The 2015 Table Tennis Championship Logo
The
logo was created from the representation of a half racquet, cut at an
angle, with the image of multi-coloured flames emerging from a cauldron
to form a maple leaf. The cauldron
directly
references the notion of large-scale sporting events (Olympic Games,
Commonwealth or Quebec Games, etc.). It symbolizes high-level
competition.
From
a more strategic standpoint and as part of the Canadian Championship,
we wanted to create a powerful image that would evoke the ideas of table
tennis, of a Canadian championship and of vitality at a single glance,
explained Jacques Picard of the Zou!com Agency, in Trois-Rivières.
In
addition to forming a maple leaf, the flames represent passion for the
sport. The different colours that make up the leaf recall the wide
cultural diversity that characterizes table tennis enthusiasts.
