New factsheet for Peacebuild on Canada's declining contribution to UN Peacekeeping Operations
We have just finished a project with Peacebuild’s Peace Operations Working Group to produce an illustrative factsheet on Canada’s declining contribution to UN Peacekeeping. Everyone is very happy with the result.
The POWG’s coordinator and communications director (and Rideau Institute alumnus) Dominic Leger came to us with a terrific concept: educate people about the current state of Canada’s peacekeeping through colourful charts and graphs.
Working with our researcher Bill Robinson and senior advisor Prof. Walter Dorn, along with our designer Jenny Walker of JWalkerDesign, we delivered the bilingual factsheet to Peacebuild’s POWG for its upcoming campaign. Congratulations Peacebuild.

Our designer, Jenny Walker, does very nice work with logos.
We recently took a small project to help a fledgling organization get off the ground, and our first task was to design a new logo. The group is based upon a novel idea: get as many recipients of the Order of Canada as possible to endorse a call for a ban on nuclear weapons (through a convention, or treaty). They have nearly 400 members now.
We decided to go with a simple logo that avoided using the typical dove or peace symbol, and instead echoed the Order of Canada itself. The result is absolutely elegant, where Jenny captures of the shape of the medallion, but uses the ribbon to suggest a bird in flight – maybe even a dove.
