BSTDB Introduces New Logo Reflecting Strategic Vision and Institutional Growth

Press Release | 15-Sep-2025

A modern look for a new chapter

The Black Sea Trade and Development Bank (BSTDB) has unveiled a new logo, marking a significant step in aligning its visual identity with its evolving role and strategic direction. The redesigned logo comes as the Bank has relocated to its new headquarters in Thessaloniki, symbolizing a new era of growth, modernisation, and increased visibility.

The updated design retains the signature wave, a longstanding symbol of the Black Sea region, now presented in a more dynamic and contemporary form. The new color scheme-featuring deep blue, green, and white-highlights BSTDB's enduring commitment to stability, sustainability, and transparency.

A key feature of the rebranding is the transition from the Bank's full name to the more widely recognised acronym "BSTDB." This change reflects the way partners and stakeholders already identify the institution and enhances clarity and consistency across communications.

"Our new logo represents continuity with a clear eye to the future," said Dr. Serhat Köksal, President of BSTDB. "It reflects the Bank's growing recognition, our strengthened operational focus, and our firm commitment to sustainable development in the region we serve."

The new identity, endorsed by the Bank's Board of Governors, will be rolled out progressively across digital platforms, publications, and the new headquarters.

To ensure brand consistency, partners are kindly requested to discontinue use of the previous logo. Updated branding materials and guidelines are available upon request at [email protected].
