Design Canada is a 2018 Canadian documentary by Vancouver-based designer Greg Durrell and produced by Greg Durrell of Hulse&Durrell, Vancouver; and Jessica Edwards and Gary Hustwit of Film First in Brooklyn, New York,[1] telling the "untold story of the images that shaped Canada's identity". It explores a host of cutting-edge Canadian graphic designers creating a host of enduring symbols that helped create and define modern Canada, including the Canadian flag, the CBC icon, the CN Rail logo, the Centennial maple leaf, the Roots beaver, the Canada wordmark, and emblems for Montreal's Expo 67 and Montreal 1976 Summer Olympics,[1][2] in what is described as the Golden Age of Canadian graphic design.[3][4] It highlights some of the remarkable works of, among others, Stuart Ash, Julien Hébert, Burton Kramer, Heather Cooper, Rolf Harder, and Georges Huel. Host George Stroumboulopoulos was included for insights. The Toronto designer John Pylypczak summarized the idea of iconic Canadian design by asking: "Did Canadians design these symbols, or did these symbols, in fact, design Canada?"[4] A Kickstarter fundraising effort in 2017[1] raised about $120,000 for the project, which failed to win funding from film-development agencies in Canada.[2]
