Anni & Sammi vehicle wrap

Anni & Sammi—mascots for the Halifax 2011 Canada Games—are riding in style with their very own RV to take them from venue to venue during the Games this February.
We designed this vehicle wrap artwork for the RV to mirror the look of their website: annisammi2011.ca which I’ve described in an earlier post.
The vinyl wrap was printed and applied by Atlantic Digital.

2011 Canada Games – luggage tags
Posted by Dean Gallant in 2011 Canada Games, recent work, various on December 29th, 2010
Doing design work for the Halifax 2011 Canada Games I’ve been fortunate to experience a very wide and unique array of projects—everything from billboards to baggage tags. And, often it’s the “little things” that I’m excited about.
For these Games, we produced a variety of custom luggage tags for the traveling athletes, contingents and VIPs. Individual tags were designed and produced for each provinces and territory, as well as sport specific tags to identify sport equipment. In all that’s over 100 variations.
These tags had the dual purpose of holding the contact information of the individual owner, and for rapid identification for luggage sorting at the Halifax airport—where the luggage will be diverted directly to the Athletes’ Village or to the sport specific venues as necessary. Also, it’s typically one of many souvenir pieces the Athletes will hold on to.
The tags were produced in a durable plastic with a transparent sleeve on the reverse to slip in the contact info card.

Colchester Active Transportation Week
Posted by Dean Gallant in banners, recent work on August 22nd, 2010
This is a twenty foot long street banner for Move On Colchester Active Transportation Week. They wanted something they could reuse every year, without specific dates. We settled on sort of a variation or expansion of the Move On Colchester logo, which I designed in September 2009.

New logo design for “Move On Colchester”. A community-based campaign aimed at advancing the wider use of active transportation in the Colchester region. Of the four options I gave them, they chose my preference and I’m very pleased with the final result.

Move On Colchester Logo
Some notes from the design pitch:
- Displaying a range of ages & demographics drives the message of broad community inclusiveness.
- Consistent movement from left to right is symbolic of forward momentum or achieving progress.
- Multiple colours of the individuals gives the impression of multiculturalism, while being non-specific.
- Vivid red is suggestive of movement, passion or a zest for life.
