Out of this world
Client WorkOur client AARNet connects researchers who unravel mysteries of the universe.
And so, the design of their Annual Report needed to sparkle like the work contained
within it. But what to do when the optimism of our home planet is dampened by a
pandemic?
We found the answer in Creativity of course! We shifted the readers’ perspective,
with 3D gradients and a colourful palette and showed the world that AARNet is making

Retro refresh

Client WorkHaving a long-standing relationship with AARNet, Ikon was tasked to create their new video collateral. We took the opportunity to explore the existing guidelines bringing the palette to life through imagery and dynamic colour combinations.
