How come that a logo "RW" is visible on all DVD+R discs? So I'm NOT talking
about rewriteables. Is there a need of more confusion?

read...

DVD-RW == Read/Write
DVD-R == Read only

Both are recordable at least once, if you're lucky.

Kind'a missing the point, the question was more to
why is there a "RW" Logo on DVD+R disks and
their packaging.

Personally I think it is basically a Marketing and
historical issue. The Logo was meant to convey that
the disks were compatible with DVD RW Drives.
That they recognized the specifications spelled out by
the industry group that licensed the use of the Logo,
and the technology.

Luck;

I do not think it tells anything about 'compatibility' but is just a
markerteer's idea of a branding scheme.

I'd like to see an image of what the OP saw.

I have some 'Imation' brand DVDs, marked 'DVD+R 8x'. They also have the
logo 'RW' and, immediately beneath, DVD+R (again). Confusing?

It is the logo of the DVD+RW Alliance. http://www.dvdrw.com/

Good to know!

It appears that more confusion is on the horizon:

"DVD+R/+RW" from the page above

what the heck is the "/" ???

Shorthand for "and".

what else could they be meaning? The second "DVD" is obviously implied.
