The name \u201cShell\u201d was chosen in honor of the family business selling seashells. Already <strong>in 1930, the first logo was designed<\/strong>, a simple black and white shell. Despite its modesty, this symbol became a reflection of the company\u2019s early growth. The simple design served as an easy tool for mass reproduction and distribution, which was important at the start of global development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"shell_logo_evolution_key_moments\"><\/span><strong>Shell logo evolution: key moments<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2024\/11\/07040328\/shell-all-llogo.png\" alt=\"Evolution of the Shell logo from 1930 to 2020\" class=\"wp-image-16562\" title=\"shell logo evolution\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2024\/11\/07040328\/shell-all-llogo.png 1024w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2024\/11\/07040328\/shell-all-llogo-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2024\/11\/07040328\/shell-all-llogo-768x450.png 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 958px) 958px, 100vw\" data-full=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2024\/11\/07040328\/shell-all-llogo.png\" data-full-size=\"1024x600\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1904, the logo was first infused with color.
