ÖVGW

For more than 140 years, ÖVGW has made sure everything flows reliably: water, gas, and the knowledge around them. Our task was to bring brand and website into a new flow.

Since 1881, ÖVGW has enabled Austria’s gas and water supply through education, research, and technical standards. Visually inspired by the plaques and stamps typical of the industry, we translated this story of reliability into a modern identity.

White space, sharp lines, and a new, confident typography carry the clarity of the logo consistently throughout the entire brand design. The boldly applied main colours of the revised palette clearly distinguish the Gas and Water divisions, while the imagery adds emotion and brings more warmth to technical precision.

The completely redesigned website makes the many facets of ÖVGW easily accessible. From numerous contents, specialist areas, and entry points, we created a clearly guided digital system that leads different target groups quickly to where they need to go. As a result, the website becomes not only an image platform, but also a functional working and service platform. And everything keeps flowing.
