Guidelines for trademark use

The corporate ID for Västerbottensost is based on a single item – the trademark. In all other regards the design must be restrained; a deliberately restrained design that emphasizes the cheese’s authenticity, simple originality and its sharp character. But “restrained” does not mean “plain”. Printing methods and the choice of materials may by all means be of the highest quality and the workmanship must exude the same professional pride as the product itself.
