Looks like the logo for a cheap news TV station. Which is a good thing.


I thought Welt Mannschaft was Germany for herpes.
actually WM stands for Welt Meisterschaft = World Competition/Cup
my mistake!
WM in the german logo stands for Welt Meisterschaft. Mannschaft means team
actually its Weltmeisterschaft. We Germans like long words. Like Elfmeterschießen (penalty shootout) or Abseitsfalle (offside trap)
