The Lucanus Logo
The Stag Beetle – lucanus cervus – is the largest terrestrial insect in Europe with male species up to 9 cm in length. Since the beetle mainly lives of sap from older oak trees, Denmark and Southern Sweden is at the northern boarder where it can spread.
Mainly due to the reduction of older oak forrest in Denmark and Southern Sweden, the population of lucanus cervus was dramatically reduced in the 20th century and in Denmark it became listed as a protected specie in 1924. In 1970 the last living lucanus cervus was registred in Denmark and it was then considered extinguished. But in 2008 one lucanus cervus was found in a garden near Copenhagen, a finding classified as “sensational”.
The lucanus cervus is still extremely rare in Denmark and Sweden and is listed as “critically endangered” so it was a bit of a sensation when a fine male suddenly walked over the floor in my cottage in Southern Sweden a nice summer day in 2013.
And since that day I knew that a lucanus cervus should be the grafical picture of the company logo and the company name.
The Lucanus logo is designed by Milla Design in Copenhagen.
