Envelope’s initial brief brought ISA’s strategic framework to life, resulting in an invitation to rebrand this national organisation. Broad stakeholder conversations helped distill ISA’s core messages into just three — Diversity, Choice, Contribution.

With a desire to reflect a contemporary curriculum focussed on STEAM (Science, Technologies, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics), Envelope embodies these disciplines in a fluid möbius strip. A 3D model allows for infinite views of this sculptural form, perfectly encapsulating diversity and choice.

Infinite perspectives of the möbius are paired with ambassadors from the community including teachers, parents and students. This unique visual architecture is the perfect marketing stage from which to communicate a wide range of human insights.

What a find. Ty exceeded my expectations. He listened attentively and thoughtfully to what we wanted and responded with a range of design options before helping us to refine our thinking and hone in on a unique brand identity. The result, a very elegant logo and refreshing, contemporary colour palette, iconography and typology, that beautifully embodies what Independent Schools Australia stands for.”
