The Opportunity


In 1995, awpl opened their first ever store in - Australian Way at Brisbane International Airport.

Since then, the brand has established a network of stores across most airports in the country, though the brand had undergone multiple brand identity refreshes in the past, which has created a confusing disconnect between stores across the network.

We developed a new identity that would endure the test of time.

Celebrating YOUR Australia


When the holiday comes to an end, Australian Way has always helped travellers to celebrate their Australian experience.

The new symbol combines 3 elements: Australia, the finger frame gesture (capturing personal memories), flying boomerangs (excitement & homage).

A Nostalgic Atmosphere

Instore wayfinding, promotional signage, and digital displays are branded consistently using guidelines, creating a cohesive experience for customers.
