Effective July 29th, 2025, Midea has received official authorization from Fortune Magazine to use the Fortune Global 500 name and logo for promoting the Midea brand and business globally, under specific usage conditions.

The validity period of this authorization is from July 29th, 2025, to July 28th, 2026.

Quick Guide: Fortune Global 500 Claim Usage

Here are the official Fortune Global 500 logos for 2024.

You may have come across other Fortune logos from previous years, but please note that Fortune releases new logo designs annually. These are the only two logos authorized for use in 2024, and they are the only ones we are permitted to use.

Ideal usage: Choice & Scaling

Contrast
Choose the version of the Fortune 500 logo that offers the maximum contrast against the background artwork to ensure visibility and clarity.

Scaling
The Fortune 500 logo should never be taller than the accompanying Midea logo, specifically the height of the Midea swirl icon.

Placement
Placement is generally at the discretion of the project owner, but we recommend sharing a final draft with MIB Marketing for review and feedback prior to execution.

Ideal usage: Placement

The Fortune Global 500 listing is a valuable brand claim that should be leveraged as much as possible in our communications to enhance Midea’s credibility and global stature.

When used, the claim should be placed on the same hierarchical level as other brand claims or call-outs (see example). The Midea logo must always stand alone, and any additional call-out or claim—such as the Fortune 500—should appear smaller in size than the main brand logo to maintain visual hierarchy and brand dominance.

Contacts

Midea’s inclusion in the Fortune Global 500 is a remarkable milestone for our company and a testament to the collective efforts of all employees.

We encourage all teams to leverage this prestigious recognition to enhance brand credibility and strengthen our communications.
