Olivier Touzeau, 17 June 2020

The logo was unveiled on 26 January 2016 during the year's first council of the MRC.
The logo symbolizes a landscape where the triangle's upper part represents stability and force, while their lower part, curved downwards like waves, represents the MRC human values. The triangles also recall the territory's trees, mountains, valleys and bodies of water. The logo is accentuated by the different green, blue and turquoise shapes.
The balance of the shades, light in the upper part and dark in the lower part, conveys depth, like when looking to the horizon; when a gradation of darkest to lightest shades is perceived. This reflects the MRC's vast Nordic territory.

The typeface belongs to the Agenda family, from top to bottom:
