Brand Guidelines

How to use the State Brand

Created with a distinct tone and style, the State Brand represents who we are and what we do

The state brand is a unifying symbol, created to identify and position the vast array of businesses, services and products of South Australia. Under one banner, we leverage our competitive advantage, while building awareness for the state we call home.

These guidelines demonstrate how to adopt the flexible and impactful design system.

The State Brand
A doorway to opportunity

The State Brand identity is a highly flexible design that provides endless execution opportunities that are different but still say we’re from South Australia. The multiple open doorways represent that South Australia is open for business with new and exciting opportunities.
