2014 · CBU Students’ Union Logo
Online · Print Material · Products
Designed for the Cape Breton University Students’ Union as part of a re-brand in 2014, this logo included the basic shield element from the previous logo placed within an off-centre square in a special Pantone orange selected for use as part of the brand identify for the organisation. The logo is placed over sans-serif font utilising colour and grey to create a strong focus on the organisation’s primary role as a student union.
The logo was used online and in print by the organisation, as well as on various promotional products sold and distributed by the Union.
The re-brand included subsidiary logos for each of the Union’s subsidiary organisations such as the Pride and Ally Centre and The Women’s Centre, as well as a flag to be flown from the Union building facade.

The stamp design was distributed by the Letter Writers Alliance for free use by members.

2024 · Mader (Downingfield) Coat of Arms
Digital and Print Stationery
I created a coat of arms for my family in April 2024.
The two supporters represent our early North American pilgrim and Scottish heritage respectively. The shield contains two stars representing the joining of the Ramsay and Mader families and the pattern represents Black Brook, which flows through our property and is also a nod to the European Mader coat of arms, alongside the cherry and wheat sheaf elements.
The arms are surmounted by a Canada goose, representing the nearly 300 years that Maders have been present in Nova Scotia.
A modified version with the shield defaced by the Downingfield ‘DF’ monogram emblem is used for Downingfield Press Proprietary Limited, which was founded at and named after Downingfield House, the residence of the Mader family.
These arms were assumed in accordance with Australian law, as clarified in the Commonwealth Hansard.
