Logo Redevelopment
With the old logo having 42 years of equity and a connection with the audience, the new logo had to incorporate the equity., especially within the new Company image. A completely new logo would have been an immediate disconnect. The new logo incorporates the existing holding shape, typeface and now gives equal presence to the W and A, to create a new identity that incorporates the equity and avoids any disconnect.
