Polenergia is Poland’s largest private energy group, and its visual identity has undergone a significant transformation in recent years to reflect a strategic shift toward renewable energy. The current logo, introduced in early 2022, uses green and brown colors that reference the company’s new positioning as a provider of zero-emission energy.
Design and History
In the first quarter of 2022, Polenergia conducted a rebranding that involved changing the colors and refreshing the logo of the group. The refreshed logo in green and brown colors references the new positioning of the company as an entity focusing on green energy and providing its clients with zero-emission “energy from the future” in the Energia 2051 standard. The change was announced in connection with the company’s entry into the dispersed energy market, following the acquisition of Edison Energia and the establishment of two new companies, Polenergia Fotowoltaika and Polenergia Pompy Ciepła. The color change initially applied to the parent company and the two new entities, with other subsidiaries following in subsequent weeks. [1] [2]
The rebranding was carried out by the Polish design studio Mamastudio. The studio redesigned the logo and wordmark with a modern, sentence-case typeface, and introduced a distinctive turquoise hue described as fresh, recognizable, and forward-looking. The work resulted in a full visual identity system applied consistently across all platforms, from social media and the website to physical locations and customer service points. [3]
Prior to the 2022 refresh, the Polenergia logo featured capital lettering and a red geometric figure. A 2021 description of the earlier logo noted a large wordmark in printed capital letters with an ascetic typeface, accompanied by a red geometric shape described as a square with a cut-out triangle, possibly representing a cable seen from the side.

Meaning and Symbolism
The 2022 color change was directly tied to the company’s strategic repositioning. According to Polenergia’s official announcement, the refreshed logo in green and brown colors references the company’s new positioning as an entity focusing on green energy. [1] Mamastudio’s strategy involved changing the signet color to turquoise green to symbolize clean energy. [5]
Typography and Design
Mamastudio redesigned the Polenergia wordmark with a modern, sentence-case typeface, replacing the previous capital lettering with clean, modern lettering. [3] [5] The studio noted that in the renewable energy category, green and blue color codes dominate, and the challenge was not rejecting these conventions but making them distinctive. [3]
