BNP After the 4 May 1966 announcement of the merger between Banque Nationale du Commerce et de l’Industrie (BNCI) and Comptoir National d’Escompte de Paris (CNEP), Banque Nationale de Paris (BNP) has to quickly familiarise the public with its name, logo and expertise. Consequently, the new institution develops its visual identity and, beginning in July 1966, invests the strategic public places in Paris, the suburbs and the provinces. Posters, promoting the BNP logo and its full name, covered the advertising panels on the main thoroughfares and train stations.This poster, displayed on an advertising panel in Hauteville Street in the 10th district of Paris, highlights the BNP logo.
