Signalnoise: Inspiration: Logos from Canada

sauce: Signalnoise

Here is a round-up of some fine Canadian logos, grabbed from one of my favorite websites, The Canadian Design Resource. Canada has a wonderful history in terms of identity design with simple and iconic logos, most of which remain quite timeless. Listed above are:

1. Canadian Metric Movement

2. Westbeach

3. Okanagan Spring Brewery icon

4. Montreal Alouettes

5. Potash Corporation

6. Marlborough Hotel

7. Delta Acceptance

8. Art Gallery of Ontario

9. Toronto Images Festival

10. Northwest Territories

11. Ville de Sainte-Laurent

12. Green party

We live in a time when logos seem very polished and over-produced, a logical side-effect given the technology we now have, however most of the above stand the test of time. I am especially fond of the Potash Corporation, Northwest Territories and the Green Party logos. Beautiful in their simplicity, and I don’t say that only because I am Canadian :)
