Abstract: A {em word labeled oriented graph} (WLOG) is an oriented graph $calG$ on vertices $X=x_1,ldots,x_k$, where each oriented edge is labeled by a word in $X^{pm1}$. WLOGs give rise to presentations which generalize Wirtinger presentations of knots. WLOG presentations, where the underlying graph is a tree are of central importance in view of Whitehead's Asphericity Conjecture. We present a class of aspherical world labeled oriented graphs. This class can be used to produce highly non-injective aspherical labeled oriented trees and also aspherical cyclically presented groups.
