What's up with the unicycle?
With a name like circus all sorts of visuals come to mind. Most of them were far too obvious or just way too, well, circusy! We wanted an icon that captured our brand name as well as our brand essence. Something that reflected our commitment to outperform – like the unicycle. It’s uncomplicated but requires a great deal of talent, skill, courage and balance. It’s nimble and it’s fun. Just like circus.
Walking the walk
circus is dedicated to improving our sustainability business practices. We recycle and reuse. When renovating our offices we sought out environmentally friendly products, low emission lighting and recycled materials. Our new location offers public transit options, bike racks and the ability to use good old fashion people power to visit shops and restaurants.
We believe in giving back. We are active supporters of the local Food Bank and contribute to several nonprofit organizations on a regular basis.
Outperform
Our work regularly earns recognition from national and international marketing and design competitions. We are always thrilled when we win but outperforming for our clients and seeing our clients outperform in turn is what truly drives us.
