Fed Square is Anything But Square!
Told you we had something special brewing.
Over the past 18 years Fed Square has become a globally iconic destination and Melbourne’s gathering place. Plenty has changed in that time, but not our logo… until now.
We’ve listened to our community about how they feel about Fed Square, how they use the space, and what they want to see in the future, to create our Anything But Square philosophy.
Our new brand is more than just a new visual identity, it is our promise to deliver a kaleidoscope of experiences that inspire, engage and celebrate our community and to redefine what it means to be a world-class civic and cultural precinct.
Best of all, we are bringing our Anything But Square philosophy to life in so many ways already – from our exciting new shaded areas to relax in the Square, our jam-packed summer event calendar, to newly launched podcast episodes and documentaries diving into the architecture and heritage of Fed Square.
So whether you pop along to Fed Square in person or join us online at the Virtual Square, we hope you’ll enjoy this Anything But Square adventure.

Check out our triple-bill podcast episodes below to celebrate our new brand and learn all about the hidden secrets and ingenuity of Fed Square’s history, direct from many of the significant people who were involved in its founding.
Had a romcom-worthy date at the Ian Potter Centre that ended in marriage? Fallen flat on your face while running to a screening at ACMI? Spotted a reality TV star at one of our river-side restaurants? Well, we want to hear from you. We’ll soon be launching The People’s Square – a place to collate all the magical and memorable memories Melburnians have of their favourite inner-city hub. And we’ll be rewarding one lucky winner with a money-can’t-buy-prize. Stay tuned!
