What’s happening for people with disabilities? Giving a voice to disability law advocacy and justice


The Australian Disability Rights Network is a group of community lawyers advocating for law reform to achieve justice for people with disabilities. Their primary goal is to raise awareness about legal changes in the disability space.

We worked closely with the client, collaborating as a team to define the Network’s core values and showcase our weekly progress.

The client wanted a brand that felt inviting, approachable, and friendly—steering away from the typical corporate law firm or public legal service aesthetic. The challenge was creating visuals and imagery that accurately represented people with disabilities without reinforcing stereotypes, which significantly limited our design choices. On top of that, we needed to build a simple, user-friendly system on Canva, as the client had no in-house designer or experience with design software.

In hindsight, one thing I’d do differently is better contextualise the logo in relation to disability.

The logo is made up of symbols representing the Network’s values: inclusiveness, equality, and conversation/advocacy.
The visual language of apostrophes and speech bubbles to visualise the Network’s aim of advocacy.
