The identity and supporting typeface was inspired by sails, bodies of water, and chiselled markings used to shape and adorn waka. The repeated angles and subtractions work to further reinforce movement and direction.
The regions photographed provided an abundant source of colours, while organic shapes, movement and typography are incorporated to evoke a sense of connection to the roto and whenua and their whakapapa.
