An recognition of his growing iifluence in the field, Pigeon, in Â¥992, became the first nonâ€" American in its 40â€"year history to be/ elected to the board of directors off the Package Design Council "Canadians have the talent, the capabilities and the experience to strategize and implement a brand fdentity on packaging aimed at a North American market," he says. "We‘re already creating brand idenâ€" fities and packages for products in ‘two languages and two primary culâ€" tures, so there is no reason we should restrict ourselves to a single Canadian market, or for that matter, a North American market. Mexican markets are opening every day. and PSouth American markets are on the horizon." Pigeon is optimistic that this can work in favor of Canadian package design firms who already have honed their skills in dealing with two distinct languages and cultures. October 12, 1994 (Continued from page 1) Agreement) He believes that while there will be pressure from American multinationals to create more "global"package designs, he has also been in the business long enough to know that the ‘one size fits all‘ approach will probably not work in a lot of cases. For instance, he explains, there are currently enormous differences in how Kraft packages its cheddar for Canadian and American markets. In Canada, we‘re familiar with the seeâ€"through packaging, and the everâ€"present, horseâ€"drawn wagon on the front of Cracker Barrel cheese. In the U.S., conversely, cheddar is packaged in a foil wrapper, minus the distinctive horse and buggy logo.
