• 4. What does the Edison logo represent ?

  The Edison trademark, which was adopted in 2003, was born from a suggestion that is as simple as it is rich: the roundness of the Earth, the sun and, ideally, the sky. These elements, which are interpreted as energy's original elements, are represented in a composition of arcs of circles.
