1979-1991[]

This stylized rose was made in 1969 by the artist Bengt Blomgren as a homage to the outgoing party leader Tage Erlander. It's usually referred to as "the older red rose", Swedish: "den äldre röda rosen".
The rose was printed as a pin and was given to everyone who donated money to the Erlanderfund, a fund that "supports swedish scientific and technical research".
1991[]

BETTER LOGO NEEDED |
Under the election campaign of 1991 a real living rose was used as the party symbol.
1993–2006[]

In 1993 came the modern rose. It was designed by Spanish designer Javier Mariscal. His ambition was reportedly to "create a symbol which everyone could see themselves in. One that's living and as changeable as us. The rose can therefore be happy, sad, angry or wistful".

2006–2010[]

In 2006 a version with a darker red and without text was introduced.
2010–2019[]

The 2010 logo has a slight shadow under the rose and grey text, as opposed to the red text we saw earlier in the Mariscal logo.
2019–present[]
The previously grey text has been restored to the original red, and the drop shadow behind the rose has been removed. The logo is also bigger.
