Not to put a negative spin on the rebrand , but how much time ,energy, resources and money whent into this decision . Changing Athletics Australia to Australian Athletics doesn’t appear that bold ????

Bold. The most over-used word in branding.

This is fine. But it’s not bold.

Having worked on a few sports brands in my time, my take is that this should have focused more on the unique magic of athletics and less on the generic shape of Australia.
