Logo-on-white company flag of Galp, a portuguese state-owned oil company,
who has adopted a new logo last year. I consists of an orange rounded lozenge
with a stylized white "G" on it.
It is defenitely a frequent sight in Portugal — in tanker trucks,
gas (gasoline) stations, butane and propane canisters and pipes, etc.
(Approximate rendition — the logo is sometimes like this, with 3D
effects, black shadow and yellow glow, some others just the orange
outline on white.)
The new logo keeps to traditional company color, orange, and the
letter from the former logo, but moves away
from the oil/gas concept, preparing for diversification and privatization.
The company changed also its name to Galp Energia.

The disposition and shape of the "G" are such that if you look at it
you’ll see a burning flame, or at least that’s what the designers
intended. This keeps it very well within the oil/gas concept.

Advertisement “banner” in frequent use (I even saw it
hanging from a company office (in Rua do Alecrim,
Lisbon) along with the national
flag): higher than wide, with the logo set on a bicolor
background, white and orange, divided by a curve line.

Among many others sources, this is documented in a clipart
archive photo published in Diário de Notícias

Galp’s former logo featured a large stylized "G", also
orange on white, sometimes with additional green lettering. This was
inherited from the previous company name, Petrogal, a company
dedicated exclusively to oil and gas transport, refining and
distribution.

The color orange comes from the still previous company, Sonap
(Sociedade Nacional de Petróleos), which had (if I recall
correctly) a logo consisting of a white disc on orange.

I do remember seeing flags with this logo in the 1970ies, but I’m
not sure of the exact design.
