The Story Behind the Mark

The Canberra Office logo draws directly from the city it calls home. The triangular form is a stylised Parliamentary Triangle — the geometric heart of Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin's plan for the national capital. Its two angled strokes converge at an apex, echoing the sight-lines from Capital Hill toward the Australian War Memorial and Black Mountain.

A subtle horizontal line crosses the triangle, evoking the lake that bridges both sides of the city and the panoramic views visible from our Level 9 windows.

The citrus dot at the base represents our location — Level 9 — and doubles as a warm, welcoming beacon. Its colour is borrowed from the golden light that fills the office each morning as the sun rises over the Brindabellas.

Together, the mark captures what makes this space unique: Canberra's distinct geometry, an elevated perspective, and a friendly energy that invites people in.
