[!cirque-logo.jpg](http://canadiandesignresource.ca/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/cirque-logo.jpg) We’re not certain when this logo was designed or by whom, but though it is appropriately “circus-y”, it also feels a bit dated. However, the typeface is timeless and simple, with just the stylized Q which somehow works perfectly to describe this wonder of a Canadian institution. Logo aside, Cirque has been an enormous creative (and business) success story for this country. [Founded in 1984, the organization is now touring over 20 shows, in more than 50 countries worldwide and as of last year had performed before more than 9.5 million spectators.](http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/CirqueDuSoleil/en/default.htm#) Talk about good design!
