Moscow Exchange Launches New Logo

Moscow Exchange (MOEX) has unveiled a new logo on Friday to represent the evolutionary changes in the development of the exchange and the entire financial market in the last 10 years.

According to the official press release, the new logo – a steps leading upwards – represents constant growth, development and improvement, and symbolises the fact that Moscow Exchange is more than a stock exchange. Aiming skyward, the logo shows that we are setting the development trajectory for the country's financial market.

At the centre of the new logo are the letters MOEX: short for Moscow Exchange and at the same time the stock exchange ticker for the company's shares.

Moscow Exchange retains the colour red – the colour of confidence, vigour and leadership – as the basis of its brand. Compared with the previous logo, the colour takes on a more modern hue.

"Next year, MOEX will celebrate 30 years in business. In fact, we emerged together with the Russian Federation and over the years created an investment market in the country from scratch. We are growing rapidly, and we've already become more than an exchange. We've gone beyond the classical exchange business: we're expanding into the OTC market, creating platforms that connect financial companies and clients, and opening up new opportunities for investors, corporations and banks. With millions of retail investors entering the market, financial companies are focusing more on the social impact of their activities. Moscow Exchange is, to a large extent, shaping this trend. We feel responsible for people's future, so we are making financial literacy one of our major objectives. It make sense for the company to update its brand at this time in order to be more in line with this agenda," said Yury Denisov, MOEX Chief Executive Officer.

Recently, MOEX announced the appointment of Andrey Selyuk​ as a member of the Executive Board and Chief Financial Officer. The latest appointment was approved by the Supervisory Board of MOEX. After approval by the Bank of Russia, Andrey's candidacy will be submitted for final approval by the Board.
