Banco Popular de Puerto Rico

Comments
Established in 1893, this bank is a key institution in Puerto Rico, playing a fundamental role in the island's economy, business, and culture. Its logo, whose origins are unclear, has proven to be enduring. The letters "BPPR," encircled, evoke the solid lines of a vault, symbolizing security and reliability. The repetition of lines in the logo ensures consistency and balance, while the vertical typeface reflects the strength of building pillars.
