    Client Work

    At Ikon, the proverb “necessity is the mother of invention” is a lived experience; some of our most innovative work is realised when seeking solutions to sticky situations and project constraints.

     

    We relish a creative challenge, such as ‘how to soft-launch a hefty product with a nationwide audience when it is currently unavailable?'

     

    Recently the realities were stacked against us with the need to generate crucial pre-launch interest in Smartstone’s new Sintered Collection; 22 natural stone-inspired surfaces, next-level vein detail and each slab at 3200 x 1600mm, weighing ...

    NAIDOC Week

    Client Work

    NAIDOC Week, July 7 to 14 2024, is a time for Australians to honour the traditions, achievements, and voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. To get in the spirit of this year’s theme – Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud – we took in a performance of Bangarra Dance Theatre’s Horizon at the Sydney Opera House (until July 13). As passionate Bangarra supporters, this was an inspiring way for us to celebrate First Nations culture and identity.

     

    In our work, Ikon is proud of launching the ‘Drawing Us Together’ NAIDOC week initiative with Charter Hall ...

    Rendered speechless

    Client Work
    Who wishes this elegant kitchen detail was in their home? It’s hard to believe it’s a render. Expanding our creative toolkit in 2021, Ikon teamed up with stellar international talent to embrace the world of CGI. In a collaborative process that blends vision and skill with technological know-how we are realising the impossible for our clients. Aspirational imagery has anchored each of our Smartstone campaigns since 2011, and shifting from traditional still life shoots to featuring the product in full room interiors both elevates the brand and inspires their audience.

    Growth in a new era of change

    Client Work

    Another year, another awesome opportunity to collaborate with our friends at Australia’s Academic and Research Network (AARNet). Annual Report 2023 ‘Growth in a new era of change’ called for a fresh interpretation of the brand guidelines as the organisation implemented a new strategic plan.

     

    Themes of connectivity, collaboration and innovation are represented in the design through colour and pattern. A vibrant palette imbues a sense of optimism while also providing a code to content navigation. While abstract imagery and a system of interconnected shapes symbolise dynamic ...

    Sydney World Pride

    Client Work
    It's Mardi Gras season! Flashback to last year when we worked with Sydney World Pride to design and roll out some very fun event assets.

    It was an exciting collaboration and was made easier by some beautiful artworks by Wombaya Warumungu designer and artist Jessica Johnson for Nungala Creative.

    Our work resulted in a set of vibrant wristbands, passes, and event maps, each meticulously crafted to enhance the festival experience.

    The theme of the festival, "GATHER, DREAM, AMPLIFY," was developed in close partnership with First Nations and LGBTQIA+ communities, embodying the ...

    Dance into the holidays with heart

    Studio Life
    It’s been a whirlwind of a year, fueled by creative exploration, hard graft, and adventures aplenty. This December we’re proudly supporting Bangarra Dance Theatre. More than performers, their stories share the rich culture of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. These holidays, let’s celebrate self-expression, embrace joyous moments, and create a lasting impact. Cheers to dancing our way into bright days ahead. Taking a short break from the 21st of December, we'll be back in full swing from the 8th of January.

    Form follows function

    Client Work
    So much has changed in the last couple of years in the way we all live and work. Melbourne Central Tower has new branding, but we have a soft spot for the combination of materials and bright pop of colour on this leasing collateral.
