LGP

LGP's brand had grown faster than its system could keep up with. Sub-brands had drifted, the mark didn't hold up digitally, and every deck looked different. We rebuilt the system around clarity and authority, so any team can produce on-brand work without design support.

Client & Brief

LGP helps local councils across NSW buy goods and services with stronger governance and less friction. They sit at the centre of a procurement ecosystem that includes councils, suppliers, internal stakeholders, and community expectations, and their work spans panels, contracts, guidance, and the practical tools that help councils move faster while staying compliant.

LGP had grown, but the brand system hadn’t kept pace. Sub-brands had drifted from the parent brand. The mark didn’t perform well in digital formats. The colour palette had no hierarchy, so nothing stood out when it needed to. Presentations looked different every time they went out, because there was no system holding them together. For an organisation whose entire value proposition is trust and governance, an inconsistent brand was working against the business, not for it.

Solution

We built the new system around the sage archetype. That's not a styling choice. In brand psychology, the sage signals expertise, clarity, and guidance, which is exactly what LGP needed to project to councils and suppliers who are making high-stakes procurement decisions under scrutiny.

Two colours carried the behavioural weight of the system. Navy became the anchor for authority and navigation, because cooler, low-saturation tones read as stable and considered, the opposite of impulsive. Orange was reserved for key moments and recognition, used sparingly so it would actually work as a flag for attention rather than competing with itself across every surface.

We refined the brandmark for legibility, particularly at small digital sizes where the old version lost definition. We aligned the sub-brands under a branded house model, so every sub-brand visibly inherits trust from the parent rather than drifting into its own identity. We rebuilt the brand guidelines and created a presentation template, because a system only works if the people using it daily can apply it without a designer in the room.

Result

LGP went from a brand that drifted depending on who was using it, to a system that holds its shape no matter who's behind the deck.

LGP went from a brand that drifted depending on who was using it, to a system that holds its shape no matter who's behind the deck.

That consistency is the asset. In procurement, where every document is a trust signal, a brand that behaves the same way every time is doing real work, even if it’s not the kind of work you can put a percentage on.
