Advertisement tone addressed

I believe I have taken out the advertisement tone of the article, but I have replaced the corresponding template with a Copy edit template, as the article still needs considerable work. The Primary sources template is also no longer necessary, as diversity has been established; however, more a citation review needs to be undertaken. An outstanding issue is the patchiness of the History section—there are significant gaps that need to be filled.--Soulparadox (talk) 20:15, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, the lede and the Volcommunity section still has a tone like a company press release. I'm also not sure that including the nicknames of the founders helps make them any more identifiable but does help to degrade the neutrality.

Thoughts? --Jamesfett (talk) 11:01, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

the stone

The volcom stone symbol is incorrect it is inverted from its correct state

Fixed it -- Mrs Sheckler 17:33, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

How is the name pronounced? I've heard two different versions:

Vole-com (like .com)
Volecum

It is pronounced Vole-com. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.109.188.9 (talk) 23:50, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone have any sourced confirmation of either of these (or a third)?

- Vole-com. I work for them. Thats how the boss pronounces it. Ha.

Thank god, I was afraid it was the second. Somebody tried to tell me they were absolutely certain I was wrong about it being called Vole-com. Ridiculous. —Peco! Peco!^TALK 00:55, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spamming team names

It seems to be all the rage on any page with sponsored lists.

origin of the name

Hi ! Does anyone know how the name "Volcom" came about ? As long as I've been a fan, i've always wondered. If anyone knows the answer, they should also include it in the article ! Thanks !

And also, perhaps we should include the right pronunciation in the article ? It has always been a debated topic among fans.--Marc-Olivier Pagé (talk) 04:25, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Transparency?

Would it be appropriate to replace the white background around the logo with a transparent one? New to wiki 75.69.73.202 (talk) 19:08, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sightings

Would it be appropriate to mention that Jack Black wore a Valcom Stone t-shirt when he appeared on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on May 23, 2011? Sheherazahde (talk) 07:46, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, that information is trivia and has no significant impact on the company. Thanks, 72Dino (talk) 13:19, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
