REVIEW | Somehow we missed this one a month ago on It's Nice That: a review of our brand identity for PICA — Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts on the international branding site by Harry Bennett. “Our aim was to design a visual identity that transcends subjective aesthetics … allowing the look and language to evolve organically,” resulting in an ever-evolving identity. “We embrace all reactions – positive or negative,” he continues, “because they capture what it means to be the ‘Grit in the Oyster that is Western Australia, around which Pearls grow.’” https://lnkd.in/gwcYUvuS

AWARDS | This week's good award news continues with our rebrand of State Library of Western Australia backing up its Silver at the Perth Advertising and Design Club (PADC) Skulls with a GOLD at the Transform magazine ANZ Awards. It was judged "Best visual identity from the public sector". Thank you to the team SLWA for working with us to bring this homage to curiosity to life. The Transform Awards are a global celebration of brand development, reputation management and rebranding.

AWARDS | Just what Perth Linkedin needs right now, another agency boasting about their Perth Advertising and Design Club (PADC) Award wins ... but ... we are so stoked to have had the opportunity walk up to the stage on six occasions. We picked up a Gold 💀 and two Silver 💀💀 for Avivo: Live Life's The Support Project (great to have the incredible Natalie Green - our client - there on the night to make the walks with us). We got three more Silver 💀💀💀 for PICA — Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, Block and State Library of Western Australia. Two Bronze 💀💀 for The Montauk Lighting Co.'s Joy Exhibition and for Perth Design Week. Perth Design Week was also a finalist along with Perth Airport.

AWARDS | It was a good year for Block at the 2024 AGDA Design Awards picking up a brace of Distinctions for Avivo: Live Life's The Support Project and a bonus one for our collaboration on Create Yes (thanks Catriona Burgess for bringing us aboard). Additionally, we were lucky to grab an additional Merit for The Support Project, and Finalists for Euroflex, Perth Design Week and PICA — Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts rounded out a great night. The AGDA Design Awards recognise the best work in Australia and NZ.

“For Block, flexibility is a tool – not an objective in itself – and we always let the brand idea guide the decision.” Our Creative Strategy Director Mark Braddock spoke to The Brand Identity about the shifting world of branding and the history of dynamic identities. Mark discusses our work for PICA — Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts and Perth Design Week 2024.
