Winnipeg, Manitoba

This past month we’ve had the opportunity to update the Beach Safety Program Signage for Manitoba Conservation. Six years ago (when we initially researched and developed a comprehensive set of Beach Safety icons and signage templates for the province) no international standards for pictograms and signage existed—that changed last year with the publication of ISO 20712-1:2008, which we have now incorporated in the entire program (including a change of all Caution/Hazard signs to a triangular shape, standardization of all Prohibition signs, and addition of a new beach safety [status] flag).

Our good friends (and co-design worldwide partners) at Ion Branding + Design are celebrating their 20th Anniversary today… wish we could be there to raise a glass with you—but we’ll do so from afar… Cheers!

Ion sent out cool ‘20!’ coasters as their party invitations.

We’ve recently had the pleasure to work with Gregor Brandt and Janice Liwanag again (they’re old climbing friends of Rob’s) on the updating of corporate identification, stationery, and the design of “look and feel” for a new website for The Marionette Group, a consultancy offering software development, project management, and technical documentation services to technology innovators in the science and engineering industry. Visit their new website (coded by Gregor himself) here.
