Our visual identity
Our visual identity has two parts, a graphic element and the logotype that are combined in specific alignment and proportions to form the logo. Easily memorised and instantly recognisable, in Angola our logo is a synonym of innovation and quality of service.

The logotype is the name of Sonangol written in solid black (i.e. RGB: #000000) and in a specific typeface.

The square graphic element is the "S" of Sonangol, drawn in the colors yellow, red and black which, by itself, identifies our company.

The first logo
When Sonangol U.E.E. was established in 1976 Angola was a recently independent country where the people celebrated their young nation. Therefore to further promote that patriotism the colors of the flag - red, black and yellow - were chosen to be the ones in our soon to be designed logo.

After completion of the design process the approved logo was a harmonious combination of the national flag colors with the integration of the "S" that symbolizes Sonangol.

The original logo had only a vertical layout as per the image to the left.

With a simplistic and clean design our logo soon began to be known as "it's Sonangol".

Our contemporary logo
After 28 years of use, the Sonangol logo was redesigned in October 2004 to better express the company's expansion and new image. With the establishment of subsidiaries in diversified business areas, it became mandatory to have a unique identifier logo for all Group Sonangol - a monolithic brand that identifies Group Sonangol as a cohesive integration of companies with a unique visual identity.

The new logo has two layouts: horizontal with the logotype placed to the right of the graphic image, and the vertical where the logotype is below the graphic image.
