The inspiration board process.

When creating a new brand, Sin often create an inspiration board, to try and capture the right feeling. It can typically use images, patterns, colours – literally anything that evokes a sense of place or product. One of the most powerful value-adds a brand can use is the existing perceptions and world views. Once the inspiration board is done, we build elements that are unique to the new brand, yet echo the same emotions, aspirations, loyalty and value. The acid test is being able to remove any understandable wording or obvious references and ask someone to describe the brand and emotions they are experiencing.

The elements that define Noosa.

Blue, blue and more blue. Shades from light to brilliant, to aqua and emerald, is there a bluer coastline in Australia?

• Crisp white tablecloths, long lunches under green canopies, and giant glasses of sauvignon blanc
• Linen shirts, resort wear, sun hats and more white
• Pandanus trees, Frangipanis and coastal sand landscaping
• Minimalism, naive simplicity, thin slab serif fonts, light patterns
• Noosa is light blues, pastels and corals
• There’s nothing heavy or ornate here
• The Noosa beach house. A signature Sunshine Coast invention, with wooden floors, glass shutters, open bifolds, neutral colours and more white!
• Ralph Lauren beach homewares, dried coral, driftwood

Noosa dreams - our brand story.

The word ‘Noosa’ immediately evokes visions of lapping blue water marching in straight lines to the point, white sands, the boardwalk and affluent relaxed people in resort wear strolling along Hastings Street. The clean, white, airy feeling of Noosa has a singular unique identity that has not changed in three decades, creating a vision in people’s minds that draws them back year after year.

Noosa’s iconic style owes more to 1980’s Miami and Key West than any other Australian location. Our new Palm Lake Resort brand celebrates that distinctive Noosa feel.
