In keeping with our unofficial tradition of moving offices every few years, it was that time again in 2026. Staying in the same building, Forge shifted our home a few units down at 171 East Liberty.

Our new office has an improved collaborative vibe, bigger windows in the studio and everyone’s favourite amenity—a sink! With this upgrade, we’re quietly hoping fewer team members will be taking forks home with them at the end of the day.

For those who have been with Forge for a while, these moves are a great opportunity to do a deep clean and prioritize what we really need. Hopefully, kilometres of Ethernet cables won’t become de rigueur again in 2027.

It was an all-hands-on-deck affair, with everyone pitching in to get the job done as painlessly as possible, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the new space.

Forge is pleased to continue our ongoing partnership with the Canadian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (CVCA) by launching the official site for this year’s Invest Conference.

Every year, this premier event travels to a new city with a fresh branded identity. For 2026, the conference is heading to Halifax, and to honour this maritime setting, the branding features a wave motif that flows throughout the digital experience.

Our goal was to evolve the platform while keeping the project lean and efficient. We focused on:

☑️ Extending Functionality: Building on the existing system to support new attendee needs.
☑️ Codebase Streamlining: Cleaning up the backend to ensure lightning-fast performance.
☑️ Feature Innovation: Adding new tools for 2026 without breaking the budget or the timeline.

Maintaining a balance between innovation and cost-effective is where the Forge team shines. Check out the new site at the link in bio!

Love in motion. 🌸 Our latest 12-screen installation at the Globe and Mail Centre explores abstract movement across the first 11 panels, which then resolve on the largest screen into recognizable, symbolic expressions of love, from a shared umbrella in the rain to a child’s first skate.

Using organic watercolour spills, the piece evokes the season’s mood through colour and atmosphere.

Designed in Photoshop and animated in collaboration with SharkTank Digital.

New Case Study Alert! We partnered with CVCA, the Canadian Venture Capital & Private Equity Association, to completely overhaul their digital platforms. To elevate the user experience, we reimagined three core digital properties: their main association website, their annual Invest Conference site(s), and the CVCA Central industry data hub. The result is a cohesive brand experience across all three domains, serving each audience and providing robust data visualization and CRM integrations. Plus, we’re proud to be their ongoing partner, providing continued maintenance and updates to ensure ongoing peak performance.

In 2012, Forge was challenged to implement a compelling and effective wayfinding solution on a restricted budget for Infrastructure Ontario’s headquarters at 222 Jarvis Street in Toronto.

As a provincial government office, meeting rooms were named after towns across Ontario, strengthening the building’s brand and creating memorable landmarks to help users find their way. The signage was carefully scaled to each space, with large-scale beacons in main public areas and smaller, more detailed wayfinding signs approaching the workspaces.

The result is an economical wayfinding solution that honours the building’s contemporary architecture with a cohesive, visually integrated design — one we’re proud to showcase as part of our 20th-anniversary celebration. Click through the album to explore the project!

In Flanders fields the poppies blow... This Remembrance Day, it feels more pertinent than ever to honour the courage and sacrifice of all Canadians who have fought for our rights and freedoms.

🎃 Happy Halloween from Forge Media + Design! 🎃

We created this spooktacular animation for First Gulf at The Globe and Mail Centre in Toronto.

This illustration is a single piece of digital illustration, spanning all 12 vertical LED displays to create the illusion of looking out a series of windows into a haunted scene. Watch how the animation seamlessly flows from screen to screen!

We’re proud to have grown this installation into a full content service over the past 6-7 years, continually breathing new life into the space for tenants and visitors alike with the changing seasons.

Check out our case study to see how we humanize technology and space through our physical installations. 🔗 Link in bio!

⚠️ FILTER ALERT: No walls were harmed in the making of this post! 😉

Here’s a look at the refreshed identity for The Design Industry Advisory Committee ().

This simple animation brings motion to DIAC’s new logo — a bold identity developed under the creative direction of Forge Founding Principal Stüssy Tschudin, in collaboration with Board Member Udo Schliemann and building on the original mark by Doreen Colonello.

We’re proud to celebrate and support the important work DIAC does for the design community.

“Its called Fall cause leaves fall down” - Socrates (?)
As summer days wane into fall, our digital display wall at First Gulf too changes its leaves to welcome the new season. 🍂

This animated watercolour mural brings a cozy vibe to the lobby with drifting leaves, soft mist and warm autumnal tones.

Our intrepid sales travellers have returned from their trip to the Middle East. Amidst blistering temperatures, our team delivered presentation after presentation to a stellar roster of potential clients, and visited our growing client roster.

Excited about the future, Forge continues to expand our presence in the Middle East, with a focus on both Doha, Qatar, and Dubai, UAE, primarily within our Luxury Hospitality service vertical. Stay tuned for more updates as we enter a new phase of growth here at Forge Media + Design.
