About

The Canadian Karting Championship (CKC) is Canada’s national karting title event — a premier, multi-day competition where the country’s top drivers compete for national honours. The championship plays a critical role in the development pathway for Canadian talent, serving as a gateway to international opportunities in karting and the transition into cars. The CKC identity was designed with both impact and flexibility in its DNA. The system is anchored by a custom typeface, inspired by the geometry and flow of racetrack design, expressing speed, precision, and motion. The logo system was developed as a responsive identity, ranging from a full version featuring a bespoke kart racer illustration to a streamlined shield for smaller applications. Built-in adaptability allows the mark to evolve year after year, seamlessly integrating sponsor logos and annual event dates.

Quote

“Beyond the technical execution, the strategic intent of the identity was equally important, created to resonate with young drivers and their families, offering a mark with genuine style and a clear “cool factor.” At the same time, it provides event organizers with a professional, versatile identity that elevates the championship’s presence and attracts new sponsors. Above all, the design reflects the passion, energy, and community spirit that define Canadian karting and make it such a vital part of the motorsport landscape.”
