What Does the v in Vans Stand for?
Their first store was opened at 704 East Broadway in Anaheim, California. The company manufactured their own shoes and sold them directly to the public via this store. The full name of the business was The Van Doren Rubber Company but it soon became known as Vans.

What does the V in Vans logo mean?

The Vans logo has the lettering “Vans,” which looks weird thanks to the stretched out, horizontal line over the letters A, N, and S. This line begins from the top right of V, which makes the letter look like the mathematical root sign.

Is the Vans logo a square root?

#9: Vans. Here's a math problem that's unsolvable: the square root of ANS. That's unfortunately one way to see Vans' distinct logo, even though I'm sure they didn't have math or algebra on the brain.
