ok i'm confused now, winkcreative takes credit, and now some entrepreneur.... the latter makes sense as it truly looks like someone with no design experience more than canadian magazine publishing did this.
The design firm is based in London and Zurich, has offices in other centres including Toronto. Their founder and current Chairman/CEO was born in Winnipeg, but no longer resides there - because c'mon, there are only so many ways to design a parka.

His credentials certainly seem valid, but to call the firm 'Canadian' is a bit of a stretch. As is evoking the image of our landscape and birdlife with a colour palette of black & white.
no i don't, but i thought the 67 are getting phased out, so assuming that repainting would be pointless\
I think that's a safe assumption.
