[quote][i]Originally posted by A1EX[/i] from what i can gather from things i have read etc, it was Cameron who changed it, either by accident or by trying to make Aliens his own, as he also changed the alien from Gigers design to make it his own, in doing this he pissed off Giger, here is a letter from Cameron to Gigers rep [img]http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/ad68/weylan_yutani/letter/cameron1.jpg[/img] also another prop in the movie showing the Weylan Yutani logo etc [img]http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/ad68/weylan_yutani/letter/original.jpg[/img] and from the actual person who created the logos and names The name "Weylan-Yutani" was created by Ron Cobb, one of the designers of the Nostromo and it's crew's uniforms. ".......One of the things I enjoyed most about Alien was its subtle satirical content. Science fiction films offer golden opportunities to throw in little scraps of information that suggest enormous changes in the world. There's a certain potency in those kinds of remarks. Weylan Yutani for instance is almost a joke, but not quite. I wanted to imply that poor old England is back on its feet and has united with the Japanese, who have taken over the building of spaceships the same way they have now with cars and supertankers. In coming up with a strange company name I thought of British Leyland and Toyota, but we couldn't use "Leyland-Toyota" in the film. Changing one letter gave me "Weylan," and "Yutani" was a Japanese neighbor of mine." —Ron Cobb, "The Authorized Portfolio of Crew Insignias from The United States Commercial Spaceship Nostromo Designs and Realizations" by John Mollo and Ron Cobb The original spelling of the Company's name was Weylan Yutani (note that there was no D in the name). At no time in Alien nor in the portfolio was the name of the Company spelled with a D. This was changed to "Weyland-Yutani" in Aliens............." [/quote]
