Cyrmac Plastics is a Canadian materials brand whose logo was designed by Raymond Bellemare in 1970. The mark is catalogued among Bellemare’s graphic design work from the 1960s and 1970s, a period when he created numerous logos and brand images for Canadian clients.[1]
Design and History
Raymond Bellemare studied graphic design at the École des beaux-arts de Montréal, graduating in 1962, and went on to create posters, logos and brand images from the 1960s onward.[2] In 1971 he founded his own firm, Raymond Bellemare Designers inc.[2] The Cyrmac Plastics symbol dates to 1970, the year before he established that studio.[1]
The logo is described as a negative space design with a three-dimensional shape, and it is grouped with other Canadian marks from the same era.[1] Beyond these formal characteristics, no documented account of the mark’s intended symbolism or its use by the company has been located in available sources.
Meaning and Symbolism
No primary or archival source has been found that explains the intended meaning of the Cyrmac Plastics symbol. The logo is documented only as a 1970 design by Bellemare employing negative space and a three-dimensional form.[1] Any interpretation of the mark’s significance would be speculative.
