Mission of SNCF
To promote and develop co-operatives as sustainable enterprises that address social and economic needs through the principle of self and mutual help so as to foster a more resilient society.
Brand Identity
Launched in 2011, SNCF’s new visual identity uses a bold and strong typeface to present strength and solidarity in the Co-operative Movement. The ‘C’ encapsulates the word ‘Co-operative’ as a visual symbol of the principles of self-help and mutual help to serve society. The design of the ‘=’ symbol as part of the ‘F’ seeks to depict equality among all co-operative members.
The blue symbolises resilience and steadfastness, while the secondary colours of fresh green, warm orange and vibrant pink represent youth, senior and community sectors.
