Australian Eating Disorders Research and Translation Centre

The Australian Eating Disorders Research and Translation Centre coordinates a national approach to eating disorder research — translating findings into practice with the goal of reducing the burden on Australians living with an eating disorder, and the loved ones who support them. When they came to us to develop a new brand identity, the opportunity was as meaningful as it was clear.

The brand identity is built around the values of collaboration, connection, and community — a warm, human-centred visual language anchored by organic portrait illustrations that celebrate inclusive body imagery and reflect the full diversity of those the organisation serves.
The brand tone is deliberately strong, loud, and confident — designed to de-stigmatise eating disorders and bring the conversation into the open, with the belief that visibility is the first step toward change.
Sonia, you and your team have done an incredible job!! Thank you! It’s been a pleasure working with you on the brand, and we have sincerely appreciated your consideration of our views and lived experience perspectives. I can’t wait for the words and logo to be shared with the Executive and then for the world to see!
