This model was originally called the Flying V Reissue in 1989. In 1990, Gibson renamed it the Flying V '67 based on the year it was reissued as. In summer 2002, they changed the name to the V Factor X, and in 2005, they dropped the X to make it the V Factor (although everybody still calls it a Flying V).
