Stenungsunds IF is a Swedish football club based in Stenungsund, founded on 27 April 1927. The club’s visual identity is documented in an official graphic profile published on its website, which specifies the club’s colors and logo usage rules.
Design and History
The club’s original emblem was designed by Bengt Bengtsson, who also became the club’s first chairman. According to the club’s own history page, Bengtsson designed the club badge as a copy of Södertälje IF’s emblem, but with different colors. Bengtsson had moved to the west coast from Södertälje before the club was founded in 1927.[1]
The club’s official graphic profile document, hosted on the Stenungsunds IF website, describes the logo as featuring the text “STENUNGSUNDS IF” along with the years “19 27” and “27”, referencing the club’s founding year.[2] The document also provides examples of logo usage across club materials.
Meaning and Symbolism
The club’s official colors are red and white. The club’s website repeatedly refers to the team as “de rödvita” (the red and white) and encourages supporters to “dress Stenungsund in red and white” when promoting club merchandise.[3] The club’s graphic profile specifies the red as PMS 186, used together with gold and white.[2]
Typography and Design
The club’s graphic profile document specifies the logo’s color information, listing red as CMYK 0c, 100m, 80y, 0k and PMS 186, combined with gold and white. The document also includes examples of logo usage, showing the club name “STENUNGSUNDS IF” displayed alongside the years “19 27” and “27”.[2]
While the club’s history page confirms that the original 1927 emblem was modeled on Södertälje IF’s design with different colors, no official source documents when or how the current logo was introduced or whether it retains elements of the original design.[1]
