TrueBrand was engaged to
develop a new brand for the joint venture between
Tesoro Petroleum and Wal-Mart. Mirastar retail
outlets are located exclusively at Wal-Mart
stores throughout the western region of the
country. TrueBrand created all elements of the
brand identity, from the name and visual identity
to the look of the retail facilites. The name,
Mirastar, derives from the name of a type of
bright star, from the Latin "wonderful," "miraculous."
The "star" in the visual identity is a reference
to the star in the Wal-Mart logo.
