OUTCOME

TRiC created a comprehensive design system and seasonal campaign celebrating the spirit and vibrancy of Rio de Janeiro for Afloat Melbourne’s 10th season. The identity champions Brazilian typography from Blackletra, a bold sun motif derived from breeze blocks, and a dynamic and expressive colour palette. The result is a flexible system that integrates seamlessly across Afloat events and collaborative activations with Lacoste, the Australian Open, Bacardi, the Audi Revolut F1 Team, and more.
