2012-14 -Life Memeber on February 03, 2010, 05:11:37 pm

So the question is, in 1968, did the Viewfinder reel logo have triangle or circle shapes in it?
As most of you know, our current reels have both depending on the image.

I know the answer, do you?

It was a trick question, the answer is BOTH! Some people think of the shield as the original Viewfinder emblem, but footage of the 1968 Grand Prix only shows the Reel. The reel as shown on our current apparel is not something new, it was the prominent logo even back then. This reel has always had round (circle) holes in it.

The Shield also has a reel in it! The reel within the shield has the triangle shapes!  ;D

So, both circle and triangle shapes are original to the Viewfinders logos.
