Calgary Chamber

I have designed the items below while working at Appetite. Images are presented courtesy of Appetite.

The Calgary (Alberta, Canada) Chamber of Commerce has been the city’s main connector of people, ideas, businesses and stories for more than 120 years. Appetite was responsible for updating the Chamber’s purpose, personality and brand strategy, together with a thorough redesign of their identity, all relying on the core concept, “beyond membership… belong”.

The new symbol expresses the Chamber’s values and strengths, which come from its diversity and members’ connectivity.

I was responsible for designing most of the brand’s identity and materials. An extensive set of brand guidelines was developed, explaining all the aspects of the Chamber’s new identity, how they work in various situations, and showcasing most of the materials designed so far.

The visual language

A flexible visual system based on both logo elements and a dynamic graphic device that can be adapted according to needs.

Stationery

By only using the main brand colours, the stationery items maintain a corporate, business feel

Play with the Presidents is an annual golf networking event organised by the Calgary Chamber. I designed the new logo and developed the campaign concept and materials, based on the dual purpose of the event, golf and business.
