Forcibly Displaced People Network

Forcibly Displaced People Network (FDPN) is the first LGBTIQA+ refugee-led organisation in Australia, dedicated to creating a future where every LGBTIQA+ forcibly displaced person thrives, with their rights and dignity protected both in Australia and globally. We were honoured to support them by redesigning their branding and developing their website.

Brand Refresh

Colour palette featuring five distinct shades: Green (#1C584A), Purple (#4E1F44), Lilac (#AADBEF), Yellow (#F1ECB8), and Mustard (#D2C606). Each hue is neatly labelled within its own shape.
Image displaying three typefaces: HEYWOW SEMIBOLD in uppercase on a cream background, heywow regular in lowercase on a lavender background, and TEQUILA AND TACOS in uppercase on a plum background. Each typeface showcases both letters and numbers.

For FDPN’s brand, we embraced warm and approachable colours, using purples, greens, and cream. Shades of violet are traditionally associated with LGBTQ+ identities, providing a subtle nod to this cultural history. The responsive logo features a minimalist line-drawn rainbow in purple and green, offering a more appropriate tone than the full spectrum of rainbow colours. Typography choices include Heywow in bold and regular, ensuring legibility and impact. The secondary font adds a grassroots, human touch with its handwritten aesthetic, used sparingly to reflect the humanity of FDPN.

Website

Our design approach focused on creating a cohesive and user-friendly experience. We incorporated block colour geometric shapes over black and white images, ensuring visual cohesion across the site. Interactive elements like buttons and titles include subtle hover effects to guide users seamlessly. To accommodate extensive content without overwhelming users, we developed a mega menu structure, keeping in mind the needs of different personas and creating a structure to serve each of them.
