Where did Octan come from? Why was it chosen? - Bricks Octan, is simply Octane in Danish, which is a chemical in and associated with gasoline making it a sensible name for a fictional petroleum energy company The LEGO Group (under pressure by a Greenpeace campaign) stopped the previous corporate partnerships, which had featured real world oil companies logos in LEGO sets, to distance themselves
LEGO and fuel company commercial relationship? - Bricks With the exception of some promotional sets, LEGO stopped using actual oil company names and logos on its sets in 1992 when it introduced the fictional Octan brand At that time it appears Shell was the only oil company LEGO had an active license agreement with
Which brands (fictional and non-fictional) have appeared in . . . - Bricks 'Octan' (oil energy company) 'AirLine' (now uses the bird logo) 'International Transport' (eg 161 and 6367) Cargo company (yellow box on blue world logo) - eg 4551; Real Shell (1966-1980, before Octan was introduced, e g 1256) Ferrari (eg 8673 - part of the 'Racers' theme but minifig scale) Toys R Us ; Maersk (1552, 1831, 1651, etc)

set identification - Partial Truck needs to be identified - Bricks There is a transfer on both sides (on red bricks, which made me think of a fire truck, but no luck) This sticker looks like an advertisement or sponsorship logo you might see on a vehicle It says Octan, then Tele (with the top of the T being a telephone receiver), then a white square with a black border with the initials CB in black typeface
set identification - Which buildings in the LEGO Island video . . . - Bricks The Lego race cars in the game were similar to these sets: 1477, 1990, 1517 and 1612 I can't find the racetrack start itself but it was in keeping of the Octan branding that was used I thought the ambulance was set 6666 but I was wrong, the one in-game had a much longer sloped roof The Bank (which was always closed?)
moc - The Coffee Chain - Bricks Noting LEGO's tendencies to use and re-use symbols across themelines (i e , Octan paraphernalia, Classic Space logo, etc,) I could see some potential for them to include the sticker in a future set Another real possibility is the long-awaited release of a City Coffee Shop
The LEGO Logo Font - Bricks Im preety sure Lego would of already digitized this font a long time ago Why would they not? Its preety easy too considering the SVG format, and 99% of computer fonts are actually vectors now too
