Australia’s Nation Brand
Good Design Awards
Balarinji was engaged by Austrade to design a Nation Brand logo and graphics to raise the profile of Australian goods and services internationally and attract investment and visitors.

The Nation Brand logo features Australia’s most recognisable symbol, the kangaroo, in a style that reflects a contemporary and authentic Indigenous Australian identity. This kangaroo tells the story of Country, of belonging and of living sustainably.

The Australian Good Design Awards is the country’s oldest and most prestigious international awards for design and innovation with a proud history dating back to 1958.

Each year, the Awards celebrate the best new products and services on the Australian and international market, excellence in architectural design, engineering, fashion, digital and communication design, and reward new and emerging areas of design including design strategy, social impact design, design research and up-and-coming design talent in the next-gen category.

Projects recognised with an Australian Good Design Award demonstrate excellence in professional design and highlight the impact a design-led approach has on business success and social and environmental outcomes.

The Good Design Awards Jury commented: “This is such a simple but culturally rich solution. The story telling of the construct of the identity is deep and considered, and the end result is a beautifully crafted and fresh interpretation of the kangaroo. This classic Australian icon, that feels both more authentic and relevant has found a proud new expression of identity. Beautiful work for everyone involved.”

Balarinji Co-Founder and Managing Director, Ros Moriarty, said, “We’re very proud to receive this industry recognition. The honour belongs to our team, the Aboriginal artists, knowledge holders and communities we co-design with, and our clients and partners who are with us on this journey to give voice to Australia’s rich Aboriginal narrative to challenge us all about Australian design.”

Balarinji celebrates 40 years in 2023 of celebrating Australia’s Indigenous narrative through design excellence.

From the Balarinji-Qantas Flying Art Aircraft collection spanning three decades to Connecting with Country projects on major infrastructure projects nationally,

 Balarinji has honoured culture, community and Country with its award-winning design products, projects and campaigns.

Balarinji Co-Founder, Cultural Director and Chair, John Moriarty AM, said, “Australia’s foundational Aboriginal narrative offers an original frame of thinking that has largely been missing from Australian design, particularly in terms of our public places. We are immensely proud to be bringing visibility to Aboriginal culture, sustainability and ways of connecting with Country through design in ways that all of us can acknowledge, and be inspired by, as Australians.”
