Great mark, but when I saw AWW, I immediately thought of %22aww%22 like that's so cute. I'd probably spell out AWW for that reason.
Replythe first version had the word spelled out (antwerp water works) but client decided to use the aww instead, since most people use the abbreviation to adress the company (%22ah way way%22 in dutch). Also in dutch, the connotation of aww.. as in %22how cute%22 is not obvious at all, only in english.*The use of the letter %22A%22 is a recurrent theme in the communication of the city Antwerp, so this fits into it nicelt.*They have now started to use the mark without the word, since everyone immediately recognizes it, which i think is nice :)
ReplyI would much rather see the blue on white version here. The depth you achieved in the waves is very very nice. But in the reverse version they are missing. Can you upload the other version of this for others to see?
Replythanks. I'll go and dig for the original version. In the mean time, you can wiki %22antwerp water works%22 for the blue on white version. I also did the stationary for them, which i will feature when i (finally) update my folio site.
ReplyYes I saw the reverse option on your website. Love your work.
Replyawwesome
ReplyThis is awwright.
ReplyThis I remember from Tres Logos. At first I couldnt relate your name to it ...but It all made sense in the end? Really such a good thing to be able to stand out from that book%3B) A very good logo in other words
ReplyKudos!
ReplyFantastic mark - it says it all!

Replyohhohhh, i got one. This Rawwks!
ReplySweet. What sont is that?
ReplyFont, not sont ...
Replygrubedoo, the font is FF Cocon
ReplyAww! I vote for making the A-W kerning a bit wider :)
ReplyAl, to be honest, i'm a bit surprised that no one has mentioned this before. In retrospect, i have to agree with you, i could use some more spacing. *Too late now though, the logo has been used for a few years now and appears on about 40 vans and cars in and around Antwerp. And on everyone's water bill...
Replyi saw this logo in 'tres logos' nice:)
Replygreat work. question for u: the water droplets you made..*did u use the pen tool or did u create a general shape and then warp it to form the droplet shapes?
Reply@ noho: hand drawn from scratch with pen tool..
ReplyI like it alot
ReplyOne of best logos on the site, in my opinion. Respect. Had an idea for an HVAC companies logo, then remembered I probably saw something similar on logopond once. Had to come back and check. Now I cannot realize the idea anymore, too similar :-) Oh well, gotta go with the other options.**Anyway, congratulations on a great logo
Replythanks ojt, that's a really nice compliment :)
