GA2023 Logo & Guidelines
The GA2023 logo shows a stylised Xanthorrhoea (‘black boy’) plant, in the shape of Sydney Opera House. The design was conceived by Blak Douglas (aka Adam Hill), a Sydney-based Aboriginal artist, and developed collaboratively with Greg Hosking from Monotron Creative. The iconography picks up the ‘nature–culture journey’, which is a major program element, reflecting the importance of recognising that even natural heritage places have Traditional Owners and cultural values. The recognisable shape of the Sydney Opera House, attests to ‘changing’ meaning and more-recent cultural values, but is at the same time distinctively different from more usual Sydney Opera House iconography. The local name for the Xanthorrhoea is ‘Gadi’; reflected in the name of the ‘Gadigal’ people of the Eora Nation, the Traditional Owners of the land on which GA2023 will be held.
The image of the Sydney Opera House is used under license from the Sydney Opera House Trust.
Please ensure the following brand guidelines are followed:
- Only persons with permission to use the GA2023 logo for marketing purposes may do so. (Strategic Partners, Corporate Patrons and Exhibitors all have this permission).
- No elements of the logo lock up may be recreated, deleted, cropped, or reconfigured
- A clear space must be maintained on the perimeter surrounding logo
- GA2023 logo must be uniformly scaled. Non-uniform scaling distorts the proportions of the logo
- GA2023 logo should always appear upright
- GA2023 should appear against a solid background to ensure maximum and proper contrast
- GA2023 logo must be accompanied with the following statement: ‘The image of the Sydney Opera House is used under license from the Sydney Opera House Trust’.
EPS files are vector artwork and are infinitely scalable, thus eliminating the need to ensure proper resolution for the purpose of reproduction. Click here to download the GA2023 logo.
