This is the logo for Stockholm Municipality. Further details: The logotype of the municipality of Stockholm, located in Stockholm County, Sweden. It features the municipal arms with Saint Eric, and has existed in its current form since 2013. There are three variants of it:

1. The first one, shown here, is in black and white, and is intended for light backgrounds.
2. The second one, intended for dark backgrounds, is white, and shows the escutcheon with a transparent field.
3. Finally, there exists a full‐color version, where the arms are shown with their true tinctures, which is however reserved for "extremely few exceptions", such as "solemn occasions with a strong connection to tradition"; it may also only be used with a white background.

The arms themselves date back to a seal of Stockholm, attested from 1376. Later, in the beginning of the 20th century, as it was noted that numerous variants were in use ("at least as many as the number of administrations"), the artist Yngve Berg was commissioned to create a uniform design; and as such, the arms were formally adopted by the city council in 1923. The King in Council later confirmed them in 1934. While Yngve Berg's version forms the basis for the current design to this day, it was modernized and stylized in 1961 by Karl‐Erik Forsberg. Although later revised, it is his emblazonment that is currently in use. By decision of the city council, Saint Eric constitutes the sole and common logotype of the City of Stockholm, since 1997.
The pre‐2013 logotype consisted of the arms in color, encircled by a circumscription reading "STOCKHOLMS STAD".
