The logo for the Sixth International WWW Conference draws
on the graphic tradition established by previous conference logos,
starting with Robert Cailliau's now-classic theme of three Ws
emerging from a deep forest green to a brilliant proximate
white
(Geneva, May 1994),
and moving through Chicago's Mosaic motif
(October 1994),
Darmstadt's challenging treble treatment
(April 1995),
Boston's coastal curvature
(December 1995),
and most
recently, Paris's architectural expansion of the original design
(May 1996).
The design for the April 1997 conference in Santa Clara, California, retains traditional verdant tones in the Ws, but interprets them anew with a warm neo-Mediterrean cast reflecting the heritage of the Golden State. The dimensionality suggested by all of the previous conference logos is here given a California twist, rendered in a triangular shape which, when animated, makes the faces of all three Ws equally accessible. |
