Project Overview: Riverland Uprising Program 2022

In early 2022 Riverland Wine created Riverland Uprising, an industry-led domestic and international program aimed at building the reputation of the Riverland as a leading producer of quality, exciting, innovative and sustainable GI wines.  

As part of the program, Riverland Wine commissioned a series of stories written by renowned wine writer Katie Spain and portrait photographs by international award-winning wine and travel photographer Matt Wilson, capturing the unique personalities and brand stories from the winery participants.  

Riverland Wine approached Purple Giraffe to assist them with the following components of the program for 2022: 

Branding Development

A logo and brand identity needed to be developed for the Riverland Uprising program, which could support the program activities but that also complemented the existing Riverland Wine logo.  

Purple Giraffe’s brief was to develop a logo and visual style for Riverland Uprising program, for use across all projects that were done under the Riverland Uprising banner in 2022 and future years.
