The Nickname PRIO, Given by the Stock Exchange Panels to the Oil and Gas Company PetroRio, Becomes the Official Name of the Company in May 2022
The largest independent oil and gas company in Brazil, PetroRio, has a new face and is now called PRIO. Do you know where this name came from? From the acronym of the panels that indicate stocks on the Stock Exchange, specifically from the B3 index. PetroRio has been trading shares since 2020 on the stock exchange, and the company’s new visual identity promises to make it easier for future shareholders and interested parties to identify.
The nickname PRIO is already well-known in the market, even used by its own employees and analysts. Therefore, the unification of the name only served to strengthen the brand and will add even more value. The redesign of the brand was done by the Plau studio in partnership with the Rastro agency. This new visual identity features a new typeface, PRIO Sans, which includes curves representing Rio de Janeiro and straight lines, pointing to seriousness.
