MemberTrilobiteDecember 08, 2011A couple of times in my posts I have referred to the fact that Prometheus only features the Yutani Corporation, not Weyland nor Weyland-Yutani. Yet surprisingly no-one has commented on this despite the fact that many members of these forums cite either Weryland Industries or Weyland-Yutani Corporation within the upcoming Prometheus.
I know a few of you are probably getting ready to cite references or quotes at me to prove that I am wrong. So I will prove my point with pictures.
This is a close-up cropped image of the logo seen on the airlock picture released a while back, it is the same logo seen on the RT-01 vehicle and on Idris Elba's t-shirt.

Whereas this is the Weyalnd-Yutani logo first seen in Aliens, and has been featured in Alien 3, as well as countless comics and video games.

Unfortunately I was unable to find a decent image of the Weyland Industries logo seen in AVP, but to remind you all, it was just the W from the Weyland-Yutani logo above.
Now looking at the image from Prometheus it is clear to see that the three triangular shapes that make up the centre are similar if not identical to those making up the Y in the Weyland-Yutani logo. However, the W is missing. Instead we have three stripes either side of the Y, in a visage of wings. This is merely for decoration only, without these wings the three triangular shapes making up the Y would look very bland as a corporate logo.
Proof beyond doubt that Prometheus only features the Yutani Corporation, thus the merger with Weyland Industries has not yet occurred within the time in which Prometheus is set.
