I know it is called the "red and blue arrowhead" but don't know the reason it was designed that way...
I’m taking a guess here so don’t freak out.
Sometimes logos are inspired by other things like the created was a comic book fan from the 30’s.
Prince Valiant. Again just a guess but colors match and so kinda does the “V”- kinda.

Not a bad theory. Better than anything I had?
I'm goin the simple route. It's a fancy "V" for Valiant.

Just a simple V. The car was originally going to be called Falcon, but Ford requested the name.

I'm glad, because Plymouth Falcon just doesn't sound right.

May have something to do with this -Quote "the Valiant boasted a radical design that continued Exner's "Forward Look" styling with "sleek, crisp lines which flow forward in a dart or wedge shape". Unquote
Best line of the article:
“This was a totally unworkable combination since the Lancia wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding until it got to about 8000 RPM.”

Also remember that Valiant originally was supposed to be a stand-alone brand of Chrysler and not part of Plymouth.
