Designed to represent the value of design in a project calculated by its impact on communication, culture and commerce. The symbol was recently launched with the Gibson typeface (the first time that the symbol has appeared in a font set).

Yes, This was a joint effort by Rethink, the ICOGRADA and the GDC – Graphic Designers of Canada. The symbol represents the value of design in culture and commerce and is concidered open source for everyone to use freely.
