Mr. Valve

Mr. Valve, also known as "the Valve Guy", is this original mascot used by Valve for their introductory logo. He originally appeared as a model in a demonstration map created by Valve to showcase the GoldSrc engine abilities, which was to be used as the introductory logo. The demo was eventually replaced with a static portrait of Mr. Valve. The map is simply named "valve.bsp", the model "mrvalve".
