Snapped this at the con. Been working on researching the Night Watch symbol for an upcoming project. I can really only find pictures of the stamped logo from the figures, which is pretty small to work off of.

Saw this shirt at the con, and asked the wearer if I could snap a picture:

I believe he told me it was from the 2007 con and was the Night Stalkers symbol, I just can't find any other pictures of it online.

I was able to pull the eye, nose, and teeth shapes from the shirt and match it with the skull shape I was able to get off the figures. I'm pretty happy with what I've got, right now I'm just looking for more sources of the originals to confirm the skull in the Cobra is the Night Watch symbol, and the one with the lightning bolt is the Night Stalkers.

Let me know if you've got any info/sources/references on these.

Best I could find is from General's Joes:

Which confirms that the lightning is the Night Stalkers from GIJCC Tanks for the Memories set.

Cool, nice to see it on Claymoore too, confirms it isn't specific to JUST the Night Stalkers themselves. Good info, thanks OB.

Anyone else, let me know if you know anything else about this symbol.

The new FSS Claymore has it as well.

I had that set, but I don't recall that they ever went into specifics on the insignia.

Thanks! Yeah, mostly now I'm curious if it ever showed up on a box or filecard or anything... doesn't seem to have.

Not that I know of.

It seems to be a mashup of the standard Cobra logo and the Night Viper sigil, which I think was on the original figure, but also appeared in the Hall of Fame pamphlets.

There's a couple versions of the Nightwatch logo in the file repository, though none have the lightning bolts.

Thanks guys.

I've notice the mouth is pretty different on this cobra logo, the fangs are smaller. Haven't noticed if it's that way on a lot of the con stuff or not.
