Roch’s classic identity for the National Arts Centre in Ottawa consists of a single line forming 3 interlocking hexagons. The design, referred to as a ‘signet’, reflects the hexagonal architecture of the theatre centre itself, and the 3 interlocking forms represent the three theaters as well as the three branches of performance art – music, drama and dance.
