The corporate logo shown at right is the foundation of Wegagen’s graphic identity system. This distinctive symbol, designed to be easily recognized and remembered internationally, consists of two elements

In a bid to show that we are proud of our Ethiopian heritage, we grabbed the unique opportunity of structural similarity of the initial letter of Wegagen in both the Ethiopic and Roman characters, to form our logo.

The Wegagen bank Logo mark represents Wegagen’s initial letter

“W” & the Ethiopic letter “ወ".

The circular character represents the sun and the arc of aspiration that rises in the mark represents the bounty, triumph, expansion and success of our bank.

Color is one of the most memorable and powerful elements of brand defining its recognition. Nothing expresses a company’s spirit within their marketing and communication materials better than color. Wegagen’s Corporate Color is Orange. The illumination of the rising sun – a natural phenomenon is well captured by the name Wegagen, in Amharic meaning the morning glow indicating the time that the sun is rising from the shadows, which symbolizes the beginning of a new day full of aspiration and hope. Orange is the natural color of Wegagen. Symbolically, Orange stands for prestige, wisdom, illumination, wealth and quality.

Hence, Orange proudly reflects the values Wegagen cherishes and stands for in all its endeavors to meet customers’ needs.
The Wegagen visual identity uses a primary palette of colors that reflect the richness of our company experiences and passion for excellence. Our colors are derived from the powerful morning glow of rising sun colors which are warm, vibrant and flamboyant. Orange is a color of fun, risk taking adventure which inspires and creates enthusiasm.

Our Brief History

Wegagen Bank SC was established in 1997 and started operation on 11th of June the same year.
