Bruins Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 it looks like a logo for a brand of pancake mix, what a way to celebrate ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS. yuggh But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

kroywen Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 So rather than going with some trillium-based design, they go with... this? Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the Liberal gov't ditched the ideal (rounded off) trillium logo years ago now, & we're stuck with the 3 ppl in a hot tub logo, which actually makes the trillium look like a prickly poison ivy. quick search you'll see both This 150 looks like a hipster logo for some wannabe underground indie film fest. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I didn't realize that Ontario was that old!! Granted its still not as old as Ronnie Wood but hey! The Catch of the Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroywen Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 The other thing, from a complete outsiders' perspective - I get celebrating the founding of Ontario in 1867, but isn't 1791 a bigger deal for Ontario itself (when Upper Canada was split off from Quebec)? That was the first time that English-speaking (and Protestant) colonists in the area had their own colony and their own legislature, and was the predecessor to modern-day Ontario.

IceCap Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 It is but it got re-unified with Lower Canada (Quebec) in 1841. It was only split off again in 1867, as a consequence of Confederation. Had there been an unbroken lineage from Upper Canada through to Ontario? Yeah, 1791 would be a more important date. That twenty-six year gap is what makes the 1867 date the important one though.

2001mark Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 I'll just stick this new pic in this thread... new TTC bus paint job, nicely aligning with their new LRTs... Apparently not costing more for riders because only for new busses &/or those already lined up for refittings. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Saw this for the first time during the World Juniors. I keep seeing a bicycle. Also, to my knowledge, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Québec don't have 150 logos. -------- I know we went over all the proposed logos in the Canada 150 thread, but holy crap did they pick literally the worst-possible design. I think this one's beautiful: Granted, you'd probably run into trouble when scaling it down, but I'd buy a t-shirt with that on it in a heartbeat. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

PrimalCookie Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 This one was my favorite. I love the hidden Canadian flag, although I would like it more if it actually spelled out "Canada". Plus, the designer said they loved the Whalers logo and was influenced by it, so even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
