As of 14 August 2020, manufacturers and importers of organic food (agricultural products) in Ukraine that is marketed as “organic” must ensure that the “organic” logo they are placing on these products is conformant with the revised Technical Description of the Organic Logo.
The Technical Description of the Organic Logo was adopted by Order No. 67 dated 22 February 2019 and amended by Order No. 1336 of 15 July 2020.
The amendments clarify that the following colours should be used for the official “organic” logo:
- Yellow - Pantone 102 C (C0 M0 Y100 K0)
- Green - Pantone 376 C (C50 M0 Y100 K0)
- Blue - Pantone 2995 C (C70 M20 Y0 K0)
- White - 100% Pantone Trans. White.
If a manufacturer intends to use black and white colours only, then the state “organic” logo can be made in black and white. If this is the case, then the following ratio must be observed:
- Yellow – substituted to 20% black
- Green – substituted to 50% black
- Blue – substituted to 90% black
- White - 100% white.
The distance between the state logo and any text or graphic elements must be at least ¼ of the radius of the circle.
