Greenpeace is leading a new campaign against BP. One of their first actions is to rebrand BP beacuse “green logo doesn’t suit a company that engages in dangerous offshore drilling”.

Due to this announcement they started a design contest in the search of this new logo which will be “more suitable for their dirty business”.
