Working for the government in two states of Australia as Design Manager, (more than 15 yrs) I would say this logo would be to complex, to expensive to reproduce given the paper quantity a dept goes through every month and finally its more a logo for a federal government project...'saving kookaburras in captivity'.... Also what happens to the detail when its reduced to business card size?

This is a cool different design, much more dynamic than most! I see a kookaburra, but it could very well be a lyrebird (NSW too)! Fine tuning, but the thing that gets to me is the kerning between the S and W, there's lika a white triange in between them. You could shift them together or the N and S apart. But awesome!

Another great design by Fabian! I love how he always decides to crush down the 'usual approaches' and offers an interesting and original twists. I don't see a problem here when the mark gets downsized, it might even work nicely balanced on the left side of the text part. Also, since I love options for further brand development, this one offers a few sub branding options just by using colors (structure of the organization) or shapes (communication).

Nice job, Fabian. I'm not sure that the printing costs are that much of an issue anymore with today's printing technologies. It has a nice feel to it and could be adapted to different color configurations as needed.

Refreshing but Opera House inspired design for the government logo? Bit of a stretch IMO, I see a generic bird, not characterized enough to be even considered as kookaburra even though we know what it is.

Although there's no waratah as described in the brief, I like this design because of the (negative) cute bird!

why focus on sydney only. NSW consists of other cities as well. hmmmm too cartoony too

The design does not look so original as it looks like some logos I have come across before. Moreover, using inspirations focusing on Sydney alone reflects a bit of parochialism and denies the unity of spirit needed to represent the great territory of New South Wales.

Colours is not really an issue as this could be made into three spot colours using overprint (although the black might be a bit off + drying time).

can't see this as a logo that represents nsw, odd looking and too cartoony. not official enough.
