Säter municipality slogan JO-reported – Göteborgs-Posten



When säter municipality submitted a trademark application to protect his prize winning slogans were Matts Andersson enough. The only solution was to JO notify the municipality.

säter municipality has made a trademark application on the slogan “I’m crazy about Sater”. When Matts Andersson, 73, from Sater found out this was the only natural reaction to JO notify the municipality, it writes Aftonbladet.

– Sater is so linked to the mental hospital, when one is Säterbo and are out and travel in Sweden is always someone who says “you have escaped or?” and they laugh all. The nature of the violations can endure, but that a municipality goes out and promote themselves in this way is disgusting, says Matts Andersson told the newspaper.

According to Matt, the municipality has printed up both T-shirts and balloons with the new logo. But Matt, who has worked as a sound man and represent people who take offense at the municipality’s new slogan, is critical of the municipality’s behavior.

T-shirts, patches and umbrellas with municipal slogan the usually divided into different contexts. Councillor Abbe Ronsten (S) carries the day a canvas bag with “I’m crazy about Sater” pressure on.

– I have a favor bag that I usually have, instead of the portfolio, it has little become my hallmark. I love my community and I stand for, he said.

However, he thinks that it is sad that local residents take offense.

– But a slogan that does not arouse any feelings is pretty useless, says Abbe Ronsten.

He goes on to the reason why they have chosen to protect their trademark slogan is to have control over it. They do not want to use it in a wrong way that could be offensive to the people receiving psychiatric care.

2011 was named “I’m crazy about Sater” to the country’s best municipal slogan, by a vote. Would Ombudsman criticizing “I’m crazy about Sater” will review the municipality’s slogan.
