You know when a project kicks off with a whisky tasting it’s going to be a good one. Burke & Wills is named after the iconic Australian explorers, who set out on an ambitious (but ultimately failed) expedition from Melbourne to Queensland in 1860. The characteristic logo typeface Shamery speaks to the audacity of their adventure, balanced by the elegance and simplicity of the designs. The upside down ampersand subtly highlights the imperfections of the expedition to help give the brand an easy-going personality, supported by the natural colour palette, reflective of the Australian landscape.
