Inside a Logo


My class took a field trip today to downtown Toledo to tour the world headquarters of Owens Corning and learn about their green initiatives.  Their building is very distinctive and sits on the Maumee River.  As you drive into downtown towards the river, you can see their very distinctive logo rising like the sail of a boat - a giant red, curved, swoosh with portholes all over it.  As the overall design of the building resembles a ship, most people assume the red thing is a sail.  My daughter and I have always thought it looked more like a slice of watermelon.  Today I learned the truth.  It's a representation of their logo, which can be seen HERE.

This is a shot from INSIDE the building, shooting straight up into the logo.  I still think it bears a closer resemblance to a slice of watermelon than the O-C logo.
