Freedam's take

I really appreciate how practical this manual is for municipal work. The guidelines lay out the City of Oslo identity with clear restraint, walking through the St. Hallvard logo, geometric composition grids, and the custom Oslo Sans typeface. Everything feels grounded in civic duty. I noticed the dedicated asset page neatly organizes logo files for print, screen, and even CAD environments alongside font packages. Requiring users to check a box confirming they accept the guidelines before downloading is a thoughtful, low-friction touch that keeps design standards front and center.

Structured, utilitarian, and clear civic design guidance.

What I noticed

  1. The identity introduces the custom Oslo Sans typeface across Light, Regular, Medium, and Bold weights, along with italics and contextual alternates.123
  2. Asset downloads include dedicated logo packages for screen, print, and CAD applications alongside TrueType, OTF, and WOFF font archives.456
  3. Each asset download card includes a confirmation checkbox requiring acceptance of brand manual terms before downloading.7
  4. Clear space and placement rules illustrate logo sizing inside circular and rectangular containers using green checks and red crosses.89

Numbers refer to the screenshots above.

What I could not see

  • Could not inspect the full contents of password-protected or restricted internal municipal sections.
  • Could not view full guidelines for signage ('Skilt i Oslo kommune') or physical merchandise ('Profilmateriell').

Ideas to borrow

  1. Providing CAD-specific logo packages ensures architects, city planners, and signage contractors have ready-to-use vector assets directly from the manual.104
