Vietcombank, formed in 1955, was the first Vietnamese governmental bank to become a publicly traded commercial bank. Vietcombank began as a specialist bank for international economic interactions, but it has since evolved into a multi-bank with multi-disciplinary operations that contribute significantly to the stability and development of the Vietnamese national economy. On the occasion of its 50th anniversary in 2013, Vietcombank unveiled a new corporate identity, commemorating key achievements and transformations while also preparing for a new stage of development.
The new Vietcombank logo maintains the bank's long-standing green color scheme, which signifies the strength of nature and the bank's goal to expand via the sustainable improvement of its standards and community engagement. The logo is now a stylised symbol on top of the wordmark, rather than a monogram of VCB letters as it was previously. The sign is meant to depict a connected letter V, the initial letter of the name, but also the spirit to win (V victory). The connection of letter V also refers to the unity of the heart with faith for a shared future with Vietnam's prosperity.
