Year
2021
Matilda Wilson Creative were engaged to re-brand the business in early 2021 as the brand had experienced excellent growth and needed an identity to properly match their personalities and positioning, which was a reef-friendly, approachable brand that’s the life of the party and always up for an adventure.
The Great Aussie Dream
The art direction for the brand takes inspiration from the golden era of Australian beach culture, the 1970’s. Where festivals were gaining prominence, long boards were a must and Chico rolls were a well balanced meal. From a design standpoint, we’ve taken the fun loving personality of this era and combined such with an educational standpoint that doesn’t feel like homework and instead, transforms the once monotonous task of applying sunscreen into a fun and easy activity.
