In reaction to five proposed logos for Canada’s 150th birthday, Canadian Designer Ibraheem Youssef, who was appalled at the quality of the proposed logo, took it upon himself to rally other Canadian designers to come up with something better.

To showcase the work, Youssef launched The150Logo to rally support and plead the country not to go down the path of mediocrity.

We’re pretty sure anyone who looks at the official proposed logos versus those highlighted on The150Logo will clearly see how bad the official ones are and how much better Youssef’s are.
