About Castrol
A slanted white rounded-rectangle panel with a thin dark-green outline contains a bold, italic red wordmark reading "Castrol" occupying the right two-thirds. On the left is a solid green circle that overlaps the rectangle; inside the circle a horizontal white stripe breaks the green field and a short red checkered/rectangular motif sits on the stripe near the left edge.
Overall the mark is flat and graphic, using high-contrast red and green with clean geometric forms (circle, stripe, angled rounded rectangle) and a slanted, condensed sans-serif wordmark to convey motion and performance.
