129 Canada Games Logo

Canada Games Logo

The new corporate logo design was created with a multi-purpose application in mind. The main colours involved are red, gold and black. The dynamic nature of the maple leaf has a fl ame-like quality to it and denotes action and energy. The gold ring encircling the maple leaf is symbolic of the provinces and territories coming together for the Games. The ring is also a sign of continuity, stability, and strength and the colour gold is representative of the quest for excellence.

The typeface chosen for the word mark is both elegant and strong. Its clean edges and classic styling allows for legibility as well as effective reproduction and has a classical quality that will endure the test of time.

The leaf in the ring should be strong enough to stand on its own and over time become recognized and associated with the Canada Games.

130 Team Sask Logo

Team Sask Logo

After almost two years of creative planning and intense deliberation The Saskatchewan Games Council is proud to fi nally present three new logos. These logos represent the devel- opment, athleticism and achievement of the Council and its two products the Saskatchewan Games and Team Sask. With the design of the new logos, the Council decided to modify the name Team Saskatchewan to Team Sask.

The Council designed the logos with the desire to brand itself and its products with a unifi ed visual identity. As you can see the Council, Team Sask and the Saskatchewan Games logos’ are connected by a unifying icon. This distinct icon will become visually recognizable and memorable to the public for many years to come.

The unifying icon in the Saskatchewan Games Council, Team Sask and the Saskatchewan Games Logos was created with a multi-purpose application in mind. The icon represents an athlete in motion, reaching toward success. The S portion of the icon works as the letter S in Saskatchewan but it also reminds the viewer of the S in sport.

The Team Sask logo differs slightly from the others as the unifying icon is gold and the words Team Sask are encircled in a green ring. The gold is representative of the Team Sask athlete’s pursuit of excellence in sport. The green ring symbolizes the continuity, stability and strength of Saskatchewan and its athletes.
