This made my day. Vancouver based designer Oliver Tomas uploaded an amazing collection of Scandinavian logos from the 1960s & 70s to his flickr account. Thanks Oliver!

Nice logos! Really like the SM one.

These are all great! Thanks for taking the time to upload them all Oliver.

Thanks for these - quite interesting to see some old branding - wonder how many of these companies are still going?

Thanks for sharing these logos with us. I’m a big fan of retro design, so I really enjoyed it! My favourite ones are Digsmed Denmark and Unika Vaev! :)

Funnily enough, when I first cast my eye across these logos my subconscious was telling me that they were all current-day designs. So that probably says something about how a lot of modern logos are perhaps now taking a lot of influence from this retro look. I really think a lot of these wouldn’t look out of place on many websites out there at the moment.

Hola a todos, los logos son muy bonitos. Mi favorito es “dr”. saludos
