Canadian Logos

Design agency Northern Army has created this wonderful project that preserves Canadian logo design. There are some not-so-great designs, but so many gems.

Drool. The folks at Container List posted some photos of a PBS Identity Manual created by Chermayeff & Geismar back in 1984. The manual is part of the Milton Glaser Design Study Center and Archives at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. I wonder if non SVA folks can get access to the archives. Would love to study this manual in person.

CN Logo

The timeless CN mark was designed by Allan Flemming in 1959. The story goes that Fleming came up with the design while traveling on a New York-bound airplane, where he sketched the idea on a cocktail napkin.

Graham Smith put together a great write-up on the history of the logo, with some links to more resourceful information.

The 1972 and 1976 Olympics are often referred to as having the best graphic identity systems, but the one for the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico is often overlooked. It’s right up there, in my opinion. The excellent site, Graphic Ambient, has a great visual overview of the identity system, including a list of the design team.

USA Today Redesign

After 30 years, USA Today has finally redesigned themselves, and I personally love it. The work was done by Wolff Olins, and the new logo features a simple circle and text set in Futura. Each section of the paper gets its own colorway and lockup. Nicely done. What do you think?
