Icon's Canadian Connection

Icon, Europe's leading event branding specialist, has formed a joint venture with the branding and signage company, Banner Images from Ontario in Canada.

The new company will be known as Icon Banner Images International (IBI), bringing together Icon's branding management skills and expertise with Banner Images' extensive range of large-format display products.

The partnership will also serve to further strengthen Icon's already impressive Olympic credentials. In 2005 Icon completed all the branding and signage work on behalf of London's successful bid to stage the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and has more recently delivered a major programme helping Sochi to bid successfully for the right to stage the 2014 Winter and Paralympic Games.

So what are the benefits to existing clients?

Icon will now be able to offer an extended range of production services to all its client groups, spanning events, exhibitions, commercial property and corporate branding projects on a worldwide scale. This enhanced portfolio also offers extremely competitive prices for high-quality goods on a global basis.

Banner Images' clients will benefit from Icon's international project and event branding management and logistical skills, which have seen them deliver such high-profile and diverse projects as the 2006 FIFA World Cup and a Europe-wide re-branding programme for Savills Estate Agents.

All clients will receive an even greater menu of creativity, resource and global service capability.

Immediately the new partnership will use the combined experience of the two companies to target forthcoming major events and branding projects.
