The Opportunity


After winning the opportunity to open multiple gift stores in Australia’s busiest international airport, Sydney T1, awpl sought out to create a concept that showcased the very best products of Sydney and its surrounds.



One of the main challenges was the brand had to communicate to a largely non-English speaking demographic.

An Iconic City


Dynamic, Diverse & Vibrant – these words became the foundation of the identity, embodying the spirit of the city, the landscape, and the experiences on offer.

We developed a comprehensive set of Sydney icons to represent those values and help bypass the language barrier.

Gridded Freedom


These icons sit on a 16x16 grid, allowing each icon to seamlessly link up to the next. The orange flowing gradient (think sunset in Sydney Harbour) adds a dynamic pulse to graphic arrangements.

The Impact


Carved into wood, fabricated on signage, and animated digitally, the distinctive Sydney icons flow through all 3 bespoke store locations.

The orange glow and stunning store fitouts attract customers from the busy terminal concourse into their last Sydney experience.
