Charcoal Design has created the new branding for the Australian Philharmonic Orchestra, also branded as the Australian Pops Orchestra in Victoria. Featuring a new hand-drawn and unique script, the design was inspired by music – the stylised “P” taking inspiration from the treble clef symbol. The orchestra wanted to avoid clichéd musical references, instead wanting an image that would appeal across the ages, to the older audiences but also the new generation of concert-goers.
Leaders in LED lighting solutions in Australia, enLighten, have enlisted Charcoal Design to create a new online presence for their growing operation. We redesigned their logo last year so it’s great to get the site revised in line with the new look. With new features visitors can easily access the latest news and detailed information on LED and eco-friendly lighting solutions. You can view the new site here (opens in new window).
OrionHS is a business focused on improving the systems, including health and safety aspects, of other businesses. With this in mind (and of course a lot more information to help us get to know the business really well!) we set to designing the branding which will be used across stationery, presentation material, website and downloadable information documents. The website is in the design stage – stay tuned.
