History

Unilever Philippines, Inc. was established in 1927. Known until 1993 as Philippine Refining Company (PRC), it started as an oil milling business which at its peak produced nearly 100,000 tons of coconut oil annually.

The company has been introducing new technologies into the country since the early days of its existence - margarine production in the 1930s, non-soap detergents, shampoos and toothpaste in the 1960s and 1970s and sulphonation technology and cogeneration power plant in the 1980s. The nineties has seen the company focusing on several improvements in the Environment front one of which was the introduction of the first 100% biodegradable detergent bar in the Philippines.

In 1993, the company's name was formally changed from Philippine Refining Company (PRC) to Unilever Philippines (PRC), Inc., with a matching gold and platinum icon and a silver triangle to mark the name change. "Total Quality - Paglilingkod namin sa inyo" was the first tagline of the relaunched firm.

Unilever changed the format in 1997, where it creates a U shape, with a handwritten typeface and color blue icon, the brand is now developed by Total Quality for this real logo. The logo had been in use until June 2004.

The company started using the current Unilever corporate logo starting July 2004 and was designed by the brand consultancy Wolff Olins. It is composed of 25 icons woven together to create a U shape.

Marketing

Between early 1998 and mid-2007, each TV commercial of any Unilever brand it says at the end of commercial (with logo and voice over plus moments of silence, especially when it's on blue color on a white background): "From Unilever." Because the logo then was changed in 1997 after the Unilever-PRC logo to make a new image, the word "from Unilever" came from 1998. Later, the Unilever logo will appear after peeling in any edge in the end of the commercial, and currently using the "flip" after the commercial ends, starting in 2011.
