Cadence Bank Reveals Its New Logo

"Both of our legacy companies - Cadence Bank and BancorpSouth - have rich histories of serving our customers and communities. Our new logo will build upon our respective legacies and carry us forward on our growth path," said Dan Rollins, chairman and CEO of Cadence Bank. "We're confident this new logo, as well as the other elements of our brand identity, celebrates our pasts, conveys who we are today and moves us into the future as a combined company."

As part of its logo reveal, Cadence Bank will ring The Opening Bell® at 9:30 a.m. E.T. this morning at the New York Stock Exchange.

About the logo design

The logo's design visually combines the Cadence name with a modernized interpretation of a tree, which is a nod to legacy BancorpSouth's tupelo gum tree logo from the bank's origin in Tupelo, Mississippi. The two sets of identical shapes, representing branches and leaves, demonstrate how the two legacy organizations have aligned and will work together in harmony with each other and our customers, finding the perfect balance of solutions for the customers and communities we serve. The upward motion of the design reflects the positive outcomes the company strives to provide to all of its stakeholders.

The company's two primary brand colors, a rich teal and a bright green, reflect the combined color of the two legacy brands (BancorpSouth's green and Cadence's blue) creating a differentiated and modern expression in the market.

The Cadence name and "Bank" descriptor are set in Accord Alternate, which is a highly legible, accessible and distinctive font.

"Our company's new visual identity illustrates the union of our two strong brands. The more we work together, the more we see our teammates' shared focus on our customers and communities," said Paul Murphy, executive vice chairman of Cadence Bank. "This is a significant milestone for the new Cadence and a key element of our brand story."

Legacy BancorpSouth Bank and legacy Cadence Bank will continue to operate under their respective brands until system integration, which is expected to occur in October 2022. For now, customers should continue using their respective BancorpSouth or Cadence branches, checks, bank cards, online and mobile banking, and other banking services as they usually do.
