ExxonMobil

       ExxonMobil, is an American multinational oil and gas corporation headquartered in Irving, Texas, United States.After the merger of Exxon (formerly Standard Oil of New Jersey) and Mobil (Standard Oil of New York) the name of the company came to be known as ExxonMobil.
Exxon explained : The company initially planned to change its name to "Exon", in keeping with the four-letter format of Enco and Esso. However, during the planning process, it was noted that James Exon was the governor of Nebraska. Renaming the company after a sitting governor seemed ill-advised, and the second "x" was added to the new name and logo.
Mobil explained : Following the break-up of Standard Oil in 1911, the Standard Oil Company of New York, or Socony, was founded, along with 33 other successor companies. In 1920, the company registered the name "Mobiloil" as a trademark.Mobil’s logo itself does not represent anything, but the colors do. The red represents strength while the blue in the logo represents faithfulness and security.
