Seafood from Scotland is a sub-brand of this and has been created to reflect the brand values of people, place and product that are specific to the seafood sector. These three elements, help to build the seafood story and are set against a green/blue tinted background to evoke associations with Scotland’s seawaters and lochs. Other food and drink sectors have a backdrop that is relevant to them e.g. the soft fruits sector is red which can be associated with berries/fruit. This brand trademark must be used in conjunction with the cohesive story and background of people, place and product.
