In 2019 Trajectory began working with Parks Canada on behalf of World Heritage in Canada to elevate the full scope and importance of the World Heritage story in Canada. We introduced a brand identity to help reinforce the collective position as among the best of the world, part of an ensemble of properties whose significance is shared with iconic destinations such as Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and the pyramids of Egypt.
The brand program introduced a common design platform, marketing templates, a message bank and usage guidelines. We worked with a digital team to produce an interactive map featuring all World Heritage in Canada sites with photos, information and links, which was integrated into the Parks Canada website. This design platform had to be extremely flexible to accommodate each site’s unique branding as well as integrate guidelines governing usage of UNESCO brandmarks. The new brand platform delivers a unifying look that elevates the collective significance of these one-of-a-kind, globally recognized treasures and Canada’s commitment to protect them for generations to come.
