As their industry innovates for the future, and their company continues to think outside the box, the management team at Indiana Michigan Power, has decided it was time to freshen their corporate identity and add an updated tag line to their brand today. The regional utility, which is a subsidiary of American Electric Power, has unveiled a new logo and tagline as part of its focus on providing innovative energy solutions for customers and communities. It’s the first new logo for the company in 30 years.
Toby Thomas is President & Chief Operating Officer at Indiana Michigan Power. He says, “I&M is investing in smarter energy infrastructure and new technologies to provide better, more reliable service and cleaner energy for our customers. We’re committed to developing innovative energy solutions that power communities and improve lives.”
Thomas says the industry is changing and adds, “Our customers’ expectations are evolving, so we must adapt to meet those new expectations. As we become an energy company for the future, it’s time to adopt a new logo and a new tagline – Boundless Energy – to reflect that transformation and our aspirations.”
The new logo represents the first logo change for Indiana Michigan Power since 1987 and is the result of research conducted by engaging customers, employees and other stakeholders as part of an extensive brand review. AEP’s corporate logo and its other utility subsidiaries also have been updated with the new look. Full adoption of the new logo will be phased in over the next two years.
