We designed and implemented the new visual brand identity design and logo nomenclature for the Chartered Professional Accountant designation that supports the unique value proposition of the unification of the three legacy accounting designations (CA, CMA and CGA) under a common banner by involving the 38 to 40 different regional bodies in the creation of the new identity.

Working with the CPA Brand Committee, national leaders, internal design team as well as external consultants, a new identity was designed conveying the national pride of the new CPA Canada designation. We developed the CPA Brand Standards and Guidelines to provide the blueprint for all design work used by design partners internally (nationally and provincially) to create new templates and rebrand existing documents. Ensuring the visual identity is used throughout the organization in a comprehensive and cohesive fashion, as applied to print, advertising, and digital applications.

• This project demonstrates our firm’s recognition in meeting
  the client’s delivery, budget requirements, AODA compliance and multiple languages.
• We understand brand creation and the value of maintaining brand design consistency on a variety of applications.
• We have a proven track record for successful delivery of high-profile, national-scope projects, in which our senior partners are fully involved.
• We have demonstrated relevant experience in simplifying complex information and expressing the identity dynamically across print and digital platforms.
