Taking a brand to pieces
• Old BP logo used from 1979 until 2000
• Corporate, conservative
• Needed to change to keep in touch with changing demographics
Taking a brand to pieces
• As far away from gas as possible, more like a face care logo.
• More feminine, use of sans-serif font makes it more modern and understated.
• A big shift in brand appearance.
• “The initial glow of the BP brand mark has shown signs of wear as critics charge that the brand is not meeting its own challenge to adhere to environmental and safety goals. ...the Wall Street Journal speculates, that ranking will slip (WSJ, 16 June 2006).
• A company’s identity and position statement cannot be simply pasted on to inconsistent actions.”
