New Orleans Public Belt Railroad Unveils Sleek New Logo

New Design Celebrates Port Synergy

NEW ORLEANS- The New Orleans Public Belt Railroad (NOPB) today launched a new corporate logo, marking the most dramatic change in the company’s visual identity since 1908. Featuring the New Orleans fleur-de-lis, the new logo celebrates NOPB’s synergy with the Port of New Orleans, a partnership started in February 2018. The same vibrant red and subtle blue featured in the original historic “belt” NOPB logo honors where the company has been and its sleek new design looks to the future. “Our new logo better communicates what NOPB stands for today,” notes General Manager Doug Campbell. “We have included the original blue and red to pay respect to our heritage but the design embodies the forward looking thinking we have adopted in partnership with the Port of New Orleans and as a proud member of the transportation Gateway.” “We work together as a team to plan for future growth,” said Brandy Christian, CEO of the Port of New Orleans and New Orleans Public Belt Railroad. “Now we will be able to market ourselves visually as a team, providing superior logistics solutions.”

The new logo will be used along with both NOPB and “Rail NOLA”. A new website will be launched in late September as a part of the rebranding effort. Visit the company’s social media pages or email ailsa.vondobeneck@railnola.com for a high-resolution version of the new logo.
