Retail Design System – The Mask
Inspired by the facial markings of Canada’s indigenous birds, as well as by wildlife representations found in early native culture. The clean shape of The Mask duplicates the shape of the front windows and celebrates the flight deck. It’s primary role is to capture the experience of travel in creative. Across all touch points, this serves as a natural extension of the Air Canada brand. Echoing an aircraft’s windshield, it represents the spirit of the airline: welcoming and insightful. It also embodies Air Canada’s commitment to excellence.
