Coal Mine Theatre: Collection 2
__
The Coal Mine is an independent theatre in Toronto’s East End. The logo concept is based on an allusion to caged canaries that miners would carry down into the mine tunnels with them. If dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide collected in the mine, the gasses would kill the canary before killing the miners, thus providing a warning to exit the tunnels immediately. Just like a new play the success of which is never certain. Each season's design strives towards a different feeling (dramatic, happy, intense). The illustrations are based on elements of the plays, but never spoiling the story.
