About the Research Data Scotland brand
Research Data Scotland (RDS) and its brand is inspired by and rooted in three key principles: clarity, simplicity, and trust. These principles inform how each of our brand assets are communicated and represented.
The primary signifier of the RDS brand is our logo. It is representative of everything we are and do.
The logo marque is constructed from a series of dispersing dots, its symbolism is rooted in images and ideas of data, graph-making and information. Its overall shape represents direction and progress, whilst subtly alluding to the flag of Scotland.
