StatoilHydro changes name to Statoil ASA

StatoilHydro ASA is changing its name to Statoil ASA with effect from today, and simultaneously adopting its new visual identity.
The group is taking the opportunity to clarify its future ambitions and strategy. Chief executive Helge Lund will be leading a global town hall meeting on Monday, November 2, which can be followed simultaneously by all employees from Beijing to Calgary.

The group's almost 30,000 employees will be giving the new vision and identity a content through various activities in the time to come. The new visual identity is based on a constellation of stars seen against the Nordic heavens, which has been refined to a guiding star as Statoil's new symbol.

This star represents the group's history, pioneering spirit and ambition to be a leader in efforts to find better solutions for meeting growing energy requirements in a responsible way. Its configuration as a three-dimensional object is motivated by Statoil's strong technological history and strategy.

All parts of the group will use the new identity with the exception of its service station network, which retains its existing Statoil logotype.
