BP PLC.

B854
B855

BP’s Helios mark was adopted in 2000 after the mergers bringing together British Petroleum, Amoco, Atlantic Richfield and Burmah Castrol. The green, yellow and white sunburst, named for the Greek sun god, represented oil, gas and solar energy and recalled a 1920s marble motif at the London headquarters. Lowercase “bp” accompanies it. FOTW labels B854 current and B855 former; the latter is described as a white, yellow, dark- and light-green flower on white with “bp” above. Rosanoski saw the flag over buildings, but Trevor Hall states that BP Shipping did not use Helios as its flag.
