pointA Launched!

For Smart Commute-NTV, Public Good has been for the last few months working with senior management and staff to develop the new name – pointA – logo and brand identity for this award-winning, non-profit Transportation Management Association committed to reducing traffic congestion, improving air quality and taking action on climate change.

Public Good is honoured to work with non-profit organizations addressing important issues that remain close to our heart. Re-branding can be a challenging, soul-searching exercise, but Smart Commute-NTV was enthusiastic, visionary and open to new ideas.

Lauren Bates, Executive Director: “You have all been wonderful to work with, responsive, and have expertly guided us through this entire process. It means a lot to our organization to make this transition successfully, and your process took a lot of pressure off!”

The Firefly Eco Cabin Project Kickstarter Campaign

Public Good fully supports this non-profit, community-based Kickstarter project at the Ross Creek Community Centre for the Arts, Canning, Nova Scotia.

The Firefly Eco Cabin Project is based on off-grid, sustainable building principles. The proposed cabin will incorporate recycled, environmentally-friendly construction materials and processes (passive solar, straw bale construction and rainwater harvesting) and will house artist residencies and show-case sustainable building construction to young campers, visitors, students and guests at the Centre’s summer camp arts program.

The Kickstarter campaign was successfully funded on July 24, 2018. Thanks to everyone who donated and help get the word out. Follow the construction progress on Instagram!

Office of the Fairness Commissioner

Over the last few months, Public Good has been working with Ontario’s Office of the Fairness Commissioner (OFC) on rebranding the organization. OFC ensures that the registration practices of regulated professions and compulsory trades are fair, transparent, objective and impartial for all qualified applicants regardless of where they received their credentials or education. The new brand launch will reflect the organization’s work and focus with a more contemporary look and approach. Look out for the launch next month!

Public Good recently completed the logo and branding for the 2017 Anti-Racism Conference held at Exhibition Place on December 1, 2017. Developed for the Anti-Racism Directorate of Ontario, this inaugural, annual conference was created to address systemic racism in government policy, legislation, programs and services. Providing a forum for different voices, community stakeholders and government agencies to discuss anti-racism strategies and solutions is an important first step in identifying and preventing systemic racism in Ontario. Public Good designed the conference identity logo and produced: branded collateral materials; presentation graphics; and directional signage for this landmark event.

The conference included opening remarks from Stacey LaForme, Chief, Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation and Michael Coteau, Minister Responsible for Anti-Racism and Minister of Children and Youth Services.
