South Australia. A brilliant blend. BRAND IDENTITY HANDBOOK 1

Branding is about influencing the customer’s

view or opinion of a product with the

objective of creating value for the business. To

successfully sell South Australia it is important

that people have a clear perception of what

South Australia will offer them.

This perception is built over time by the many

messages they receive about the State. The

message the Government of South Australia

sends must be built on the true essence and

character of South Australia as a place. This

message becomes the brand promise:

South Australia is a vibrant and welcoming place that celebrates and represents the good things in life.

This statement encapsulates our strengths and

drives our communications. It guides us when

choosing images for magazine ads, words for

editorial or when presenting at trade shows.

This statement, our brand promise, is the

foundation for the logo and tag line South

Australia. A brilliant blend.

To support this, in December 2005, Cabinet

endorsed the Brilliant Blend brand identity for

use in all Government marketing and promotion

where South Australia, the State, as a place, is the

product.

This is the first time one overarching brand identity

has been adopted for all Government agencies

that market South Australia.

Having one consistent message provides South

Australia with a valuable competitive advantage

when marketing itself, both domestically and

overseas, as a great place to visit, live, learn,

work and do business.

South Australia. A brilliant blend. builds on

the State’s main strength – its wine

reputation – without limiting its focus to wine.

In fact, the new branding encapsulates

South Australia’s diversity while being modern,

creative and inspiring.

In this guide, you’ll find the tools and

information to showcase our brand.

By working together to provide consistent

and clear messages about South Australia we

can more effectively promote our State and help

achieve our Strategic Plan objectives.

The South Australian brand pyramid was

developed over six months in consultation with

branding experts, Government agencies and

industry representation.

When communicating the brand, it is important

to compare messages/actions against the brand

values and creative filters (left and right of the

pyramid) to protect the brand’s integrity.

South Australia. A brilliant blend. BRAND IDENTITY HANDBOOK 3

South Australia is a vibrant and welcoming place that celebrates the good things in life.

The brand promise is a statement that

succinctly encapsulates the essential nature and

character of South Australia.

BRAND PROMISE

Page 5: SA Brilliant Blend Brand Identity Handbook

South Australia. A brilliant blend. BRAND IDENTITY HANDBOOK 4

Whether or not we are proactive in selling the

State, people will still have a perception of what

South Australia is in their minds.

As ambassadors of our State we have a

responsibility to present South Australia in its

true light: a vibrant and welcoming place that

celebrates the good things in life.

A brand is a living entity, strengthened or

weakened over time by the cumulative effect

of thousands of gestures. To create a healthy

perception of a destination can take decades.

This is why it is vital to present South Australia’s

brand promise consistently and accurately.

Every contact made and every piece of

communication we put into the market place

should make it obvious what South Australia

represents. Each ‘touchpoint’ is an opportunity

to communicate the essence of South Australia

and to strengthen its perception in people’s

minds.

THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN BRAND STORY

When you’re the wine capital of Australia, the art of blending comes naturally.

But here in South Australia we blend far more than wine.

We’ve put Australia’s most civilised city a half hour from the world’s most extraordinary wildlife sanctuary.

Where people swim in clear, turquoise waters and giants appear out of the blue.

We blend the freshest, finest produce in the country with chefs of world repute.

And new age cuisine now meets the ancient outback.

We put together history and elegance with horsepower and excitement.

Love of the arts with passion for sport.

We combine a drive to create with world recognised educators.

Where rapid career success is balanced with relaxed family life.

A higher standard of living with a lower cost of living.

By any measure, it’s a good blend.

But in truth … it’s a brilliant blend.

The brand story encapsulates the rationale

for the South Australian brand positioning,

logo and slogan.

computer supportThe Computer Support team provides hardware and software support to SATC employees and manages all the IT requirements of the SATC.

Employees in this group are located in head office and provide this service to other locations which include levels 8 and 10, 50 Grenfell Street, 18 King William St, Adelaide Airport, Woodville and Sydney. The team has also provided IT support to major events such as Tasting Australia and Tour Down Under.

it projects The IT Projects Team provides services to assist the SATC in the provision of on-line initiatives.

Achievements included the re-branding of the corporate and consumer websites to reflect the State brand as well as the development and launch of six regional websites. The Media and Trade Familiarisation Unit was also assisted with the installation of a new reservations system.

online servicesThe Online Services team’s role is to ensure the South Australian Tourism Data Warehouse is updated in a timely and accurate manner to ensure that a comprehensive database of tourism product is maintained for the South Australian tourism industry.

An automated method of receiving update requests from the SATC was introduced during 2005-06. The average response time to the request for updating data was less than 30 days, meeting the terms and conditions in the SATC’s operator agreement.

The Group’s role is To provide a posiTive planninG and policy environmenT for The developmenT of a compeTiTive and susTainable Tourism indusTry.The Group’s key objectives are to:

• Develop and maintain a clear vision for tourism (in conjunction with key stakeholders).

• Ensure Government “rules” are aligned with SATC aspirations (vision and policy alignment).

• Encourage key stakeholders to become committed advocates for our tourism vision (rather than ambivalent or obstructing).

• Remove unnecessary barriers to existing and new tourism development (focus on industry competitiveness).

• Facilitate the development of new quality tourism product (particularly experiential accommodation relating to our key themes).

• Build Local Government tourism planning capacity (to help communities facilitate sustainable tourism).

susTainable Tourism packaGeIn 2005-06, the Policy & Planning Group prepared the SA Strategic Plan Tourism Implementation Plan, which is designed to demonstrate how to accelerate progress in achieving the tourism target under the South Australian Strategic Plan.

The Implementation Plan identifies five critical success factors essential to achieving the target: the State Brand, air access, product development, a positive policy framework and industry maturity. These critical success factors will drive the agency’s strategic priorities.

The Group continued to focus on integrating tourism into the broader government policy framework through the implementation of the Sustainable Tourism Package (STP). This package of policy and planning initiatives was launched at the Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) Conference in July 2005. It was also presented at the National Conference on Tourism Futures at the Gold Coast in October 2005.

The joint SATC / Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) Planning for Tourism Seminar was held in December 2005. A focus of the seminar was the release of the Design Guidelines for Sustainable Tourism Development for public consultation and a presentation on the outcomes of the Local Government Engagement in Tourism Survey. A website was also launched to accompany the Design Guidelines for Sustainable Tourism Development. The website features a range of environmentally sound technologies suitable for tourism developments.

This funding is currently being used to assist with some major developments including:

• Stage two of the Wadlata Outback Centre Upgrade including new and improved interpretive displays for the State’s Flinders Ranges and Outback Region;

• Construction of accommodation at Coorong Wilderness Lodge.

Business DevelopmentBusiness Development continued to play a key role in a wide cross section of projects and initiatives to address SATP objective 4.4 (promote and support business development) and objective 4.6 (foster continuous learning and improvement).

The Group advised new operators starting up and developing tourism businesses, developed self-help tools and ran workshops on various issues such as risk management, product packaging and marketing.

It also monitored industry standards, customer satisfaction and service quality through communicating with industry operators and consumers concerning complaints about industry.

This Group also played a role in ensuring the effective development of broader tourism initiatives through advice, participation and facilitation:

• Ongoing leadership support for tourism projects such as Fleurieu Artificial Reef (Ex HMAS Hobart) Management Committee, National Visitor Safety Program Accreditation, accessible tourism.

• Liaison with industry sectors including Bed & Breakfast Farmstay Association, Houseboat Hirers Association, various progress associations, regional development boards, local government.

sector DevelopmentWine anD FooDIn accordance with SATP objective 1.1 (enrich the wine and food experience) and the Wine Tourism Strategy 2004-2008, a number of projects were undertaken to further enhance South Australia’s reputation as the home of Australian wine.

A dedicated print marketing campaign featuring South Australian wine and food icon personalities and destinations was developed along with a Wine and Food Media Kit while the South Australian Wine and Food Consumer Guide was launched at Tasting Australia in late October 2005. The Guide features more than 270 wine tasting outlets and more than 250 suggestions of where to taste and buy regional produce, picnic, stay, dine, celebrate and learn. Also launched at the same time was the Cellar Door Pass, developed by Smart Visit Solutions. The smart card initiative entitles purchasers to a host of wine tourism benefits at participating wineries and regional restaurants.

A Wine Tourism Directional Road Signage Program was undertaken in conjunction with the Department of Transport, Energy and Infrastructure (DTEI). The SATC assisted with production of the Road Sign Guidelines Policy and audits of signs in the Clare Valley and Barossa. McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills are also implementing signage programs, partially funded by SATC Tourism Development.

In addition, the SATC provided sponsorship for the Australian Wine & Food Tourism Conference 2005, Winedown Conference 2005 and the Tasting Australia Adelaide Food Summit 2005. The Wine Tourism Workshop Program has also commenced across the seven South Australian main wine regions in conjunction with the Winemakers Federation of Australia (WFA) and Regional Wine Associations.

The SATC is funding and facilitating a regional training workshop program for the wine and food tourism industry to link with the release of WFA’s Wine Tourism Toolkit.

The SATC also continued to encourage and support Food South Australia’s Regional Food Program. Adding to the food-based tourism business case studies developed last year, further fact sheets have been developed for some of the State’s leading Farmers’ Markets in Willunga and Barossa.

In 2005, Brand Health Monitor (BHM) research showed 72 per cent of respondents associated South Australia with “authentic and credible wineries and wine regions” (compared to 55 per cent for Victoria and 54 per cent for New South Wales). For the first time, the BHM included a separate question on dining and regional food. The State’s positioning on the basis of “distinctive dining and fresh regional produce” was a credible third place with 29 per cent of respondents associating South Australia with this attribute compared to 56 per cent for Victoria and 41 per cent for New South Wales.

nature-BaseDIn line with SATP objective 1.2 (value-add to the state’s rich natural assets), objective 1.10 (integrate soft adventure track and trail experiences), objective 1.6 (enhance the Murray River experience) and objective 1.13 (develop special interest (niche) markets), the SATC has continued to implement actions identified in the joint SATC and Department of Environment and Heritage (DEH) Responsible Nature-based Tourism Strategy 2004-2009.

In addition, the SATC/DEH Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been updated to include additional focus areas of heritage, coast and marine and Aboriginal partnerships. In line with the MoU, the SATC has also provided input into numerous DEH strategies and policies including the Development of Sustainable Tourism Development on land in close proximity to National Parks and Reserves policy and the Heysen Trail Strategic plan.

The Unit also developed a Product and Services Guide for the Yurrebilla Trail, which includes information on tours, accommodation, dining and transport services on and adjacent to the trail. Development of other similar guides has commenced for the Riverland canoe trails and the Riesling Trail while the 40 Great South Australian Short Walks brochure was republished and trails were promoted in SATC regional guides.

Research has also been conducted into development opportunities for the Heysen Trail, running between Cape Jervis and Victor Harbor, as well as the potential consumer demand for trail experiences on selected sections of the Mawson and Heysen Trails. A research report was also completed to evaluate the Star Party Down Under held at Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary while feasibility studies were undertaken to investigate the potential of developing new conservation and tourism products linked to Sea Lion research at Seal Bay, Ediacara Fossils at Nilpena Station and Flinders Ranges walking tours.

In line with the Responsible Nature Based Tourism Strategy 2004-09 objective 16.3.2 (review SA nature-based content in wholesale brochures and develop a product manual), the Group also developed a series of information sheets known as the South Australian Experiences Series, which specifically target “experience seekers”, one of Tourism Australia’s key visitor segments. The series is available in hard copy or on southaustralia.com.

Eco accreditation has also played an important role during 2005-06 with the Group assisting a number of ecotourism operators to achieve accreditation. South Australia has 22 operators and

• attract, develop, own and support major and strategic events that generate substantial economic and social benefits for South Australia and promote the image and profile of Adelaide and South Australia.

• ensure the development of South Australia’s tourism resources in a socially responsible way with emphasis on the continued maintenance and preservation of South Australia’s environmental and cultural heritage and the profitability and effective utilisation of infrastructure.

• achieve a strong corporate team and positive corporate culture that uses its resources in the most effective and efficient manner.

Financial Arrangements

The Commission’s principal source of funding consists of monies appropriated by Parliament.

The financial activities of the Commission are primarily conducted through a Special Deposit Account pursuant to section 21 of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1987.

Administered Funds

The Commission is responsible for the administration of the funds described below. These funds are not recorded in the Income Statement or Balance Sheet as the Commission does not have control over how these funds are to be spent.

PLACEMENT OF THE SOUTHAUSTRALIA.COM URL

The SATC’s consumer website URL,

southaustralia.com is an imporatant element

in brand communication. It acts as the first

in-line ‘call to action’ and needs to feature on all

communication items aimed at consumers.

southaustralia.com needs to become top of

mind when consumers are seeking information

on South Australia as a holiday destination.

The URL should always apprear in the type font

DIN Regular in either PMS CoolGrey 10 (60k) or

reversed out of a coloured background.

The size of type used in the URL is to be the

same size as the words “South Australia” in the

SABB logo used on the item.

When using a SABB/Regional logo the size of

the URL would be 50% of the size of “South

Australia”.

Wherever possible the URL would be placed

in the bottom left of the item with the baseline

inline with the baseline of the type in the SABB

logo.

South Australia. A brilliant blend. BRAND IDENTITY HANDBOOK 10

The content of text should reinforce South

Australia’s essential nature and character.

South Australia should be portrayed as genuine,

welcoming, relaxing and fun, with an overriding

sense of confidence, style and innovation.

Where possible, products, services and

examples referred to should reinforce our values

– Is it clean and green? Does it reflect a living

heritage and tradition? Does it support free

thinking? Is it genuine and personal?

Reinforce the Brilliant Blend tagline by using

contrasting examples, playing with the idea of

blending and balance.

Use the words ‘brilliant’ and ‘blend’ in their

active forms, but only use them once in a

headline – don’t labour them in body copy.

And write about South Australia, not ‘the state’.

Copy tone should be straight forward, clear,

concise and in the present tense so it’s current

and immediate.

Use this checklist for your copy as you write it

— Is it confident? Is it vibrant? Is it real? Is it

fresh? Is it welcoming?

EDITORIAL STYLE

BAROSSAIt’s the wine capital of Australia, a place

where you can get a real taste for the finer

things in life. But if you’re thinking that it

all sounds a bit highbrow, think again.

The Barossa is a relaxed and friendly

place, where you can share a drink with

the people who actually make the region’s

world class wines. You might meet them

at the Barossa’s wineries and cellar doors,

or you might run into them at restaurants,

or on a golf course.

Of course, there’s more to the Barossa

than just wine.

You can browse the local art stores for

something special to take home, sit in a

friendly cafe and enjoy a brilliant cup of

coffee, or get out into the countryside and

stretch your legs with a walk in a national

park.

Building powerful colour recognition is

important in reinforcing the Brilliant Blend

brand identity. Used consistently over time

these colours become associated with South

Australia.

Strong colours are part of the Brilliant Blend

brand identity.

The Primary Colour suite consists of red, blue

and yellow (as depicted in the South Australian

Brilliant Blend logo) and black and white. These

are the preferred colours when presenting

South Australia.

To provide flexibility, a secondary palette of

green, dark blue, purple, orange and grey has

been provided.

The only exception to this are the ‘Regional’

colours assigned to each of South Australia’s

tourism regions.

In rare occasions where a single hero

photograph is used as a dominant feature in a

design, to complement it, a colour may be used

that is not in the primary, secondary or Regional

suite. However the colour chosen must be

strong and vibrant. Steer away from dull or

pastel tones.

Images play a key part in visually

communicating South Australia’s essential

nature and character – a vibrant and welcoming

place that celebrates the good things in life.

Still and moving imagery should reflect:

• Good times

• Inspiring moments

• Authentic experiences

• South Australia’s enviable lifestyle

• An enterprising tradition of creativity and

innovation

• Exceptional wine and food

• A festival spirit

• Unspoilt nature.

Elements of South Australia to be exploited are

the State’s;

• Rich vibrant colours

• Clear, bright light

• Wide spaces.

IMAGERY

Generally, people participating in South

Australian activities or experiences should be

the focus of images.

It is important to show the emotional

responses of people.

Where possible, movement should be portrayed

as a way of showing vitality.

See the examples on the following pages.

purposes, go to media.southaustralia.com

This logo, comprising the ‘SA’ symbol and

Brilliant Blend tagline, is South Australia’s

primary consumer marketing identifier. It has

been developed to position South Australia

generally and is not representative of any

specific organisation.

It is a brilliant blend of the old and the new:

the font of the ‘S’ reflecting South Australia’s

rich heritage and tradition and that of the ‘A’

representing creativity and vibrancy.

The logo has been trademarked and can only

be used with permission of the Government of

LOGO USE ON NON-PREFERRED COLOUR AND PHOTOGRAPHIC BACKGROUNDS At times it may be necessary to use the

logo on a background colour other than a

preferred Primary Colour, or on a photographic

background.

In these cases either:

• select a coloured logo version that will

provide an appropriate contrast between the

logo colours and the background, or

• use the mono or mono reverse versions.

background where the image will interfere with

the visibility of the logo.

For all owned, sponsored or supported events

that will be televised nationally or internationally,

the ADELAIDE AUSTRALIA signage with red

background with white text will be used. This

signage will be used in this instance as it is the

most effective way of promoting Adelaide as

the event destination.

The words ‘ADELAIDE AUSTRALIA’ are used to

clearly identify and position the event location

primarily via television.

The red background is the primary choice

of colour, but it may be changed depending

on the event (ie TDU ochre).

Event signage without television

If there is no television broadcast opportunities

the signage will be the SABB logo, either

stacked or horizontal with no Government

recognition as per the standard consumer

marketing requirements.

PLACEMENT OF PARTNER LOGOS WITH THE GOSA/SATC AND SABB LOGOS

When including business partner logos on SATC

marketing communication and advertising items

the business partner’s logo should be placed to

the left of the SABB logo. The SABB logo should

generally be placed at the bottom right of the

item.

When the item is required to carry the GOSA/

SATC logo, the GOSA/SATC logo should always

be positoned to the left of every other logo.

When the SABB logo is being placed on a

partner’s advertisment or item, the placement

of the SABB logo is at the discretion of the

partner (as long as the SABB logo is being

applied correctly. See page 28).

murraylands + riverlandThe murray river begins as an angry young stream in the east. By the time she reaches south australia, she does what everybody else does. she relaxes, spreading into sleepy billabongs and sprawling flood plains. she creates wildlife-rich wetlands, generous lakes and winding estuaries. she waters the lush vineyards, orchards and gardens. she supports historic towns with their paddle steamers and houseboats. The murray river truly is the river of life.

the stunning scenery and relishing

the freedom to do as much or as

little as you want.
