African pioneer in water and wastewater management Talbot & Talbot is “especially proud of reaching its 30 year landmark in 2019” and, in acknowledgment of its legacy, the company has chosen to commemorate by rebranding Talbot & Talbot as simply Talbot.
“This evolved corporate identity represents an important and necessary step in the company’s long-term growth vision,” Talbot said in a statement on Tuesday.
The company noted that it had made “strong progress” towards its vision of becoming the leading provider of sustainable water and wastewater solutions across the African continent and the globe.
“To date, we have successfully delivered projects across a range of sectors and in over 25 countries around the globe. While remaining true to its Pietermaritzburg origins, Talbot can today [count] blue-chip companies among its extensive regional and international client base,” the company said.
“As we set our sights on an exciting new horizon, our new logo should help to tell the story of our passion for one of the four vital, classical elements,” Talbot said of its new logo.
It explained that the downward-pointing triangle is the western alchemical symbol for water, which has been unchanged for more than six centuries.
“It is permanent, relevant, simple and descriptive; an ideal icon to demonstrate us living out our bigger principle and purpose of using science and engineering solutions to improve the quality and availability of our shared water resources and the environment in general.”
