Story of our logo
James Pratt and Gwendolyn started this business with the intention of creating innovative products that would help to connect people and technology. Originally, the logo for Winston International was composed of 5 P’s in the shape of a W, which was an easy illustration for Pratt and Gwen’s namesake. Now, the logo has evolved into the representation of the core values that the company has ALWAYS portrayed: people, purpose, product, passion, and play.
