BmDodo Strategic Design is among an elite group to be featured in a 2007 calendar celebrating the work of Ontario’s top designers.

For the second straight year, Registered Graphic Designers of Ontario has recognized BmDodo Strategic Design for excellence and chosen a logo created by the firm to appear in its calendar showcasing the most innovative, attractive and effective commercial logos created in Ontario in 2006.

“It’s an incredible feeling to be chosen for a calendar like this two years in a row,” says BM Dodo President Brian Dodo. “We don’t necessarily design to win awards. We just try to design to meet the needs of our clients.”

The logo, designed for elorin, the Eastern Lake Ontario Regional Innovation Network, was chosen from a pool of thousands of submissions.

“We went through a fairly lengthy process to come up with a logo that really shows what elorin is all about,” says elorin Senior Manager John Di Paolo. Dodo and his team worked closely with Kingston-based Boom Strategy to design elorin’s corporate identity. “They did a really good job of taking our idea and translating it into a great logo. They took a simple concept and turned it into an exciting and meaningful design.”

Copies of the calendar will be available through the Registered Graphic Designers of Ontario website, www.rdgontario.com.
