The Story of our Logo
The beautiful logo for the Australian Eating Disorders Research and Translation Centre reflects the values at the heart of our work. It symbolises our commitment to research that is collaborative, connected, and codesigned with people who have lived experience, as well as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. This “co” approach is central to our practice—and it’s no coincidence that the logo itself was co-designed.
The earthy colours were selected to evoke dawn, hope, and renewal. The shapes within the logo represent diversity, individuality, and forward movement. The circular design also acknowledges the origins of the AEDRTC: a recognition that current approaches to prevention and treatment are not enough. Bold, innovative thinking—a “moonshot” mindset—is needed.
Through this lens, the AEDRTC seeks to lead and coordinate research and translation that reimagines how we understand and support people with eating disorders. Our work is shaped and guided by lived experience and aims to bring meaningful, lasting change across the system.
