Maxon has rebranded its software bundle, Maxon One (think Adobe’s Creative Cloud). Among the software applications – focused on filmmaking and animation – are Cinema 4D, Redshift, ZBrush, Red Giant, Universe, and Forger. Welcome to the 21st century, though not necessarily 2025.

DSW, Designer Shoe Warehouse, the discount shoe outlet with stores in the US and Canada, has rebranded with an updated logo. #DSW

Rebrands to make you smile. Or cry.
Several major companies have rebranded over the past few months, and the results will make you smile or cry. Among the companies that have rebranded are #Walmart, #Amazon, #MSNBC, and #CrackerBarrel. Read more: methodbranding.com/rebrands-to-...

MSNC is being rebranded as MS NOW, in a move to distance itself from NBCUniversal. The cable network, along with other brands, is being spun out from the parent into a new company, Versant. The spinoff is expected to be completed by the end of the year. #MSNBC #Versant #MSNOW #NBCU

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s company, The Really Useful Group, has been renamed as LW Entertainment. It’s “really” too bad they could not have replaced the logo with something as creative as their Useful symbol. It's unfortunate that the new logo is generic and could just as well have been used for a bank.

The world doesn't stop, even though Friday afternoons are spent going up to the cottage for the weekend, or for a week or longer. If you need help with a branding issue, contact me.

Photos from last week’s table reading of my play, The Risk of Earthquakes at Montreal's Segal Centre. The play takes place 20 yrs after WWII, showing the resilience of Holocaust survivors, but also their struggles with grief, loss, and guilt, and the impact their experiences have on their children.

All the coverage of the passing of Pope Francis reminded me of the symbol I designed a long time ago for the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, to commemorate the first visit of Pope John Paul II to Canada. (Designed and drawn by hand)

To all who celebrate, wishing you a Happy Easter.

America First/Canada First. Tweedle dee, tweedle dum(b).

Elbows up, Canada!

It's that time of the year again. #Spring #CanadaStrong

Former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, 91 years old, can still electrify the country: "From one old guy to another old guy, stop this nonsense.”

"No one in Canada should ever be afraid to call themselves a Zionist. I am a Zionist." An important and moving address yesterday by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the National Forum on Combatting Antisemitism. Click on the link: www.youtube.com/live/eaCiJr2...

Is Israel about to get the Zelenskyy treatment?

Ontario's liquor store website is down as US products are removed from sale, the result of the Trump trade war against Canada.

Donald Trump will impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico next week for no reason other than to demonstrate that he can – that he's "tough." Just like a schoolyard bully, but with global implications.

Trump wants Canada’s Keystone XL oil pipeline built ‘now’ U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday he wanted to revive the Keystone XL oil pipeline, even though its developer has already walked away from the project.

Donlad Trump wants the XL Pipeline built. Does he not realize that had it been built, even more Canadian oil would have been exported to the US, increasing the trade deficit that he's complaining about? Makes no sense.

Trump appears to be confirming all the worst predictions of what his second term would bring…and worse.

Canada has been convulsed by the Donald Trump tariff announcements. Click on the link for my blog post that examines a relevant issue arising from the Trump edicts: what are the impacts on branding? methodbranding.com/oh-canada/ #Canada #Canadaproud #UStariffs #tradewar #buycanadian

Oops. What could go wrong?

Canada celebrates the 60th anniversary of its Maple Leaf flag on Saturday. Thirty years ago, I was honoured to design a stamp for Canada Post, marking the 30th anniversary.

With all the executive orders Donald Trump is signing, it is clear who his presidency is modeled after. "So let it be written, so let it be done."
