For AIA's 2025 Fast Start Convention, Starship Sydney was transformed into a fully branded event venue that immersed guests in the Ocean Fantasia experience from the moment they arrived.
Working across both interior and exterior spaces, our team delivered a complete event branding installation including large-format window graphics, bar wraps, entrance branding and custom marine vinyl applications. The result was a seamless visual experience that reinforced the AIA brand throughout every stage of the event.
From Concept to Installation
Every successful event branding project begins long before installation day. With multiple branding elements planned across Starship Sydney, careful preparation was essential to ensure every graphic aligned perfectly with the overall event concept.
Using detailed visual mockups and production-ready artwork, our team prepared custom window graphics, branded bar wraps and exterior signage ahead of installation. This planning process allowed every element to be produced accurately and installed efficiently within the tight event schedule.
Bringing the Branding to Life
Installation began early on the morning of the event, with the exterior window graphics applied across both sides of Starship Sydney. Every graphic was carefully positioned to maximise visibility while maintaining a clean, balanced appearance that complemented the vessel's architecture.
Working within a tight installation window, our team completed the exterior branding before moving inside, ensuring the venue was fully transformed and ready ahead of the AIA Fast Start Convention.
With the exterior graphics completed, installation continued throughout the vessel's interior. Large-format window graphics and themed branding elements were carefully applied to create a consistent visual experience across every guest area.
Every installation was completed with precision to ensure the graphics integrated seamlessly with the venue's architecture, reinforcing the Ocean Fantasia theme while maintaining clear views of the surrounding harbour.
Creating an Immersive Event Experience
Beyond the installation itself, the objective was to transform Starship Sydney into a fully branded event environment. Every graphic element was designed to work together, creating a cohesive visual journey from arrival through every level of the vessel.
Custom bar wraps became one of the key focal points, extending the Ocean Fantasia theme throughout the venue while seamlessly integrating AIA branding into the guest experience.
Large-format window graphics continued the visual storytelling throughout the interior, surrounding guests with vibrant marine-inspired artwork while preserving the natural harbour views beyond the glass.
Rather than relying on a single branding element, the project combined multiple installations to create a consistent, immersive experience that felt both engaging and premium.
Every detail contributed to the overall atmosphere. From the Ocean Fantasia illustrations to the carefully positioned AIA branding, the finished installation transformed Starship Sydney into a memorable corporate event venue that reflected the client's vision from every angle.
Ready for the Event
With every branding element in place, Starship Sydney was transformed into a premium event venue ready to welcome guests to the AIA Fast Start Convention.
From the first impression at the dock through to every interior space, the completed installation delivered a consistent and memorable branded experience that reflected the client's vision.
