This is the new logo design (opens in new tab) for South Australia, a state in the southern central part of the country. It's designed to promote the state, whose capital is Adelaide, as the "doorway to Australia".

The rebrand was commissioned by South Australia premier Jay Weatherill who said he was tired of people overseas confusing South Australia with South Africa. This video has also been released to showcase the new branding:
