Compass Rose

Finding the Common Good

Compass Rose is a growing Public Affairs and Government Relations firm situated in Ottawa, the heart of Canada’s federal government. Compass Rose helps companies and organizations find the common good. By assembling and understanding voices, viewpoints, and messages, their clients uncover the best policy directions; not only for their organizations, but for all Canadians.

The brand identity we developed for Compass Rose reflects this attitude. We’ve brought together visual elements from the natural and nautical world to create a balanced and distinct mark that denotes reliability and quality in the field of government relations.

Logo

The future is a vista of threats and possibilities. Together, alongside their clients Compass Rose charts a path toward better policy for all Canadians.

The primary logo symbolizes the trust Compass Rose’s clients put in them to act as guides through a fraught policy landscape. The visual combines elements of a rose, compass, ship, and the challenge that comes with piloting passageways of policy creation.

Colour

An evocative colour palette draws from the views of parliament from the Compass Rose office.

The selected brand colours are inspired by the materiality of the parliamentary precinct. The primary colour at the heart of the brand identity is “Commons Green” chosen to represent the lawn of parliament where all Canadians are welcome.
