Logos and Identities

The Small Business Accountants
The Small Business Accountants help companies to flourish and grow – providing More than just the numbers. Logo, usage guidelines, stationary, presentation materials, signage and a website are all part of their branding – taking them from a home-based business to their first office.

The Grateful Heart Foundation
The Grateful Heart Foundation's aim is to reach $3,350,000 in endowment funds, a portion of which will be granted annually in equal parts to the care of Canada’s elderly and the protection of animals. A "heart & hand" logo was created for a cream-coloured stationary package.

 

The Range of Motion Therapeutic Massage
A new massage therapy business has opened in Canmore. To represent the area we created a unique logo that combines the mountains of the Bow Valley with a hand in a mountain shape. 

Chateau Mountain Sports
Chateau Mountain Sports required a re-branding because of a change of ownership. The new owners, Rayna and Sean wanted to capture the traditional atmosphere of their location inside the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Three inter-changeable logos were designed and will be used on all marketing materials including re-useable bags, ceramic water bottles, and signage. Their content management website includes an online rental reservation form...www.chateaumountainsports.com

Interpretive Guides Association
The Interpretive Guides Association's mandate is to connect people with nature in Canada's mountain parks. Their new identity combines the image of a mountain and alpine lake inside a feather – a metaphor for the stories that are told by the nature interpreters. Name, logo, pins, brochures, and a content management website are some of the elements that were created for their new look. www.interpretiveguides.org

Good Circle
Good Circle works with non-profits and charities in Canada who are looking for new ways to reach their constituents online. They are a full service website agency that provides strategy and implementation services. Some of their clients include Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation, Kidney Foundation's March, Feed the Hungry and New Music Centre.

 

Martha's Heli-Hikes
For the identity for Martha's heli-hiking company, we were inspired by the old Canadian Pacific railway tourism posters. We created brochures distributed by Impact throughout the Mountain Parks area, posters, and a mini website at www.marthashelihikes.com. The first season is already a success!

Sunterra ROOTS
The Sunterra ROOTS program is a commitment to people and the environment. They have partnered with Inn from the Cold (Calgary’s first emergency family shelter), Adopt a Family and Edmonton's Food Bank. Sunterra Markets throughout Calgary and Edmonton collect donations with their food bins.

Bicycle Café
An Apache helicopter was chosen for the logo of the Bicycle Café. Why? For some unknown primordial reason, the target audience – young men – all love helicopters. The logo is used throughout the two stores in Canmore and Kamloops on Café products, hang tags, clothing, branded bicycles, water bottles and signage. Within a few years of launching, the Café brand has become well known throughout the bicycle community in western Canada. www.bicyclecafe.com

 

Riverstone Insurance
An insurance company that was three generations old needed a new name and look to match the changing community of the Bow Valley. The identity includes outdoor signage and a website that will be launching soon.

Blender Films
Blender Films needed a new visual identity. Based on the inspiration of the classic olive green blender from the 70's, we came up with this mix.

Bragg Creek Outfitters
Rafting, mountain biking and hiking — this outfitting company guides trips in the foothills of the Rockies. They treat their guests with classic hospitality.
