Located in the Cavalier Building of Halifax Citadel National Historic Site, the Army Museum has fascinated and inspired thousands visitors with an extensive collection of Haligonian, Nova Scotian, and Canadian militaria.
The visual identity and implementation for the Army Museum Halifax Citadel references
the 5th Canadian Division’s two-inch-by-three regimental wool shoulder-patch.

During the two World Wars, soldiers wore wool badges to identify their division. The 5th Canadian Division of Atlantic Canada recently reinstated the patch, in part to recognize those who served—an apt metaphor for the Army Museum’s new visual identity. From the two-inch-by-three-inch proportion to the maroon colour, the symbol is recognizable for many who have or continue to serve. The ‘ribbon’ element of the Capital ‘M’ becomes an important graphic motif.
Two logos were developed, one for each official language. We also vectorized and reworked existing artwork to create a revised AMHC crest.
The logo was applied to various products, from postcards and rack-cards, to a self-directed walking tour program for the many World War l points of interest located in and around Halifax.
We worked with the Army Museum Halifax Citadel to develop, design, and deploy a new AMHC website.
