Centennial
Burton Kramer / Expo 67
Design: Burton Kramer (Paul Arthur & Associates Ltd)
Client: Expo 67
Date: 1966
The task of designing the complete way-finding signage system for Expo 67 in Montreal was entrusted by the Canadian Corporation for the 1967 World Exhibition to Paul Arthur & Associates Ltd. It was the first time that an entire graphic programme of official and commercial signage on such an immense scale – for the equivalent of a thousand-acre city – had ever been planned in advance as a modular system and integrated into a master planning concept.
Pictograms of animals in black silhouette were used to identify the various areas of the two mammoth parking lots, each of which accommodated about 12,000 cars.

Released as a souvenir of the Canadian Centennial this coin celebrates the treaties and land settlements created by the Canadian Government. Still in serious dispute, this issue is a hot topic and one that this medal does little to honour.
