Designed by the Vancouver based 'Janet Helm Presents' design company to mark the merging of the VersaCold and Atlas corporations. The blue and red are the corporate colours of the former.

They offer custom freezing and food processing, as well as complete third party logistics and transportation services. Atlas appear to be a company specialising in cold storage.
