Australia Unlimited was an Australian Government initiative to promote Australia’s greatest assets – our world-class entrepreneurs, researchers, exporters, educators, designers, artists, administrators and humanitarians. This objective will now be met through Australia’s Nation Brand, and the Australian Unlimited initiative and branding has been phased out.

Australia’s Nation Brand is designed to showcase Australia’s competitive edge on an international stage. It defines how we act, how we speak and how we look, so that when we’re promoting Australia’s people, places and products on the world stage, we do so in a unified way. Because when we talk to the world with one voice, our voice becomes stronger.

At the heart is the brand promise: “Our irrepressible sense of optimism drives everything we do.”

How we act: What gives us our competitive edge, and makes us uniquely Australian in the eyes of the world, is our irrepressible optimism. We don’t need to tell the world who we are, it shines through in our behaviours which demonstrate our values. We build trust, we’re resourceful and creative, we believe in fairness and we value mateship. When we’re on the world stage, we showcase the vibrancy, diversity and creative spirit that’s at the heart of what makes us Australian.

How we speak: The way that we speak to the world influences the perception of us as a nation. That’s why we combine the people, places and products of Australia to create truly unique stores that inspire and engage others. And by using the right language that is positive, dynamic, down-to-earth and always optimistic, we’re also demonstrating our values of trust, creativity and resourcefulness.

How we look: The look was designed to bring our irrepressible optimism to life. It’s inspired by our rich culture, our landscape and the sunny optimism of our people. The kangaroo forms the logo, bounding ahead with momentum. The colour palette is inspired by the sun and Australia’s natural landscape and incorporates Australia’s national colours of green and gold, reimagined to reflect our premium goods and services. The graphic devices were created from an Indigenous painted dot technique, inspired by shapes and forms found in our distinct land.

By combining these elements, you can create everything from standout events and trade stands to presentations, social media posts, emails, and much more – with a unique sense of optimism at the core.

If you’re currently using any Australia’s Nation Brand assets, there’s no need to redevelop any existing designs. While a range of new design elements have been added, including the kangaroo logo, an extended colour palette and new graphic devices, the core assets are unchanged, so all of your work is still current.

If you’re developing new creative, you are welcome to explore and adopt the new assets if it suits your needs.

Irrepressible optimism is what gives Australia its competitive edge on the world stage. It’s seen as the most uniquely Australian attribute, and talks to the fact that no matter the challenges we face, we know we can overcome them.

Working hard, excitement and adventure are all key attributes where Australia ranks higher than global averages (Gfk Roper Values Factbook). Optimism has been identified as a driver of perception change for international communities (FiftyFive5 proprietary research). That’s why it’s the connecting thread that runs through everything we do.

Domestically, we’re a nation whose people believe it has a bright future (Roy Morgan Optimism Tracking). Our optimism is rooted in our ability to overcome obstacles and find a better way.

The kangaroo is globally recognised as Australian and is used in the logo, which was designed by Australia’s longest established Indigenous design agency, Balarinji.

As explained by Yanyuwa man, Balarinji Chair and Cultural Director, John Moriarty: “The kangaroo is bounding forward, reflecting Australia’s optimism. It is formed by a contemporary expression of three boomerangs. The head is the hooked ‘7’ boomerang used in ceremonies as a percussive instrument for song and dance. The body and tail are boomerangs used for hunting or foraging for food, or to connect with softwood to spark fire. This kangaroo tells the story of Country, of belonging and of living sustainably.”
