A familiar 50-year-old association has rebranded, along with a fresh new logo.
The Canadian Association of Petroleum Landmen (CAPL) is now the Canadian Association of Land and Energy Professionals (CALEP), the third iteration of the association’s brand in 74 years.
The Alberta Landman’s Association was formed in 1948 at the Fairmont Palliser, keeping that name until 1970, when the association changed to become the Canadian Association of Petroleum Landmen (CAPL), with a new logo two years later in 1972.
In 1998, the association further revised the logo with a contemporary look focusing more on the Canadian aspect of the association.
The latest evolution of the name also comes with a revision to the logo, with the red maple leaf being symbolic of the organization being proudly Canadian.
“Canada is a global leader in ethical, sustainable, low carbon energy development from multiple sectors beyond simply petroleum. The grey text emphasizes a calm and neutral colour; akin to our land professionals who bring a balanced and valued business perspective while operating under a broader scope outside of the traditional energy sources,” reads a statement from CALEP. “It is also representative of surviving and thriving in shifting environments and diverse political regimes.
“We are proud of our history and will continue to honour that which was accomplished before,” continues the statement. “We will retain the CAPL trademark and our existing CAPL documents and procedures will remain under the CAPL name.”
