 A new ASTRA corporate logo was launched today by Société Européenne des

 The new logos clear and elegant design embodies the appeal and
efficiency of the ASTRA satellite system, which boosted programming
choice for millions of viewers all across Europe. It also  symbolises

image of a company which is pioneering the development of satellite

Director of Marketing at SES: "The new logo will further strengthen
ASTRA brand recognition. The roll out of the new trademark across all
ASTRA language markets will be staged to  coincide with extensive
marketing and PR efforts scheduled for this year. ASTRAs traditional
trade partners will discover the new ASTRA design at trade fairs and
exhibitions throughout Europe. This new distinctive emblem will also be
prominently displayed at high profile public events such as the Tour de
France, sponsored by SES for the second year running."
