Canada's Top Ten Most Iconic Brands

...as voted by Canadians in Brand Finance's survey:

10. CN Tower

I'm struggling with this one. Although it's certainly iconic, I have a hard time considering the CN Tower a "brand"... but I suppose you could make the argument depending on the criteria.

9. Via Rail

8. Petro Canada

7. Montreal Canadiens

6. Toronto Maple Leafs

5. Air Canada

4. CBC

3. Tim Hortons

2. Canadian Tire

and the winner is...

1. Canada Post

A pretty good list that I mostly would agree with. I'm sure you could have some good discussions over the order of the top five, but all in all, I think they got it right. I also think it's so awesome that two of the top brands are hockey teams! Truly Canadian!

Here's the complete chart of the top 25:

ALC rebrand

Anyone else notice the new logo lately?



What a huge improvement to what ALC employees used to refer to as "the bug" logo (don't ask).

Fine work by the folks at Revolve.

Very well done.

Check out this amazing Interactive Music Video. Gorgeous work.

Nice song too (although I have no clue what she's saying).

And you thought the "Burger King" was creepy.

Here it is... new Pizza Hut rebrand.



Not sure of what kind of crazy rationale they had for it, but it makes for an obvious choice of spokesperson...

Cassette Tape Art

Years after we all stopped using them to play games on our Vic 20's and even music in our Walkmans (or is that Walkmen?) someone has finally found a creative use of the good ol' cassette tape.

He's Barack Obama!!!
