Mattilsynet

Mattilsynet, the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, hadn’t adjusted their visual identity since it was formed in 2004. Since then, both Mattilsynet and their needs have changed. The visual identity lacked strategic grounding and did not meet current requirements, including universal design. After updating the strategic platform, we worked on a new visual identity which would be the foundation of their design system and development of both digital and analogue services.

The goal for the new identity (and logo symbol) was to convey that Mattilsynet works “from fjord and soil to table”; showing the breadth of their mission, management areas, and fields of expertise – plants, fish, animals, and foodstuffs. It should also convey that they work with the entire value chain, food systems, and sustainability, and that they work together as one team towards a common goal. They assist and guide their users in a simple and clear way, to make it easier to do right.
