Legion Changes Brand and Launches New Logo
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 07/19/13 -- With a bold, fresh new look and embracing the Poppy as a key symbol of its image, The Royal Canadian Legion has launched a new logo.
"Building on the recognition that many Canadians have in connecting the Legion with the Poppy, we are embracing the Poppy as the central point of our new logo," says Dominion President Comrade Gordon Moore. "This small change to our logo demonstrates a new forward motion in the Legion and takes the first steps to connect us to a new generation of Veterans, their families, and to a greater extent, all Canadians," adds Moore. "The Poppy also pays tribute to the traditions of the Legion being the guardian of Remembrance and reminds Canadians every day that we must all never forget those who have given so much so that we can enjoy our freedoms," says Moore.
The Legion is experiencing a time of rejuvenation, expanding its leadership role in both its marketing and communications practices and seeking to engage Canadians in new ways. This is a vibrant organization, one that has not only traditionally supported all Veterans through Remembrance and advocacy, but also provides outstanding contributions in thousands of communities across Canada. From supporting sports teams, delivering community services and programs, to being a community gathering point, the Legion is an icon in Canadian cities and towns. On a national level, the Legion plays a leading role in developing the next generation of Canadian Track & Field Olympians through its Youth Track & Field program.
The new logo will be featured on all Legion branded items, Legion correspondence, Branch materials and is a central part of the Legion Riders logo for all motorcycle units.
