In the spirit of reconciliation, we
acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of
country throughout Australia and their
connections to land, sea and community.
We pay our respect to their Elders past and
present and extend that respect to all
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
peoples today.

We acknowledge the Gadigal People of the
Eora Nation as the traditional custodians of
the land on which we live and work.

City Renewal Authority Identity—Built environment
WorkBlock object (1321)

The City Renewal Authority is an ACT Government department that shapes central Canberra as a vibrant place to live, work, explore and enjoy. Their activities are multi-faceted, and their actions are shaping Canberra to be a better place. We were engaged in completing a strategic evolution of the brand to better connect with the public and other stakeholders.

The design language celebrates the process of renewal and building via a dynamic and robust design system based around a family of shapes that relate symbolically back to aspects of Canberra (square, circle, heart and hexagon).

The project involved a strategic messaging framework, development of personality and an overhaul of the visual design system, all articulated in a new set of guidelines, robust enough for implementation by the Central Renewal Authority and its external suppliers.
