As far as the CWL name & logo agonizing goes, the same rule applies as with riot control.

So I have 2 x CWs. One has the name at 9, the other has the name at 12 and it matters nought to me.
Where they have currently arrived with the Swish at 12 and the brand's name on the back seems like a good place to me and for what it's worth I say leave it just like that.
The actual name of the brand is just fine, the world is full of brands with the founder's name (OK a bit more complicated here) and in 17 years or so they've made a pretty good fist of developing what they do. Not sure I'd be keen on the idea of "something else" (formerly Christopher Ward).

Where does this logo fit in? It’s in several places on their website.

Not entirely sure – I have seen it a few times now. It seems to be a cuboid representation of the twin flags but I don’t know where it is destined to be used.

Anyway…

I think it’s supposed to represent a Christmas present. I’ve seen it with the strap line “No present like the time” - Which I quite like!

I used to watch Swiss Cross Quiz.

Wasn’t the yes/no game on Take Your Pick with Michael Miles?

What they did on Bel Canto is perfect. I don't want it on the dial, and it's what has stopped me buying the moonphase watch.

The name is fine now for me personally, but I suspect the wider market will respond better to "C Ward" than the full name. That might be a change to consider for the final step.

Of course you're right. Unconscious incompetence on my behalf. Criss Cross Quiz came to mind for the graphic, and I confused the two game shows. :oops:

I'd love to see a new iteration of this style, showing just CW London.
