Bruce Wilbur Beatty, CM SOM CD FRHSC, (July 6, 1922–March 21, 2011) was a Canadian graphic designer best known as being chiefly responsible for designing the emblems of the Canadian Honours System, starting with the badge of the Order of Canada in 1967. The emblem is the shape of a snowflake - just as every snowflake is different, so is every member of the Order. As of 2004, he had been in attendance at every Order investiture ceremony. Beatty was made a member of the order in 1990. In 1977 he was made a Fellow of the Royal Heraldry Society of Canada.

One of Beatty's most important creations was the Order of Canada's snowflake design

Beatty was also responsible for creating the emblem of the Order of British Columbia during the 1980s and made alterations to the Victoria Cross for the Canadian Honour System in 1993. He has lectured to the Monarchist League of Canada.

Beatty died on March 21, 2011.[1]

In 2012, Captain Beatty was posthumously awarded, the Saskatchewan Order of Merit.[2][3]

gollark: Books:- mostly used to refer to objects of bound paper with covers (covers can be various materials, often card/harder paper)- paper inside the book ("pages") typically contains information about a topic encoded as patterns of ink on them- topics can include someone's notes on a subject, or something intended for wider distribution/other people such as a story/set of stories ("fiction") which did not really occur, or true information ("non-fiction")- cover generally contains art related to the contents, as well as what the book is named ("title") and who wrote it ("author")- the back will often contain a "blurb" describing the contents somewhat, as well as potentially reviews by others

gollark: The inevitability of book is inevitably inevitable.

gollark: I think I've *told* Tux1 about them a few times, so it's their fault.

gollark: I agree completely. The inevitability of apioforms is inevitably inevitable.
