hcma is pleased that our Director of Creative Services, Johnathon Strebly, in his role as the President of the Graphic Designers of Canada, will be working with the City of Vancouver to offer insight on their new wordmark and to convene a conversation as to how City Hall can better support Vancouver's design industry.

"By listening, engaging, and speaking to our community, the value of design as an inclusive strategic process is better appreciated and understood. We look forward to working with the city on the evolution of the brand, and how City Hall can better support Vancouver's design industry," says Johnathon Strebly.
