2011 Canada Games athlete cutouts
Posted by Dean Gallant in 2011 Canada Games, recent work, various on February 19th, 2010
I designed some freestanding athlete cutouts for the Halifax 2011 Canada Games. These were created for the volunteer kick-off and one year to go countdown celebrations over the last week. We produced ten each of the three versions. The gold signs are attached by velcro so they can be easily replaced with current, relevant messaging.

Advocate did the printing & production and I think they look great. The cut was achieved with a laser-guided drill over a path I defined (similar to a die cut job). A first for me.
The cutouts were seen all over town, at the World Trade Centre, in the Scotia Square food court, the ferry terminals & malls. And they’ll be used over the next year at our various public events and—of course—during the Games next winter.

This is the very beginning of an exciting new project. The old lighthouse in Souris, PEI (currently unused) has been renovated by the local harbour authority and will be re-opened this summer as an interpretive centre & gift/craft shop. I’ve been hired to work on the identity, signage, advertising & what I’m most excited about—the interpretation! The plan is to have exterior reading signs & an exhibit room on the top floor with displays, video, artifacts & stories.
Anyone who knows me knows that I love interpretive signs so you can understand my excitement.

I’ve been working on a new logo/identity for SES Consulting along with Blue Tree Media who are doing the web work. It was a fairly involved design process and SES had a lot of input into this final design. The intention was to create a clean, strong, simple, geometric design with bold, modern colours. We went through many revisions and paid particular attention to the abstract spark symbol which can be interpreted in both senses of a spark of electricity/energy and the spark of an idea.
