The original MaRS blue 'globe' logo was retained, but deconstructed and given dimensionality to signal the different facets of MaRS — active creation, scientific rigour, inclusivity and collaboration.
These pieces were used to anchor a new identity system, whose vibrancy and variability matches the true dynamic nature of MaRS.
