Color is often the first quality of a product to attract the attention of a consumer and stimulate imagination. Whether soothing or agitating, cheering or depressing, color certainly demonstrates the ability to provoke sentiment.
Scouring the globe for the best in international design, the publishers of Vivid! – The Allure of Color in Design chose two projects from THERE, featuring our identity work for La Luna and Stylecraft. Both projects made use of strong colors to communicate brand values in a direct, engaging way. Available around the world, right now.
We were up on the not-so-sunny Sunshine Coast yesterday conducting a signage planning site visit for the first of an exciting new boutique luxury hotel chain who we’re currently helping with all aspects of their branding. Watch this space as we keep you up to to date with the progress of this extensive project.
Yes…we do logos as well
We are often surprised when asked if we do logos? It happens to be probabaly what we do most of at the studio. Identity and branding is our passion, and what we specialise in. From simple temporary campaign logos to extensive corporate identity systems, we have a vast experience in creating the right iconic image for a brand. Here are a few recent logos we have created… for all those who didn’t realise.
Stylecraft & Arper 10/10 Collateral
We were briefed on helping Stylecraft launch 10 new furniture products from renowned Italian furniture maker Arper whilst also celebrating their 10yr business partnership. This was Stylecraft’s biggest product launch to date. To support the travelling roadshow of breakfasts, lunches and cocktail evenings which we designed for the design industry and showcased here – we produced all marketing collateral, including the identity, posters, DVDs and badges.
We had a bit of fun with this recent e-invite for the Design Institute of Australia’s annual Milan Furniture Fair Review.
Mac Interactive Business Cards
We’re always excited when the printer delivery man comes through our door with a box of ‘fresh from the press’ goodies. The design of these slick business cards for Mac Interactive architects, stems from the much lauded 10yr anniversary book we produced for them previously.
Manta
We were appointed by property guru,
John McGrath of McGrath Real Estate Agents to assist with the branding and marketing of Manta – a brand new residential development in coastal Wollongong, aimed primarily at young couples and empty nesters.
Carefully art directed photography coupled with a hand written text style, presented a very fresh, personable and emotive brand image that perfectly captured the relaxed contemporary living available on the NSW coast. Everything from identity, brochures, website and advertising through to signage and 30sec TVC were created.

As part of the wider brand identity roll-out, THERE was asked for our expertise in branding environments for their new harbourside offices. Central to our response was the creation of an emotive and engaging graphic feature wall running the entire length of the studio, accompanied by on-screen animations and entrance signage for the office reception.

Stylecraft Advertsing
We’ve been working with Stylecraft for quite some time, and above are some of our recent advertising campaigns for them. The key focus being their 200+ GECA approved products and also promoting their 100% original furniture, not the imitations of some of their competitors. Also see some of our other work for Stylecraft, like their brand development and their festive card.
La Luna featured in this months Inside Magazine
Nice surprise to see La Luna, the boutique fashion store which we branded and created all shop graphics for, featured in this months issue of Inside Magazine. Thanks to Matthew Sheargold from Sheargold Interiors for the kind words!
MLC Centre Ad Campaign
Out on the streets and in all the right magazines, can be seen the recently launched annual brand campaign for Sydney’s premier fashion retail destination. This years campaign, our fourth for MLC Centre, focuses on positioning the centre as a ‘hidden gem’ in the heart of the buzzing CBD. We worked closely with celebrated international fashion photographer James Cant in capturing these beautiful images set against the dramatic backdrop of the highly recognisable architectural curves of Harry Seidler’s MLC Centre building. The integrated campaign needed to be easily extendable for a range of different promotions.
Some ‘behind the scenes’ images of the James Cant photoshoot can be seen here.
MLC Centre Retail Signage
As part of a major signage overhaul at the iconic Harry Seidler designed CBD tower, we have just created these sophisticated updateable blade wayfinding signs. The high gloss black with bright orange infill signs, are the first stage of a signage system that will see the previous tired and dated system replaced with one that more closely reflects the Centre’s contemporary retail offer.
Stylecraft Xmas Card
Continuing our brand extension work with Stylecraft, are these fresh-from-the-press seasonal cards. Given the economic softening this year, this concertina design with metallics and bright magenta overprinting, focused more on the idea of a positive year ahead rather than reflecting on the past year.
