Mangoola Identity

Posted on March 6, 2012 Posted in DesignTagged graphic design, identity, print, stationery3 Comments

Australian design firm, End of Work, created this wonderful identity for a coal mine called Mangoola. I never imagined that a coal mine could have such beautiful print material. They explain:

Mangoola is a coal mine situated in Australia. “Mangoola” is thought to mean “black cockatoo” in Aboriginal language. The Cockatoo is a native bird to Australia. Using the name’s meaning as inspiration Sydney based studio End of Work created beautiful print pieces to represent the the feathers of a bird and the strata layers of the earth. This was achieved through a large foil blocked pattern, and laser cutting paper. Launch invitations, Commemorative books, brochures, cards and stationery was produced on black Notturno paper stock.

To The Readers

I know promos can suck, but it does cost a bit to keep this site going. So what does this mean? Once a week a short, single post will be made promoting something that makes sense to you, and to this blog. So you will not see a promo for motor oil. It will be something relevant to you: designers, artists, photographers, architects and creatives. The posts will be clearly marked, so if you choose to ignore it, you can. They will be very unobtrusive, just text with no images. If you have any feedback on how the promos should be displayed, let me know.
