Karacters created this variation of the BC Hydro logo for the companies long running conservation campaign – nice emphasis on the word smart.
We’re still looking for info on BC Hydro’s original logo… anyone know who designed this one? – http://rsrce.ca/n/1v

This publication was designed to educate Canadian manufacturers about industrial design and encourage the development of more competitive products. Not sure that the black & acid yellow photos do much to show off the products, but the publication itself is beautiful and the text (and layouts) are great. My favorite is, “It’s the cake not the icing.”… OK, sometimes it’s both.

Numbers of Canada Pin Set

Numbers are far beyond their humble display of measurements. They symbolize, represent, and commemorate our past, present, and future. Numbers of Canada pay homage to the significant figures, events, and milestones of Canadian history.

Walrus Magazine Cover Illustration
Design: Marian Bantjes
Client: Walrus Magazine
Date: 2009
“…They wanted me to illustrate the words “We’re Sorry” relating to a story about the Canadian propensity to apologize, and the troubles that ensue from public apologies for past national crimes. I had hoped to trick them into letting me draw snakes, but just as I was relishing the prospect of a triumphant coup in getting snakes on the cover of a magazine, they nixed that idea. Disappointed but not surprised, I switched to string … or the entanglement of yarn. I don’t think Brian thought I was serious when I suggested a fluffy kitten to go with it, but I was! Alas, no snakes, no kittens.”
