Project Brief
Create a name and branding for a fashion-focused Melbourne shopping precinct. The brand required needs to engage Melbourne locals and visitors with an enduring brand that combines with an evolving image that reflects the changing seasons of retail fashion.
Project Innovation / Need
Emporium serves as a brand name that describes the retail offer and reflects the premium positioning. An easily identifiable bold 'E' brand icon is combined with a changing seasonal palette of patterns and illustrations rendered in sophisticated black and white.
Design Challenge
Finding a unique name and visual identity in a crowded marketplace proved the main challenge in this brief. Adopting a name that directly refers to the rich retail past of the Bourke Street site we could inherit an authentic story that builds credibility for the new brand.
Sustainability
Emporium branded materials were produced using FSC certified paper stocks.
