Ondulex-Doublex is a French company based in La Garenne-Colombes that produces and sells piston rings (segments) for internal combustion engines, hydraulic cylinders, compressors and steam machines. The company has operated for more than 70 years and stocks over 8,000 references in diameters from 20 mm to 150 mm.[1] The firm is also known under the name Rectification 2000, which functions as its segments department.[2]
Design and History
Documentation on the Ondulex-Doublex visual identity is extremely scarce. [3]
An unverified claim associates the Ondulex-Doublex logo with French comic artist and illustrator Philippe Caza (Philippe Cazaumayou) and dates it to 1965. Caza did work as an independent advertising graphic designer in Paris during the 1960s, before turning to science-fiction comics and illustration in 1968.[4] However, no primary or secondary source found in this research confirms that Caza designed a logo for Ondulex-Doublex, nor does any source document the mark’s appearance, colors or symbolism. The 1965 date and the designer attribution therefore remain unverified.
Meaning and Symbolism
No documented meaning or symbolism for the Ondulex-Doublex logo has been located. The company name itself combines “Ondulex,” likely referencing the French word “ondule” (wavy or corrugated), with “Doublex,” but no official source explains the intended significance of either term in the brand name.
Given the absence of verifiable evidence about the logo’s design, creator or history, this entry serves primarily to identify the company and note the current state of knowledge about its visual identity. Researchers with access to French trademark registries or company archives may be able to confirm or correct the attribution to Philippe Caza.
