CINEPLEX®
BRAND REFRESH

OBJECTIVE

After years of adding programs and complicating the lookfeel, Cineplex was at a point where they needed to simplify and reign in the brand guidelines. A streamlined refresh was needed to take control of the brand's equity in the Canadian market, and so our team embarked on a weeks-long exploration into what the new Cineplex would look like.

SOLUTION

We identified several areas that needed refinement; the logo needed modularity and flexibility, the palette needed paring down, the font system needed to be clearly defined. Each subbrand within the Cineplex ecosystem was using a different style and it was clear that they all needed to come into alignment.

RESULT

A new fully fleshed out brand deck, equipped with a new font system, icons, illustration style, and everything else required to ensure the brand retained consistency and stayed true to it's iconic roots.

Hello! I’m an art director and designer based in Toronto’s west end.

With experience across both in-house and agency teams, I specialize in point-of-sale marketing, with a strong focus on consumer packaged goods and food, spanning both QSR, CPG, and retail environments. I’ve partnered directly with major national brands including President’s Choice®, no name®, PC Financial®, Tim Hortons®, Cineplex®, and Burger King®, helping bring campaigns and in-store experiences to life from concept through execution.

I hold an Honours BFA from the University of Toronto and a BA from Sheridan College (2012), where I studied across a range of disciplines including printmaking, photography, and design. My work is informed not only by trends within the design world, but by artists across mediums, offering insight into how tastes and cultural values evolve over time.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me baking, watching films, or playing piano. I’m known to show up with baked goods to the office (or even at the bar). You can find more of my baking projects on Instagram at @fables_to! 

Thanks for reading!
