Starward Whisky
15 November 2018
The client set out to create a whisky inspired by Melbourne, one that pushed boundaries in both production methods and craft. Tasked with naming the product, extensive workshops were conducted resulting in the outcome of Starward, referring to the act of looking towards the stars. This was befitting of the aspirations and determination of the client’s vision. The first release of Starward bottles were screen printed with 24ct gold with the distillery logo embossed on the stelvin, when opened it revealed a screen printed starburst motif on the cork top.

Ten Minutes by Tractor
13 November 2018
Working closely with the head sommelier the task was to redesign the Ten Minutes by Tractor wine menu. Asides from the extensive wine collection on offer, it also had to serve as a tomb of knowledge categorising the various varieties and regions of wine. Bound in leather and embossed with the Ten Minutes by Tractor logo, it feels important. Inside the content is organised with the use of different paper stocks and break out sections with detailed maps.

Petit Tracteur
4 November 2018
Petit Tracteur is Ten Minutes by Tractor’s bistro and bar offering french inspired food matched with a selection of world class wines. Part of the brief was to draw inspiration from an old story about a local man called ‘Simon the Frenchman’. Working with the talented illustrator Adam Nickel, Simon was brought to life and features alongside the wordmark as a part of the identity system. Considering the interiors and cuisine the brand has all the hallmarks of an authentic french bistro with a provincial twist.

Rodd & Gunn
4 November 2018
An established menswear label steeped in heritage was in need of a refresh. It was vital to see it visually transform into a modern brand that could play on an international scale. The entrenched logo was off limits however all other touch points were rethought and redesigned, resulting in a brand that had a new voice and consistency across multiple tactile and digital applications.
