How to use the Swedish Research Council’s logotype
The logo may be used in contexts where the Swedish Research Council is the sender, a collaborator or a funding body. It may also be used by media in conjunction with news items where the Swedish Research Council is mentioned.
In the event the Swedish Research Council is the sole funding body, this shall always be stated in conjunction with the logo. Please use the text “With funding from” or corresponding wording clarifying that the Swedish Research Council is providing funding and is not the sender. See the examples below.
Examples when the Swedish Research Council is the only funding body

Guidelines for placement
- The logo shall always be mounted on a calm background to provide great contrast with the black or white symbol and text.
- The logo shall always have a minimum of 5 mm of clear space around it to make it visible and readable.
- The logo may not be cut down, coloured or changed in any way.
