Our mandate is simple: to provide the best entertainment.

Whether you’re organizing a sporting event or attending a concert, Core Entertainment promises an exciting event experience you won’t soon forget.

 

Why the Name?

Very simply, Core Entertainment represents three entertainment venues, managed by OVG360, that are in the centre or “core” of Hamilton.

Why the Colours?

The three colours illustrate to the viewer the unique nature of the three venues within Core Entertainment. Each colour, while unique, complements the others as our venues do.

Why the Logo?

The logo visually explains the three venues by showing three circular arrows rotating around a centre point or core. It also conveys that the events and activities that people attend are all very close to each other and often interact with each other. The arrows also used in the ‘E’ of CORE convey a forward movement which is aligned with the re-birth, re-growth and renaissance of Hamilton.
