The Canadian Canoe Museum’s new logo pays tribute to the pictograph (mazinaawbikinigin) that inspired the Museum’s original logo, which is located on a rock face at Pictured Lake within the traditional territory of Fort William First Nations. Our new logo features a rock face icon with a ridged top inspired by the Canadian Shield, and waves or snow drifts along the bottom, with the pictograph in the middle.
This design honours the relationship between the Museum, the original pictograph, and the territory on which it lives, as well as the Indigenous origins of the canoe. It is also a beautiful visual representation of the Museum’s vision to connect people to the land, water, canoe, and each other.
Designed in Peterborough and made in Canada.
