4. Letter From The CEO
Dear colleagues, fellow shareholders, customers and other readers,
It is great when a plan comes together, and that’s exactly what happened for The
Wave in 2007. This logo development application presentation is the culmination
of The Wave’s first year since we announced our Focus on logo development.
We believe you will agree, after reading this manual, that 2006 was indeed a
successful year for The Wave. Not just because of our strong operational
results, the successful ways some of the hard choices of 2006 were executed,
or the imaginative new ways our people found to improve our business, but
because all these things happened AND we laid the basis for continued success.
In other words strategy in action: delivering results and at the same time building
new platforms for growth.
All this made 2006 a successful year for The Wave. We have many people to
thank for their contributions to this success: our customers, our employees, our
subcontractors and other business partners, our shareholders, our Supervisory
Board members and every other stakeholder who has taken time to help make
our company a better one.
With the group in good shape we look forward to the opportunities and
challenges of 2007 with enthusiasm. We consider it our business to deliver yours
Robin Paddock
CEO
6. Beginnings of Development - Simple Sketches
Development of the logo began with simple sketches.
The use of the an actual wave being included in the
design was of essence. The wave is the surfing icon
that can not be surpassed. Symbolizing the ocean, and
the goal of the surfer.. to ride the ultimate wave.
Progressing through the thumbnails, a simple representation
of the wave became more important. Simple style and the
need for a classic representation became more evident.
Simply trying out different styles of waves and their
curls, it was important not to make the wave too
intimidating, but yet comfortable, and smooth.
7. Development Continues
Going through the process of trying out different possibili-
ties, the inclusion of the “w” in wave, felt like a necessary
step in creating a strong mark for the company.
Continuing through the development process, the
curls of the wave were simply included into the
8. Simple yet a strong mark, the approach on the final mark was
found. Clean, crisp and strong,
Modifications were experimented with, and found to make the
mark much to cluttered, and decisions were made to keep it
simple; a winning combination with logos.
