BHP Billiton was a merger of two large mineral resource companies: the Australian Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited and the Anglo-Dutch Billiton plc.
The new logo was a literal metaphor for the merger of the two companies, presented as a set of two metallic blobs periodically merging creating a new entity. The logo at the time cost around $800,000 to produce at the time. While this icon's meaning overtime has become more moot, it still is one of the most prominent and recognisable symbols of the mining business.

===2017–present===
In May 2017, the Billiton part of the BHP Billiton name was dropped and the company in an campaign to promote the company as a staple of the Australian economy. A new campaign was launched along with a new tagline- "Think Big".
