Talk:Chevron (insignia)

message: I've never heard of 'bar' being used to describe chevrons in Australia. I assume this is the case in the UK and NZ as well. I believe this is not a common usage in Commonwealth countries. Ozdaren 15:44, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

message: "Boeing calls some of its afterburner jets "variable-geometry chevrons"."
That is wrong according to my information. A quick Google search will show that those VCGs are actually designed for commercial jetliners, of which no Boeing model has an afterburning turbofan. Unless someone objects, I will modify this -- unless I forget or can't be bothered. 129.194.8.73 (talk) 11:55, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Hi. I had the impression that the "chevron" symbol was something more like the the Pontiac symbol, which has four verticies, one reflex angle and four sides, similar to having one actute triangle cut out from the side of another acute angle, or two identical obtuse triangles connected along a line of identical length, serving as the line of symmetry between the two...there must be a name for that shape. Thanks. ~AH1 (discuss!) 21:55, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

message: "A chevron is an inverted V-shaped pattern".  Is there a name for a non-inverted v-shaped pattern, or would it just be an "inverted" or "downward-pointing chevron"? 86.152.136.183 (talk) 13:27, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

message: The article says chevrons became rank insignia “In Western European tradition”. But when? A reference for the evolution of the chevron in militaries would be useful. Humphrey Tribble (talk) 04:29, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

message: From this article: "When shown as a smaller size than standard, it is a diminutive called a chevronel."
Good, this makes perfect sense except one thing: standard size. If we say "smaller size than standard", our definition is worthless until "the standard size for a chevron" is known to equal some number, or some proportion of what it's on, or whatever is the way it's done.
