The logotype is a stylized representation of the Aurora - an atmospheric phenomenon significant for the polar area - flaring in blue over an icy landscape. The symbol's coloration is distinctly swedish and stands out in comparison with competing international institutions. The logotype was intentionally kept strict, timeless and minimalistic in accordance with the subject matter, but adapts well to different applications and conditions - it's used on everything from the website to shipping containers in Antarctica.
