The identity is comprised of an enigmatic form; called Eon, that functions as both an experiential virtual object and a reductive graphic symbol. The geometry of the golden mean was used as the foundation for creating a sense of universal beauty with an intrinsic connection to the natural world.

Jaryd Clifford is fast changing the way athletes of all abilities are seen and understood. Sound and accessibility was an incredibly important consideration for this project. For the film, the sound was designed to convey a sense of Jaryd’s experience of running – footfall, breath and the sound of his guide runner Tim Logan running alongside him. We also extended the story into an audio series experienced via a Spotify playlist.

Tasmania JackJumpers
An iconic brand for a new era for basketball in Tasmania as the Tasmania JackJumpers prepare to enter the National Basketball League from Season 21/22. Jack Jumpers are wild, fearless, and relentless in battle. As a choice of name it’s wildly individual, a little off-beat, and speaks of the quiet confidence of Tasmanians and their underdog psyche. Like Tasmania it’s a little obscure, but once you know it you’ll never forget it.
