Emblem

The site uses a round Option 2 badge: a hooded watcher, seen from behind, looking out at the Ambassador Bridge, with the official Windsor News W as a far-off lime and yellow light. The published mark is a transparent circle, with no cream or white background. It is an original Windsor News mark. It is not a police badge.

Tagline, set on 10 November 2026: Where there's crime, there's Windsor Watchers.
