CanvaCanva’s rebrand was driven by a renewed strategy and mission: to empower the world to design. Guided by the brand pillars of Inspiring, Empowering and Human, we created a flexible brand system that reflects the infinite creative possibilities within the platform. 

The idea of the Infinite Canvas became the foundation of the identity, a dynamic grid of content frames that can be filled with anything from designs and demos to community stories. This system allows Canva to maintain brand consistency at a global scale while remaining flexible enough to be locally relevant, empowering people everywhere to make Canva their own.
