Wilo is a German company, specializes in the manufacturing of water pumps for both residential and commercial building segments. The company was established in 1872 and today has its subsidiaries in almost 60 countries across the globe where 8 thousand of the company’s employees work.
The company’s visual identity is progressive and minimalist. Based on the brand’s name, it looks bright, complete and intense, showing the logo can be cool without any additional graphics and decorations.
The bright turquoise inscription, placed on a white background evokes a sense of tranquility and balance, creating a friendly and positive mood, but at the same time, it reflects a reliable and professional company, which values quality and wants their customers to be happy with the brand’s products. Turquoise is also a water-related color that represents the company’s purpose and industry segment.
The earlier version of the label’s logo was also text-based and used the same turquoise color as a main, but featured a completely different style — sharp, strict and serious.
The current wordmark in all the lowercase lettering is a custom logotype, designed exclusively for the company. It features a smooth line that looks futuristic and progressive. Letters “W” and “I” are connected to each other, symbolizing the water flow.
The letter “W” of the nameplate is strong and boats classic straight lines while all the other letters are soft and their angles are rounded.
The previous version of the logo featured a wordmark in all capitals, executed in a font similar to Gordita Ultra with the letter “I” italicized in parallel with the “W”s right bar. This trick created a sense of dynamics and progressive movement, showing the company as innovative and confident.
