Actually this reply was meant apart from the DVD+R logo question, but now I
just checked it and... indeed: on the DL discs there also seems to be a RW
logo.

You missed the point. ALL + discs have the RW logo. That is, assuming
they're legitimate + discs, paying the royalties and all that. It has
nothing at all to do with read/write. It's a logo, not a description.

And the fact that this logo has nothing to do with read/write is what I find
confusing. That was my point, which you seemed to have missed.

But what DOES the 'RW' logo mean?

Search me! After all I'm the confused guy. It doesn't seem to mean
'rewriteable', nor 'read/write'! :-)

Unfortunately, they came up with DVD+RW first - and adopted the logo then -
before DVD+R was even thought of.

Hence the confusion now.

2 groups of manufacturers designed their version of recordable DVD.
Just like the 2 groups that created Betamax and VHS.
Find out who comprises the 2 groups and most likely you will find an
explanation for the RW.
But as mentioned above somewhere: Most likely it does Not stand
for rewritable.

I got scammed the same way when I bought some Memorex DVD+R blanks. It clearly
displays an "RW" logo on the front and back labels. When I went to erase one,
the program stated it couldn't be erased.

I have never bought a blank CD that was labeled "RW" that wasn't erasable and
re-writable. The same labeling standard should apply to DVD's, but clearly
doesn't. It seems to me to be a devious way to get people to pay more,
(re-writables have always cost a bit more) for what they are led to believe are
re-writable DVD's. I would never have bought those DVD's at that price had I
known they weren't re-writable.

I have purchased other DVD's that were the usual "write once" type, and not one
of their packages have the "RW" logo anywhere about them.

I just bought (and happily wrote) a DVD+R with the suspect Logo.

The Logo is Not "RW" but a special symbol that resembles those letters:

'hybrid digital' (compatible AM in the centre plus digital at the higher
sideband frequencies), I was recently corrected for saying that 'HD'
means 'hybrid digital'. Apparently, it doesn't. It's just the name of
the company who developed it!
