An excellent recent exhibition I saw at the TMAG (http://tiny.cc/TXO40) was deeply affecting in its obvious affinity with country, sustainability of practice and embodiment of both community and self. Values which would provide strong directions from which to develop a 'Tasmanian brand'. Saying that however, the issue is complicated by the various agendas and stakeholders. Personally the value I see coming from the process of 'rebrand' is primarily this very discussion; how do Tasmanians see themselves?, how do they wish to be seen?, why do they wish to be seen in this way?, what do they hope for the future?, etc. The project 'rebrand Tasmania' provides an opportunity to discuss some of these questions and hopefully a platform for some of the many Tasmanian 'voices' which are not so often listened to. best Neal Thanks Stephan,

So the analogy to a 14 year old may not be that far wrong. The original Tasmanian culture, sadly diminished, is one of the oldest on the planet. Have we considered their opinions on this matter?
