The Big 30!

January 5th, 2009

It's finally here - the big 30. Yes on January 1st, 2009, Burlington's Sound of Music Festival officially turned 30 years old! It's time to party!! And what a fantastic party of fun, music and excitement do we have planned for this year's Festival!

To kick things off we wanted to celebrate with a new look and feel not only for our logo, but our website as well. After all who doesn't deserve a new, party outfit after all these years?

For our logo we went to Burlington's own Jason Bouwman from Compass Creative. Jason designed the just recently released 2009 Special Edition Proof Silver Dollar for the Royal Canadian Mint. (He also designed the commemorative coin for the Royal Canadian Mint's 100th anniversary).

Jason and his crew did exhaustive research on what other festivals have done to create a unique image of what they were all about, and then applied it to our needs. His result is below.

This image was designed to celebrate music, our 30th anniversary, and provide a visualization of the different types of elements that make up our unique Festival in Burlington. I think he did a great job!!

Once we had a new logo we wanted a new website to showcase our Festival even more. Here we turned to LinxSmart for their brilliant design, ideas and execution in providing a site that was not only exciting and visually pleasing, but even easier to navigate. The end result is before you now:)

All in all I think this "new look" is amazing! But what do you think? Really. Let us know - we would love to hear from you with your comments.

You can easily reply to this post. And while you are at it make sure you subscribe to our RSS feed. We will keep you informed with all the exciting news, surprises and music line up as they become available.

And remember to keep June 18 to 21st open for the Festival itself. We promise a Festival to remember!
