Graphic identity

Swedish Life Cycle Center collaborates in several different constellations. With partner organizations, with government agencies and with other centers like ours. No matter when or where one must recognize Swedish Life Cycle Center. That is what we call our graphic identity.

Logotype

The logo is our primary visual feature. It shows that Swedish Life Cycle Center is behind the activity or information. The arrows and circle have been part of the logo since the birth of the organization and they associate to the life cycle and the different steps in it. By consistently following the guidelines for using our logo, it becomes clear to the surroundings what the center means and our brand is strengthened.

Give the logo the space it deserves. To the right the minimum space needed around the logotype is specified.

The logo may not be abused by putting it on different back grounds, turning it upside down, showing it in black/white, cutting it, adding shadows to it or using the circle isolated.
