The history of the Nordisk Film logo and how to use it.
The iconic polar bear enters the digital age
In 2020 Nordisk Film revised its logo.
It has been modernized and made simpler in order to gain stronger digital impact. Today the iconicpolar bear stands out even more, and the globe has been toned down but is still visible with a section of the sphere. The font has also been changed into a more contemporary typography. The revised logo reflects that Nordisk Film is a modern company recognizing market development, technological changes and consumer needs.

Logo variants
There are two basic logo versions: a positive and a negative.
The positive version is white with a black outline and is used on light back grounds and pictures.
• The negative logo is white and used for dark backgrounds (i.e. our corporate dark blue) and pictures.
• Make sure the logo always is presented well defined and distinct.
Please note that the polar bear should always face/look to the left and never to the right.
How to not use the logo
The logo should preferably always be in white in order to create the highest visibility. The polar bear must never be black but can be toned into light grey for aesthetic reasons. The logo can changeinto another colour for campaign purpose for example Pride, Halloween or as part of intro to a movie. See more under Creative use of our logo.

The logo must not be altered or changed and Egmont must always be a part of the logo.
Exclusion zones
When using the Nordisk Film logo please always make sure there is sufficient clear space around it (exclusion zone).
When to use only the icon
The polar bear icon may only be used without name tag by Film Distribution, Film Production and Cinemas.

The polar bear icon (without name tag) may be used under the following circumstances:
1. For challenges in terms of visibility. For example on SoMe channels, movie posters and in film captions where the name feature can be blurred.
2. By remote distance on buildings and signs where the name feature become too small or becauseof aesthetic reasons. For examples on Cinemas and HQ locations. Please note: when using the icon alone on buildings it is preferable that the eye can “imagine” the full circle.
3. Of aesthetic and graphic reasons where the polar bear icon has a decorative purpose. For example on brochures, packaging and merchandise.
History of our logo
Since Nordisk Film’s foundation in 1906 the polar bear - standing majestically on top of a globe - has been an integrated part of our logo and identity. The polar bear represents that Nordisk Film has an international outlook rooted in the Nordic culture, and it draws back all the way to our founder Ole Olsen.
The basic expression of our logo has not changed over time, but visually the logo has followed the trends of time.
