currently wondering why jelco wears a different variation of the standard company insignia than everyone else.

under the cut because the images made the post long.

as this season two analysis points out, the company uses the same logo throughout season one. it appears the same on all officer, personnel and guard uniforms. it is a four pointed star inside of a diamond shape.

(reconstruction from the analysis linked above.)

this version of the logo appears as normal on some uniforms we see in season two. i took pictures of hills' uniform, which looks the same as in season one (left), and the uniform johnny wears in heart shaped box to break into spring hill (right).

based on the differences between the uniform johnny is wearing and hills' uniform, i don't think johnny's is an officer uniform, just one worn by regular company personnel. it lacks the lapel pins that hills and jelco have on theirs which, according to the analysis, is probably an indication of rank. hills wears two and jelco wears three, suggesting jelco ranks above hills.

jelco's variation of the company's symbol retains the same basic shape, but is altered to look more like a stylized bird with the edges of the bottom two points folded in.

(reconstruction from the analysis linked above.)

now you might be thinking, this could be a purely aesthetic change. but some (not all) of jelco's guards wear this same version of the symbol, and it also appears in other places like the monitor in his office. places where you'd think they would use the standard version, since it's more common and appears to represent the company in general.

(images in order l/r: two of jelco's guards with the symbol variant on their uniforms in heart shaped box; the variant seen on the monitor in jelco's office / the wall controls in full metal monk and johnny be good; the clearest / closest up shot i could get of jelco's uniform sleeve, which is also from full metal monk.)

a company guard in season five's run, yala, run also wears the same variant, seen here. it's hard to see, but it has the same darker / folded in corners.

by this point the company hasn't really been relevant to events, so this can just be excused as the designers re-using the same costumes and not bothering to get versions that use the standard logo. but the fact that it appeared first alongside the standard one makes me wonder if it was supposed to mean something specific at first and it was just never elaborated on. symbols in this show tend to have meaning if they appear repeatedly.

or that's just me giving them too much credit. wouldn't be the first time lol.

Killjoys premiered its penultimate season opener on Syfy and Space with “The Warrior Princess Bride” (4×01).   

The episode definitely picks up in a way from where we last saw our heroes, but in this episode, the focus is definitely on Dutch/Yalena Yardeen (Hannah John-Kamen).  If you’ve been a fan of the show since the first episode aired or if you’ve just found it via binge-watching, then…
