Girl Guides of Canada 100th Anniversary Logo by AmoebaCorp

AmoebaCorp set out to create a brand for Girl Guides of Canada that would celebrate the century-long tradition of building self esteem through positive experiences and stewardship without alienating an increasingly diverse group of young women.

Description
The amalgam logo focuses on the joy of guiding using a contemporary visual language that is culturally neutral and forward-looking enough to be compelling for a younger demographic. When attempting to meet the challenge of creating an appropriately-considered messaging strategy, many well-intentioned organizations resort to tokenism which can belie a message. Instead, Girl Guides of Canada opted for meaningful representation in all communications and an identity system rooted in a culturally-neutral vernacular.
