🌵 BEYOND THE BLACK STUMP WITH BLACKALL STATION🌵
Proud to showcase the brand-new emblem for the team at Blackall Station, designed right here at OJR Design.
For those that haven't stepped outside Brisbane CBD, Blackall sits in the heart of western Queensland, a place where the vast outback meets a proud community. Policing out here is as diverse as the landscape; from road policing on long open stretches, to community engagement, criminal investigations, and being first response to emergencies in some of the most remote corners of the state.
The new design reflects that toughness and versatility, and tips the hat to the towns proud rugby league club the Blackall Maggies. A badge for officers who wear many hats in a town that embodies resilience.
Blackall itself is steeped in history and character. It’s famous as the home of the Black Stump, giving rise to the saying “beyond the black stump” and a true indication of their remoteness in Australia. From its historic wool industry to its famous 'Hollywood' sign and strong rural community, Blackall is more than just a dot on the map, it’s an icon of outback Queensland and we think this logo, dreamed up by the guys at the station and brough to life here at OJR Design, is another strong homage to such a region.
