BRANDING CASE STUDIES DEVELOPED IN AUSTRALIA

EPRA / Branding Case Study

EPRA is a government authority charged with revitalising Perth’s underutilised urban areas. While EPRA as an organisation was very clear in its intent, their branding lacked focus and systems by which efficiencies could be gained. The new EPRA brand identity reflects the professionalism of the organisation while remaining approachable and fresh.

Rottnest General Store / Branding Case Study

Located off the coast of Perth, Rottnest Island has been for over 70 years, a favourite holiday destination for generations.

A completely new identity was created for the Island's General Store, introducing a look and feel respectful of the history and heritage of this laid-back and informal nature of this very special destination.

State Theatre Centre of Western Australia / Branding Case Study

Opening its doors in 2010, the State Theatre Centre of Western Australia will be Perth's most important performing arts venue.

The Identity of The Centre was developed working closely with the Department of Culture and the Arts, inspired by the work of West Australian artist Howard Taylor, the venue's elegant architecture and the concept of light.

Simultaneously to the Identity's development, The Centre's marketing materials and a complex directional and marketing signage system was created.

A system has been developed for The Centre's directional and marketing signage, including the venue's back of house areas.

The Breakwater / Branding Case Study

The new Breakwater is one of Perth’s premier hospitality venues, overlooking the water in Hillarys Boat Harbour. The Breakwater incorporates a stunning bar that spills out onto the boardwalk, an upstairs cocktail lounge and restaurant, and a beautifully appointed private function suite. The brand architecture and sub-brands had to blend with the venue's architecture and interior design so it wouldn't stand out, but it had to reflect the qualities this high-end bar, restaurant, lounge and functions centre.
