Total is also the name of our flagship brand. Introduced in 1954, it enjoys strong recognition and acceptance among our stakeholders and customers. The service station network has now been successfully renovated. As part of this process, the Total brand has become more contemporary, reflecting our strength and drive.
Milestones
1953: Compagnie Française de Raffinage registers the new Total brand in Paris.
1954
July 14 (Bastille Day) is chosen as the launch date for the "Super Carburant Total" brand. The first TOTAL logos emphasize its French nationality, with the name in red letters against a white background between two blue triangles. Marketing operations expand, and Total-branded products are introduced in different markets
1955
A gas pump logo expands on the French theme, with a red flame on a blue circle against a white background.
1963
The shape of blue-white-red symbol is softened, and the new logo is known familiarly as the "soap bar".
1970
Still in three colors, the logo is redesigned to express greater stability and strength (larger characters, horizontal design), rather than the earlier era’s more martial spirit of conquest (no more diagonals).
1982
A new trademark block is introduced, broadening the previously patriotic symbolism. It combines strength (bright red, powerful font), assertiveness (diagonal stripes) and friendliness (warm orange).
1991-1992
In June 1991, the Group takes the name of the brand that identifies it in more than 80 countries worldwide and in 1992, without changing its spirit, the trademark block is rejuvenated with more energetic lettering. The interior is simplified and given more drive by eliminating rounded edges, while horizontal lines are lighter and the space between letters is reduced. The stripes are narrower, opening up the brand and making it more readable. The colors are sharper.
2003
After the successful completion of two mergers with PetroFina and Elf Aquitaine, the Group is renamed Total in May 2003 with a new visual identity and a new logo.
