LONDON, APRIL 8, 2016 – Global brand strategy, design and experience firm Siegel+Gale (www.siegelgale.com) today announced the completion of a refreshed brand platform and visual identity for Bahrain Petroleum Company, Bapco (http://www.bapco.net), the regional oil and gas leader.
In response to the evolving business landscape in Bahrain, Bapco seized the opportunity to re-evaluate its differentiated international offering. Siegel+Gale was tasked with redefining the Bapco brand story to highlight the company’s contribution to the national economy and global energy market. This was achieved through the development of a clear purpose—“Bringing energy to the world for the enduring prosperity of the Kingdom of Bahrain.” The new brand purpose is complemented by the tagline—“Empowering Progress”.
The creative team was asked to craft a modern and agile identity for Bapco’s growing business. The visual identity is articulated through the idea of generating possibilities, emphasizing the company’s continued central role in Bahrain’s economy. “The new identity is rooted in national visual vernacular and encompasses interchangeable brand graphics as well as a new proprietary image library which captures the optimism, warmth and spirit of partnership at Bapco,” explained Dan Vasconcelos, Associate Creative Director, Siegel+Gale.
“Bapco’s partnership with Siegel+Gale has far exceeded our expectations. The project will move forward into its implementation stage and the new identity highlights —in part—Bapco’s image as a judicious energy business,” commented Bapco’s Chief Executive, Dr. Pete Bartlett.
