Entry Description

Standards New Zealand was looking for a refreshed identity to start the new decade. Chief among their concerns was the ease with which printers could handle their logo at various sizes. A new mark was designed, which readily addressed this concern, and a new visual language was developed around readability and ease-of-use of standards materials. Vibrant colours, interlocking fields reminiscent of the new mark, and use of home grown typography complete the new identity system.
