Cenovus Energy reveals logo

Cenovus Energy Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of EnCana Corporation (TSX, NYSE: ECA), is unveiling its new logo, a wordmark that will help define North America’s newest integrated oil company as an innovative, technical and environmental leader in the development of enhanced oil, natural gas and petroleum products for consumers. Cenovus is expected to become an independent energy company following the completion of the proposed split of EnCana into two distinct energy companies – Cenovus and EnCana, a pure-play natural gas producer.

“The logo created for Cenovus is a graphic reflection of our new company’s commitment to fresh, progressive thinking – new ideas, new technologies, and new approaches to our business,” says Brian Ferguson, EnCana’s Chief Financial Officer and designated President & Chief Executive Officer of Cenovus.

The logo design emphasizes the company name using typography unique to Cenovus. The clean, simple lines of the logo embody strength of purpose, grounding the company in the earth while also reaching for and achieving new possibilities.

The name Cenovus (pronounced se-NO-vus) derives its meaning from its root origins. Cen represents an innovative way of doing business in a new century. Novus is from the Latin word for new. Together, they represent Cenovus’s commitment to developing energy resources in a manner that reflects the company’s honour of and deep-rooted respect for the environment.

The new Cenovus logo will be put into use after the planned transaction closing date. Work continues on completing the proposed split of EnCana into two independent energy companies. The proposed EnCana reorganization is subject to approval by shareholders and the courts. A shareholders vote on the transaction is planned for November 25, 2009 with the closing date expected to be November 30.

“Our employees are putting a great deal of effort into preparing for the anticipated approval of the company split and reorganization into two unique and independent companies. While business continues as normal in most of our operations, there is a lot of work that must be done at the corporate level to help make the transition a smooth one,” says Ferguson.

The Cenovus web domain is registered as www.cenovus.com and is expected to go live on December 1. Prior to completion of the split, information about the restructuring can be found on the EnCana website, www.encana.com.
