curefco TURTLE LOGO
The CUREFCO main logo represents the shape of a TURTLE shield. The TURTLE logo is positioned head downwards representing the TURTLE´s dive to the sea bed. The essential need to dive downward to ocean sea bed seeking for alimentation after which a return back to the surface for fresh oxygen is equally important. The TURTLE is brave to face the challenge combined with the ability to anticipate on potential risks of each diving operation. The coloured segments in the outer parts of the TURTLE shield represent the commitment of the members and subsidiaries of the CUREFCO GROUP to build a sustainable eco system. The inner part of the TURTLE Shield represent the essential upstream pitch which we bring to the surface. The human life depends on a sustainable future, we need to protect our assets and safe energy which was formed by mother earth for the many generations to come.
