National Music Centre Project Update June 2010

As the architects finish up with schematic design, the marketing team is getting ready to unleash the new National Music Centre (NMC) brand. After extensive stakeholder consultation, Cantos and its branding consultant, Identica, have come up with a brand and visual language we feel capture the heart and soul of music and of the National Music Centre.

Cantos and NMC fans can sneak a peak at the new look during the Stampede this year at the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame July 9-20, 2010.

Keep your eyes open in future issues of our Music Matters monthly newsletter for the new brand’s debut!

Final design of the King Eddy Hotel / National Music Centre to be unveiled June 22 at a public event. See the link for details (not to be confused with the King Edward School Arts Incubator project in South Calgary - see elsewhere in the forum.
