Pacific & Pasifika experience
Vivid Icon’s Fijian roots form part of more than 25 years working with Pacific businesses, publications, community organisations and product brands across New Zealand and the region.
Pacific communities are diverse. Samoa, Tonga, Fiji and other contexts are not interchangeable, so each response begins with the specific client, audience, language and purpose.
Real relationships and projects
Relevant design grows from listening, context, audience, language, consultation and practical use—not automatically adding tapa, island imagery or cultural ornament.
Vivid Icon’s experience includes Pacific community health communication, Samoan editorial work, Radio Samoa identity foundations, Tonga Wrestling Federation, and food packaging for brands including Viti, Paradise and Cibus. Historic work is included only where facts and usable assets support it.
Selected Pacific & Pasifika work
Health / Identity / Community Communication
Identity, guidelines, icons, print, environmental and digital applications for a Māori and Pacific community health context. Cultural direction belongs with the appropriate client and community leadership; Vivid Icon’s role is design and communication.

Fiji / Food & FMCG / Packaging
Concise proof of packaging and production experience across frozen, canned and carton product formats. These remain grouped rather than stretched into artificial long-form case studies.
Historical depth
Editorial layout and production artwork for community publications, structured around stories, notices, sponsor content and advertising. Stronger approved imagery is still required before visual promotion.
Early identity support through Lui Ponifasio. The project remains concise until approved historical artwork is available.
Respectful process
Understand purpose, audience, language, decision-makers and approvals.
Pacific identities and communities are never treated as one visual category.
Multilingual content is designed from client- or translator-supplied copy; translation is not implied.
Identity and communication should work across packaging, publications, digital, print and environment.
Māori-focused communication
Vivid Icon can support Māori-focused communication within a process guided by the client, mana whenua, Māori stakeholders, cultural advisors or other appropriate Māori leadership. Vivid Icon does not market itself as a Māori design agency or substitute for those roles.
Connected capability
