The Express Link Alliance consisted of Baulderstone, Hyder Consulting, Manidis Roberts, Golder Associates and Peter Stewart Consulting pitching to the RTA for the Hume Highway Duplication project. The stylised ‘X’ reflects express – the outcome of reducing driving time between towns – as well as the connection of communities. The segments of the logo indicate a group of companies coming together to create a whole, while the colour palette is suggestive of the rural nature of project.
