National R.V. Holdings, Inc. Introduces New Corporate LogoPERRIS, Calif., June 22 -- National R.V. Holdings, Inc. , a leading manufacturer of Class "A" recreational vehicles and fifth-wheel travel trailers, introduces today a new corporate logo that helps to capture and communicate the Company's identity. Formed in late 1996 through the combination of National R.V. (located in Perris) and Country Coach (located in Junction City, OR.), the present day Company designs, markets and produces motorhomes that enable and encourage individuals to participate in a leisure time lifestyle. In commenting on the rationale behind developing the new logo, Wayne Mertes, the President and Chief Executive Officer of National R.V. Holdings, Inc., stated, "Corporate communication takes many forms. Naturally, the principal means people use to evaluate us is through their exposure to our product itself. However, we believed it was essential to develop a fresh and dynamic trademark to help us further convey the perception of our corporate values." Also, according to Mike Taylor, Corporate Design Manager, "We wanted to create an identity system and corporate mark that tells our constituents that we are a vigorous, profitable and modern enterprise. With this idea in mind, we created specially designed italicized letter forms that symbolize both strength and solidity. Additionally, the inclusion of the stylized star provides subtle secondary imagery of the name 'National.' It's who we are." In order to ensure that the Company's corporate image is carefully and consistently expressed, standards are being developed to apply the logo to all products in addition to all internal and external communications.
