LOGO OVERVIEW
A Look Towards
the Future
Since its inception in 2002, we’ve worked to build BAP into what
it is today – the most comprehensive aquaculture certification
program in the world. Over 150 retail and food-service operators
worldwide are endorsers of the BAP program, and they are talking
to their customers about responsible seafood. Consumers are
more interested in knowing where their food comes from and
how it is sourced. Given the increased awareness surrounding
responsibility, we understand the need to make our program more
visible to consumers. One way to communicate the BAP brand and
program is through the logo. In an effort to update the BAP brand,
we’ve created a logo that better reflects our connection to GSA,
speaks to our continuous improvement in the industry, and can be
displayed clearly on product pack, online and in print.
