This film was a fascinating look at Canadian Graphic Design during the period of Expo67 and thereafter. It tied in the politics of the period, and the major designers involved. We are shown how they came up with the logos for Canada's leading corporations/events. First hand interviews with the designers give us their perspective on how they viewed their task. This could be a Bauhaus like simplification or a nature oriented completely non geometric approach. A wonderful combination of art, education, history and documentary film.

Very interesting history of Canadian design
nick_bedell13 July 2018
Inspiring and intelligent discussion of commercial art, design aesthetics, and the history of Canada and it's people. Well-crafted narrative supported with an amazing musical score, and of course, it's peppered throughout with the brilliant visual designs the doc is built around.
