Galp (oil and gas)

[Galp flag]
image by António Martins, 23 May 2004

Logo-on-white company flag of Galp, a portuguese state-owned oil company, who has adopted a new logo last year. I consists of an orange rounded lozenge with a stylized white "G" on it. It is defenitely a frequent sight in Portugal — in tanker trucks, gas (gasoline) stations, butane and propane canisters and pipes, etc. (Approximate rendition — the logo is sometimes like this, with 3D effects, black shadow and yellow glow, some others just the orange outline on white.) The new logo keeps to traditional company color, orange, and the letter from the former logo, but moves away from the oil/gas concept, preparing for diversification and privatization. The company changed also its name to Galp Energia.

The disposition and shape of the "G" are such that if you look at it you’ll see a burning flame, or at least that’s what the designers intended. This keeps it very well within the oil/gas concept.
