We created a casual and neighbourly brand targeted towards its audience of mostly small-scale accounting firms, from rural Alberta to urban Toronto. The illustrations and bright colours bring new life to the company's well-known mascots "Joe" and "Jill". The result is a successful display of Cantax's down-to-earth, smart and charming personality.

We were commissioned to design a brochure to showcase the success of the program, as a tool to apply for government funding. Emphasis on vital statistics and bold imagery illustrate the contrast between the urgency of the issue and the benefits of HMP's implementation across Ontario. Studio: Genesys Creative
