NZ Research Information System

NZRIS was created to connect users to a diverse array of research projects that the New Zealand Government supports and funds. The logomark draws from the Te Ao Māori concept of te ara rangahau, emphasizing the pathway or journey towards knowledge and understanding, which correlates to the NZRIS experience from user to system to knowledge. The identity represents the simplicity, ease of use, and utility inherent in the system, with an aesthetic nod toward traditional Māori weaving patterns. All of this creates an identity that is uniquely New Zealand.
