Production Technology: A range of avenues were explored in strategizing the creative direction for the brand. Color psychology principles were researched for values related to relaxation and tourism, whilst considerations were also made to the local fauna, wildlife, and the colors and material selections made for the new buildings. This ensured and online/ offline consistency of guest experience across the brand and stay.
The insights gained were translated and realised into a cohesive brand design featuring the 'tree rings of life/history' - that spans across typical brand elements, a unique website, social media, advertising and other mediums.
Design Challenge: The challenges in creating this brand were multifaceted. Previously run as a caravan park, and tragically destroyed by the Australian bushfires, this created an opportunity for the new owners to reinvent the destination to deliver a new and unique experience for guests. Delivering a brand and creative strategy that paid tribute to the story of the location and honoured the cultural significance and history of the land, whilst also engaging new guests about the future was a great challenge.
Research: In development and realisation of the strategy for this brand, a number of factors were evaluated: colour psychology values and their relationship to the brand values, competitor marques and identity to ensure unique placement and positioning, and the form, colours, materials and planning of the rebuilt physical spaces, buildings and physical landscape were considered to ensure a digital and physical consistency of brand and identity.
Inspiration: With a rich story of rejuvenation following fires, this Eco Camp and Tourism Destination needed a symbolic brand that represented their various stages of history, their rich cultural connection, and the changes the physical landscape had endured.
The tree 'rings of life' were chosen as the symbol to represent the locations history of growth and rebirth, and to reflect the unique eco experience the destination delivers. In doing so the brand has been set apart from the traditional leaf or gecko icons commonly represented in eco tourism branding.
Project Duration: The project started in Early 2021, with brand launched in July 2022 for pre-opening campaign to support December opening.
Operation Flow: The resulting brand delivered a style of identity not before seen in the Australian Eco Tourism Space. The elements of the brand were adapted across various production mediums and in pleasing variations to meet form of purpose. Eg, high contrast ads and simple representation for physical signage, Contrasting variations and adaptions for visual interest on social media etc.
