The Sydney Symphony Orchestra (SSO) is an Australian symphony orchestra that was initially formed in 1908. Since its opening in 1973, the Sydney Opera House has been its home concert hall and performs more than 180 concerts a year with some of the world’s most illustrious conductors and soloists. The orchestra’s current chief conductor is David Robertson. [Wikipedia]

The current brand identity was conceived by Sametz Blackstone Associates in 2013. The primary typefaces are Emtype’s Ciutadella and Linotype Walbaum. The former is mainly used in all caps. The latter often is featured with its italics. The logo is in lowercase letters from Benton Sans by Font Bureau.
