To cre­ate one of the world’s top 10 neu­ro­science insti­tutes, the Howard Flo­rey Insti­tute amal­ga­mated with the Brain Research Insti­tute and the National Stroke Research Insti­tute to form Flo­rey Neu­ro­science Insti­tutes and become the largest brain research insti­tute in the South­ern hemisphere.

We were approached by Flo­rey Neu­ro­science Insti­tutes to pro­mote a joint ven­ture taken on by the group which was the con­struc­tion of two new purpose-built state-of-the-art facil­i­ties worth $225 mil­lion. As part of the project,
the Men­tal Health Research Insti­tute and Uni­ver­sity of Mel­bourne neu­ro­sci­en­tists co-located with
Flo­rey Neu­ro­science Insti­tutes to the new facil­i­ties at the University’s Parkville cam­pus and at the Austin Hos­pi­tal in Heidelberg.

The Front Door at Truly Deeply Studio

The Story of the Truly Deeply brand iden­tity
It was shortly after the rela­tion­ship between Storm and BrandDNA was made offi­cial that we made the deci­sion. A deci­sion we felt we would rec­om­mend to any client in a sim­i­lar posi­tion. Stop wast­ing energy sup­port­ing two brands and focus your resources on one. It wasn’t that there was prob­lems with the old brands, we loved them, and still do. It was that we had a new offer, that couldn’t be suc­cess­fully rep­re­sented by one or the other. So nearly three years ago, on a plan­ning week­end down the Morn­ing­ton Penin­sula, we made the choice. It was time for Storm and BrandDNA to fade away and be replaced by a brand that truly rep­re­sented the new brand design ethos of the new company.

Jane the Agency is a new brand of agency that takes a holis­tic approach to adver­tis­ing. Jane are pas­sion­ate about what they do and aim to nur­ture and inspire brands beyond their com­fort zone, using both tra­di­tional and non-traditional medi­ums to form a deeper, more mean­ing­ful con­ver­sa­tion with consumers.

We worked with Jane to cre­ate a visual iden­tity that would sit com­fort­ably within the visual lan­guage of the adver­tis­ing indus­try, but that would at the same time stand apart and would attract like minded cre­ative indi­vid­u­als and clients. Founded by Daniel Pol­lock, for­mer cre­ative direc­tor of one the top twenty cre­ative agen­cies in Asia Pacific and co cre­ator of iconic fash­ion web­site Michi Girl, Jane has a clear and play­ful brand per­son­al­ity which we have lay­ered through­out all design and com­mu­ni­ca­tion pieces. Shown below are exam­ples of the busi­ness card, web­site and post­cards design.

Our work with the City of Whit­tle­sea as their brand com­mu­ni­ca­tions design agency pro­vided us the oppor­tu­nity to work on the brand iden­tity for their Youth pro­gram. We ran some brand image research ses­sions with a range of young peo­ple from across the City’s broad pop­u­la­tion base to estab­lish a con­sid­er­a­tion set of rel­e­vant visual lan­guage to inform the project design brief. We also used the oppor­tu­nity to talk about themes for pos­si­ble names for the program.

Nava Homes is a SME home build­ing com­pany with a proud fam­ily his­tory. We worked with Nava tp develop their dif­fer­en­ti­ated mar­ket propo­si­tion and define their brand. The Nava brand was deeply rooted in their phi­los­o­phy of build­ing homes to enjoy with the same sense and joy for life as we often asso­ciate with the Ital­ian fam­ily lifestyle which is expressed by the Nava brand essence as ‘Ital­ian Fam­ily Liv­ing’. We devel­oped a brand book to help pro­vide clar­ity for the organ­i­sa­tion, that also dou­bled as a mar­ket­ing brochure for their clients, telling the Nava fam­ily story along the way.

Over the last decade or more we’ve worked-on a num­ber of project with fash­ion label Hemi­sphere. Hemi­sphere are a fiercely inde­pen­dent mens label with and ‘every­day denim sub-brand — you can see some of the work we designed with them here. In 2006 we worked on some fab­ric designs for a range of their shirts, which became their best sell­ing lines, and as a result decided a cou­ple of years later to form a part­ner­ship to launch a new label of pre­mium mens shirts fea­tur­ing cus­tom designed printed fabrics.
