MWI Logo Overview

MWI’s logo represents who we are as a firm and what we do for our clients. Here’s an overview of what our logo conveys:

• The four shades of blue represent MWI’s four core offerings – outsourced ombuds, mediation, negotiation consulting, and training
• The four shades also represent the standards of ombuds practice – confidentiality, independence, impartiality, and informality
• MWI provides services and training to both individuals and organizations. MWI’s logo spotlights the individual client (round head and blue shoulders facing forward) and three others seated at a round table where ideas are created and shared
  
• Each person at the table wears a different shade of blue and represents the organizations that MWI serves who realize common interests, flashes of brilliance, and “ah-ha” moments
  
• Our logo also represents a compass or a lighthouse that is designed to represent guidance and stability for our clients.

We received the following from an insightful colleague:

• We see a sharp eye that can assess the types of conflicts and disputes from four different perspectives. It also can be perceived as looking through a microscope that enables it to dissect and separate the multiple issues in a conflict
  
• We see a table of four negotiating groups (the black dot is the table) that MWI can be involved in multilateral negotiations
  
• We see a magnet in the middle, keeping equidistant among four metals. The magnet is MWI having equal distances from and in relation to people in conflict
  
• We see from a bird’s eye view a wise person’s head (black dot) joining his hands (two of the blue chunks) on a table level, with the two other blue pieces being shoulders
  
• We see a wheel of fortune with which you can roll your options and wherever it strikes, it will be any of the four-win solutions of MWI!
