Ericsson’s symbol consists of three parallel, rounded diagonal strokes. The compact construction can suggest an E while remaining distinct from ordinary lettering. The company name underneath supplies the full identity and anchors the lighter symbol.
Ericsson’s official history describes a period when subsidiaries used many variations of its logotype, followed by work toward a unified graphic profile beginning in 1979. That history explains why a repeatable symbol was useful across an international engineering business.
The artwork shown here is the version catalogued as the 2018 logo. Its rounded ends and even spacing are important details: a rough approximation made from three arbitrary slashes would not be the same drawing. Ericsson’s official media resources provide the company context, while the artwork record identifies the specific file used for this entry.
