The Water Footprint logo
The Water Footprint logo has been designed in 2008 by
Angela Morelli, information designer, at the
occasion of the launch of the Water Footprint Network. The design of the footprint is based on the properties of water:
fluidity, softness, and viscosity. Morelli: “A dripping foot that is loosing an essential part of its structure, a part
that is fundamental for human balance.” The creative process underlying the logo is told in a special document made about
the design process
The logo of the Water Footprint Network was also designed by Morelli. The drop of water shown
in the water footprint logo comes back in the logo of the Water Footprint Network, to emphasize that it is water
that connects us all.
