Michael Haddad’s series of mid-century Canada icons poster began as a personal project, in which he explored designing a mid-century modern icon for each of Canada’s thirteen provinces. What a pleasant surprise it went viral and was received very well by people asking where they could by prints.

Project Description
A while back I did a personal exercise: An icon for each of Canada's provinces and territories in the style of mid-century/corporate/modern logos (the project was featured on Quipsologies back in January). There was quite a response, and many humanoids were requesting prints... so here they are!It's a 1 colour letterpress poster with a blind emboss of my personal monogram.

Production Lesson(s)
A personal project that ended up having legs. It was a very fulfilling experience overall.
