AO LIVE

AO LIVE

AO LIVE is the AO summer music festival. Running throughout the tournament, headliners take over John Cain Arena at night, DJs spin at TOPCOURT, and Garden Square keeps things loose and acoustic with sets throughout the day.



It’s for people who come for the tennis and stay for the party, and those who do it the other way round. Three weeks of music and entertainment, with something for everyone.

Primary Logo

The AO Live logo flexes to fit its surroundings, changing colour to sit cleanly against the creative it lives on. Pick the version that holds contrast and keeps the logo legible, whether it's leading a branded asset or sitting alongside Artist work.

Sounds Like Summer

The campaign construct ‘Sounds Like’ treats AO LIVE as the soundtrack to an Australian summer, standing on its own as a great music event rather than a support act to the tennis. 



The tone of voice is energetic and rhythmic, as we unpack the fan experience one 'Sounds Like' at a time.

‘Sounds Like’ is flexible, designed to capture what’s coming — the artists, events and surprises — as well as what you’ll do and how you’ll feel.


This gives the voice the freedom to move from the literal to the emotional, while always keeping music, summer and atmosphere at its core.

Typography

The type system utilises two key fonts: Aro for headings and Neue Plak for body copy. To enhance flexibility, the Aro family uses a range of widths, allowing each asset to express its tone while staying visually connected.

Secondary font

Our secondary font is reserved for long-form body copy. Use it wherever a block of text needs to breathe and be read comfortably, keeping it to full paragraphs and leaving headings and subheadings to the primary typeface.

Kinetic Typography extends this further. Aligned with our Brand Principles, it visualises sound, echoes tennis rhythm, and moves with culture. It adds energy, immersion, and attitude. It’s motion with meaning and a tool to flex each product’s identity, while keeping the system in sync.

Rhythmic Shapes

Our brand shapes are the building blocks of the system. Use them as standalone graphic devices, tile them into patterns, or turn them into masks for photography and footage. The shapes work across both static and motion assets.

Shape Masks

Here are our Rhythmic Shapes at work as masks, containing footage and imagery in motion.

AO LIVE Ticker Tape

Ticker Tape is our framing device. A running band that wraps the edge of an asset, displaying the AO Live marque and leaning in to the visual style of music festivals. Use it to frame key visuals, hold headlines and dates, and give every asset a sense of motion even when it sits still.

Brand Examples

AO LIVE comes to life both onsite and online with consistent application of our refined typography, bespoke colour palette and considered usage of design elements.
