His father Allen Steveson Fleming, was a clerk with Canadian National Railways, which may have helped him with his success. However Allan Fleming has always been a hard-working designer, he was only 16 when he apprenticed at various firms in the city, which is incredibly impressive for someone to be working in a professional field that young.\u00a0 He is best known for creating the Canadian National railway logo which was launched in 1960, and it remains unchanged. He worked as a freelance designer and taught part-time at the Ontario College of Art, he subsequently landed a major position as an Art director for Maclean\u2019s Magazine1962. Clients included General Electric, General Motors, Hockey Night in Canada, and Imperial Oil. More clients meant more opportunities. Throughout his career, Fleming\u2019s work has won numerous awards, and he is far beyond remembered as the man who created the CN logo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7267\/7788730324_ae8e421f07_o.jpg\" alt=\"Eye Magazine | Feature | Allan Fleming: The man who branded a nation\" \/><figcaption>Allan Fleming looking cheeky for the camera<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/8\/88\/Afleming_macleans.png\/220px-Afleming_macleans.png\" alt=\"Allan Fleming - Wikipedia\" width=\"429\" height=\"558\" \/><figcaption>Fleming&#8217;s expressive typography.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/6\/5679\/30122815024_e8351db306_z.jpg\" alt=\"Eye Magazine | Feature | Allan Fleming: The man who branded a nation\" \/><figcaption>Eye Magazine ft.
