Lerum Municipality (Lerums kommun) is a special area in western Sweden. It is located just east of Gothenburg. This area is called a municipality. Its main town and administrative center is Lerum.
In 1969, Lerum Municipality became its current size. This happened when the older Lerum area joined with Skallsjö and Stora Lundby.
Symbols of Lerum
In 2007, Lerum Municipality got a new logotype. A logotype is like a special picture or symbol that represents a company or place. This new symbol was created to be used instead of its older official coat of arms.
Old Coat of Arms
The old coat of arms showed the head of an ox and three oak leaves. Officials thought this old symbol looked "outdated." Even though it is not used much anymore, the coat of arms is still officially recognized.
New Logotype Design
The new logotype has a colorful weaving pattern. This modern design helps represent the municipality in a fresh way.
