When used in print and digital the logo

in cases where the logo sits on a dark
background or an image, reversed

to a variety of colored backgrounds
and imagery, but care should be taken
to ensure clarity, prominence and

The minimum size rule is shown
opposite. However, there will be some
exceptions where there is restricted

and messaging principles
How we speak and write are fundamental
to who we are, and our brand identity.
Our Swedish heritage is incredibly important to
our tone of voice. It’s not about Swedish clichés
or accents; it’s about the values and balance that
a Swedish heritage gives us — the positive spin it
puts on the word “professional” and the holistic
way we approach sustainability.
