The Portuguese company has an allegorical logo filled with meaning. This is because the company has more than 100 subsidiaries involved in all aspects of oil production, from extraction to delivery. The emblem is also linked to history, as the company started out with gas streetlights. The emblem depicts a lantern hook with a stylized flame and an element resembling a well pump. They are enclosed in an orange rhombus with rounded corners, within which there is another white rhombus of smaller size. On the left side is the company name written in black lowercase letters.
The orange rhombus seems to brighten the diverse activities of the company but does not draw attention to itself. The smaller white diamond inside looks like a gem, a hidden treasure, showing that there is more than meets the eye. The stylized flame and pump element give the impression that the company always has a supply of energy. The black letters are simple and clear, making it easy to memorize the name without fuss.
