25 years on, ROB magazine celebrates

I quite like the cover of the 25th anniversary issue of Report on Business magazine, out today. It was done as part of a competition between graphic design firms and advertising agencies, with the design by Andrew Cloutier of the Toronto boutique firm Zig winning out. It has 1,000 maple leaves, colour-coded by industry included in the listings.

Some of the very interesting runners-up, from the likes of Rethink (Vancouver) and Trigger (Calgary) and Paprika (Montreal) may be compared and contrasted by going to the magazine's website. Also to be found there is a reprise of some of the magazines' covers over the past 25 years. (This may inadvertently highlight the fact that the 'red box' logo was still very good, bold and distinctive and is sadly missed.) Readers can vote on their favourites.
