A collection of Strong Ideas

After a short break we’ve jumped back into the project with some fresh energy, having now completed both the stage one findingsĀ and the creative brief. Sifting through all of the discussion so far, we were quite humbled by the response and are really excited by the creative potential that exists in this swirling mix of thoughts, ideas and opinions.
As with anything on our blog, we are really keen to hear your feedback so don’t be shy. We are currently gathering our thoughts and nutting out the plan of attack for the design phase, so stay tuned as things will be heating up in the coming days and weeks.

Call for Ideas: What Does Tasmania Stand For?
Background: As we’ve already discussed here, a big part of how good brands work is through the communication of meaningful values. The current Tasmanian brand values according to the Government website are: Trustworthy, Resourceful, Creative, Pure, Friendly, Distinctive Quality. Is this really us? Can we narrow it down to a potent mix of 3-4 key ideas that really mean something?
Question: What do you think are the main values that sets Tasmania apart from the rest of the world?
(Please answer below via comments. A poll will follow to gain a consensus.)

Opinion Poll #3
