On February 21st, 2019, Diving Plongeon Canada (DPC), proudly sponsored by YUL Condominiums, unveiled the federation’s new brand identity, which expresses itself through the bilingual tagline “WE FLY | PLUS HAUT”. The logo, which continues to feature the iconic maple leaf, was inspired by the peregrine falcon.
“Canadian divers are largely recognized for their incredible athletic performances and spectacular international results for decades now. With just eighteen months left before the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, it was essential for us to adopt a visual identity that would reflect the accomplishments of our team and federation,” says Penny Joyce, Chief Operating Officer at DPC.
DPC also took the opportunity to announce the renewal of their partnership with Brivia Group, a Montreal-based real estate developer. After the initial one-year national team sponsorship through their downtown project YUL Condominiums in 2018, Brivia Group decided to extend their support through to and beyond the 2020 Olympic Games.
“We look forward to working closely with Diving Plongeon Canada for another great three years. We are honoured to have the opportunity to contribute to the Canadian Diving Team to go further and reach new heights on the international stage,” says Kheng Ly, CEO and President of Brivia Group.
