The Partners – Michael Wedell
Create connections / Verbindungen schaffen

“Getting people talking to each other who otherwise don't talk to each other”. The Partners acts as a link and is in exchange with each other – listening – passing on. The development of the new figurative mark is based on this idea. The initials M and W flow into each other and form a bond for cooperation and new ways.

„Leute miteinander ins Gespräch bringen, die sonst nicht miteinander reden“. The Partners agiert als Bindeglied und ist im Austausch miteinander – Zuhören – Weitergeben. Die Entwicklung der neuen Bildmarke basiert auf dieser Idee. 
Die Initialen M und W fließen ineinander und bilden ein Band für Zusammenarbeit und neue Wege.
