Abstract

This essay explores the branding of Sydney in the 1980s with a discussion of Ken Done’s work. The article describes how Done’s signature style in the 1980s sold the concept of Sydney to the rest of the world. However the most recent Tourism Commission’s campaign (2004) uses the work of Brett Whiteley rather than Ken Done suggesting Done designs belong to a distinct moment in Australia’s history.
