WesBanco, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in Wheeling, West Virginia, tracing its roots to 1870 when it was chartered as The German Bank. The name changed to Wheeling Bank & Trust Company in 1918, and WesBanco was incorporated in 1968. In July 1991, all affiliate banks were unified under the WesBanco name, and in January 2000, four regional banks merged to form WesBanco Bank, Inc. [1]
Design and History
The current WesBanco logo is a green abstract symbol paired with the WesBanco wordmark. A vector file of the logo, identified as WesBancoLogo-2016.svg, is hosted on Wikimedia Commons, indicating the mark dates to 2016. [2] The logo has been used in official company communications, including press releases distributed through PR Newswire. [3]
In 2016, WesBanco completed its merger with Your Community Bankshares, Inc., and the former Your Community Bank branches were rebranded under the WesBanco Bank name beginning in early November of that year. [4] The 2016 date on the logo file aligns with this period of brand consolidation, though no official announcement detailing a specific logo redesign has been located.
The WesBanco name also appears on the WesBanco Arena in Wheeling, West Virginia. The arena entered a 10-year naming rights agreement with WesBanco Bank in 2003, which was renewed for another 10 years in 2013. [5]
Meaning and Symbolism
The logo’s visual elements are documented only through the vector file itself and its use in official communications. [2]
Typography and Design
The WesBanco wordmark appears in a sans-serif typeface alongside the abstract symbol. The logo file is a 512 x 192 pixel SVG, indicating a horizontal lockup with the symbol positioned beside the wordmark. [2]
