GWCE - A New Look

A note on our logo and its evolution

The ‘Golden Spiral’ or ‘Fibonacci Spiral’ used in the GWCE logo is a spiral
constructed from rectangles whose sides’ lengths are in a ratio known as the
‘Golden Ratio’, also known as the ‘Divine Proportion’. This ratio is commonly
used in art, architecture and engineering to give pleasing (and stable)
proportions for anything from a picture frame to a colonnade. The Golden Spiral
also appears in nature in the shell of the nautilus shellfish and the whorls of
ferns, some of the most ancient animals and plants on the planet.

The image of the spiral also evokes water flowing in a pipe and the Greek letter Ø (phi) which is used in Civil Engineering to represent the diameter of such a pipe is also the letter used to represent the aforementioned Golden Ratio.

The original logo, shown below the current one, was designed on a napkin in the “Cantina” Mexican fast food outlet in the Topaz service station on Citywest Avenue and drawn by a Civil Engineer in AutoCAD.  The new one is a more modern and contemporary look, but maintaining the core design element. 

Topaz is now Circle K with a new logo and a new look.

The “Cantina” is now a “Wow Burger”

And the GWCE Logo has now been designed by a designer.
