Legion Refreshes Look
Legion Magazine has been publishing for 90 years…quite a milestone in Canadian Publishing.  To celebrate, the Publisher Jennifer Morse unleashed their amazing Art Director, Jason Duprau, to come up with a refreshed look. 

Here’s the inside scoop:

“We have come a long way. Legion Magazine is entering its 90th year of publishing and going strong. To mark our anniversary, we have refreshed the look and content of the magazine. More pages are being devoted to coverage of Canada’s military history and current issues related to veterans and defence. New sections have been added, including “Heroes and Villains”, “Artifacts” and “My Story”—we hope you enjoy them. Also during this anniversary year, we are taking a nostalgic look back at where we have come from in “Our back pages”. We have even improved the readability of the text itself. As always, we will continue to present rare archival and rich contemporary photography to complement the powerful stories our writers tell. And most importantly, we look forward to sharing more of this country’s history with you. We wish you good reading.”

Jennifer Morse General Manager “For our 90th Anniversary re-launch, we decided it was a perfect opportunity to give the magazine a complete visual overhaul. Our goal was to create a magazine that was both bold yet elegant and sophisticated. We started with the cover and development of a new wordmark for the magazine. We’ve committed to a clean, uncluttered cover, emphasizing iconic photography, bold cover lines and a clear and concise skybar. For the interior, a new grid was developed to allow more whitespace, which allows visuals much needed breathing room and increases readability. We selected a new family of fonts to achieve striking typography and developed various devices to pull readers from page to page.” Jason Duprau Art Director, Circulation and Production Manager
