Pictograms for National Property Board (Statens fastighetsverk)

Graphic design

In collaboration with the experienced signage and wayfinding company HolmquistSign, Identitype has developed a set of pictograms for the government agency National Property Board of Sweden (Statens fastighetsverk). The pictograms follow the agency’s recently revised visual identity in both form and expression. They also comply with SIS standards for international symbol language.

The pictograms have been designed in a functionalist style and match the agency’s house typeface, SFV Funkis, combining beautiful proportions, elegance, and expressiveness with a modernism rooted in the functionalist movement that gained prominence in Sweden during the 1930s. The pictograms are available in positive, negative, and outlined versions.

The new pictograms will be used at all locations and visitor destinations managed and owned by the SFV, both indoors and outdoors. They are intended to help visitors navigate accurately, find their way, and access relevant information and guidance.

We at Identitype are proud to have been part of this important assignment.
