Pyramid Deliveries logo
Pyramid Deliveries was a freighting company based in the United States. It was a subsidiary of Veidt Enterprises and was used by its CEO (former costumed adventurer Adrien Veidt) as a cover for activities and funding related to the 11/2 Psychic Shockwave conspiracy.
History[]
Pyramid Deliveries funded both Dimensional Developments and Nova Express magazine.[1]
Pyramid Deliveries trucks could be seen driving around Manhattan. One even drove by Edward Blake's apartment.[2] A freighter occasionally stops near the Institute for Extraspatial Studies to refuel, annoying Bernie who sits there blocking access to the power hydrant, and the driver talks with Bernard.[1][3]
Pyramid Deliveries truck refuels outside of Bernard's newsstand.
Unidentified persons hired freight handlers for illegal things but they ended up dead in alleged accidents. A freight driver (the one seen with Bernard) was given by his boss, the freight co-ordinator, two anonymous envelopes, one with money, one with orders, to deliver to a reliable hit contract. The boss then fell under a subway train
.[4] Roy Victor Chess was given those envelopes, and made the assassination attempt against Adrian Veidt.[3]
PD was also behind the creation of fake alien squid, as a Pyramid Deliveries ship carried the designers of the alien from the island they worked on and exploded, killing everyone onboard, including Max Shea and Hira Manish.[4]
Nite Owl II and Rorschach discover that Pyramid Deliveries was headed by Veidt, and that he was behind Dimensional Development, the plot against Dr. Manhattan, all the deaths, even his own assassination attempt.[4]
The company was named presumably as an homage to the Egyptian pyramids, betraying a connection with Veidt Enterprises, and their logo was a simple purple triangle enclosed by a circle.
Synder Timeline[]
In the 2009 film adaptation directed by Zach Snyder, the company is renamed as "Pyramid Transnational". A truck with its logo is seen a couple of times passing in the streets. Its slogan is "A New World Delivered". On a couple of envelope props, its address is shown as: Long island City NY 11101, 70 45th Avenue.
