Despite being part of a multinational franchise and despite most stories being translations into Finnish of stories first published abroad, "Aku Ankka" has become a cultural icon in Finland. This is largely due to the magazine's colourful and innovative use of the Finnish language. Many characters' names are Finnish language spoofs of the names of celebrities. In 2001, in recognition of its work for the Finnish language, the editorial team was given the "Kielihelmi" award by the Finnish language department of the University of Helsinki.
