Small Northern Manitoba Credit Union - fighting to make a difference

Flin Flon Credit Union

Investing at home

We are a financial co-operative Credit Union that provides investing
(chequing and savings accounts, guaranteed term deposits, mutual
funds) and lending products (loans, mortgages, lines of credit) to the
community of Flin Flon, Manitoba. Our members (customers) are the
owners of our organization and we are run by an elected Board of
Directors. People in our community work in a copper and zinc mine
predominantly and have high incomes. They enjoy an active outdoor
lifestyle that we may want to emulate in our brand.

Mid to Dark Blue and/or Forest/Dark Green. Copper may be used for
lettering although we are worried that would come across as plain
orange in print. We would prefer more than one color used by no more
than two of the three listed here.

Discussions with staff and board indicate that we feel that our
members see us as a friendly, committed to the community, relaxed,
approachable, warm option vs. the big banks.
Words like caring, modern, trustworthy, growing help to describe our
organization.
We are in Northern Manitoba, surrounded by the "outdoor" lifestyle of
fishing, hunting, lakes, evergreen trees. Some have said we should try
to incorporate an evergreen tree or the northern lights (although a
representation would be difficult) in the logo. Since Flin Flon Credit
Union is long we are hoping to have a symbol (or initials design) with
the name that could be used independently if space was limited.
