Winnipeg, Canada<\/em><\/p>\n Circle has announced that it will be wrapping up day-to-day operations at its Princess Street studio in Winnipeg at the end of March, 2014. Circle will partner with\u00a0T\u00e9tro Design Incorporated<\/a>\u00a0(T\u00e9tro) to ensure clients continuity of service and maintenance of the high quality design standards that they have come to expect.<\/p>\n Circle\u2019s principal, Robert L. Peters, is stepping back from the full-time role he has held with Circle since its formation as Circle Graphics in 1976, 38 years ago. He will continue to act in a consulting and collaborative capacity through T\u00e9tro, while focusing more time on international design advocacy, writing and publishing, and personal creative projects.\u00a0Senior designer Adrian Shum, who has worked at Circle since 2004, will join\u00a0T\u00e9tro’s team. Carol MacKay, our beloved long-time coordinator and “house-mother,” is looking forward to retirement.<\/p>\n T\u00e9tro is an award-winning graphic design firm formed in Winnipeg in 1998 by husband and wife team Paul and Andrea T\u00e9trault. Their stunning downtown office is located two blocks west of Circle in Winnipeg\u2019s historic Exchange District. T\u00e9tro credits its success and reputation to \u201csmall-town good manners, hard work, good design, and great client relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n Prior to forming T\u00e9tro, Andrea worked as a designer with Circle for five years in the mid 1990s. \u201cIn addition to our shared history, I believe we share a common ideology, which made this a natural fit for us,\u201d Andrea explains. \u201cWe are honoured to be entrusted to carry on the work of a firm with such high credentials,\u201d Paul adds. \u201cThis expansion will mean an increase in both capacity and expertise that will benefit our combined client base.\u201d<\/p>\n Besides the standard-setting professionalism and best practices shared by Circle and T\u00e9tro, another common trait is their commitment to and ongoing investment in the design profession. Adrian Shum, a senior designer at Circle, is the current president of the Society of Graphic Designers of Canada (GDC), Manitoba Chapter; Andrea Tetrault served as president from 1994-1996; and Robert L. Peters was the GDC Manitoba Chapter\u2019s founding president from 1990-1992.<\/p>\n For more information about T\u00e9tro visit\u00a0www.tetrodesign.com<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
