Ikon

Sister video label of Factory. Founded in June 1980 as a video arm for the label with the intention of filming the label's bands for potential broadcast, and from November 1981, for releasing and distributing videos (e.g. Doublevision). Lead by Malcolm Whitehead alone at first, he was later joined by Brian Nicholson (2) (1982), Linda Dutton and Tim Chambers. Ikon became independent in 1989 but went down along with Factory in 1992.
