All puffed-out !
A change in leadership at production company Fresh Water Films resulted in a change in energy, and a change in name to Bouffant. REX was called in to translate this new energy in the form of a brand identity.

In the right direction
Developing a brand identity is often about taking back power – the kind of power that defines your business and what it stands for. This was certainly the case for specialist insurance company Compass. More details…

Seeing solutions
The thing that most excites the people at Spectrum about what they do is their ability to unlock the potential of visual content. These are people who are moved by all things visual and whose expertise lies in harnessing the power of technology to add intelligence to visual solutions. Inspired by this passion for ‘visual stuff’, REX used it as a starting point to build a brand and design a new visual identity for Spectrum, which is a long-standing client of the company’s.

Fashion-Inspired Facelift
M Design, an interior design outfit from the Middle East, has taken the regional market by storm with the work done for Wataniya Cellular, and so it happened that the business was soon outperforming its brand. So when the decision was made to revamp their brand identity, they turned to REX.

H is for hope
An estimated 230 000 children under 15 are living with HIV in South Africa. Yet only about 10 000 children are currently on ARV treatment, meaning that about 50% of children with HIV/AIDS die before they reach the age of two.

Seeing the wood for the trees
When Merensky wanted to re-engineer their brand, they were looking for an identity that would reflect their vision for the future, while still retaining their links to a powerful legacy.

Starting something
Increasingly REX’ work involves helping businesses to define who they are and redesign their business offering, by using branding as a vehicle to catalyse change and unearth potential for new growth. This was the case when REX took on a re-branding project for Global Access, a business-to-business broadcast corporation looking for a new lease on life..
The great Homemakers makeover
Homemakers needed their brand to work a lot harder for the business. They approached REX to help them align consumer perception with their offering. The challenge lay in the fact that while Homemakers’ divisional brands – Homemakers Fair, Homemakers Expo, HomeTalk and Complex Living – had the same client bases, there was no synergy between them. REX needed to reposition Homemakers as a great home improvement ideas provider instead of the DIY company consumers perceived it as, and change the outdated styling to one that was contemporary, credible and consumer-friendly.

Hall of Fame
When top brands are looking for a safe pair of hands to create and produce an inspiring television commercial, they look to Velocity Films. A company that has won nearly every local and international advertising award for creativity and production excellence, the Velocity team includes the industry’s top creative talent and an unparalleled body of work.

Coca-Cola, the biggest brand in the world, was beginning to lose its grip on its core consumer – the youth of today and more importantly the generation after them, who simply don’t share the same emotional bond with the brand as the ‘baby boomers’.

Waking sleeping giants
Creating a brand architecture for construction conglomerate ACICO delivered not only a visual identity for this Kuwait-based company, but birthed a common sense of purpose and shaped an organisational structure that has created new business opportunities for the company, both in the Middle East and around the world.

Since its inception in 2003, Liquid Chefs pioneered a new brand of bar culture in South Africa as well as in other parts of the world. More details…

The business of beautiful
We revel in projects that stretch us – and there can be few things more challenging than bringing harmony to polar opposites, and then expressing this in an identity that is at once professional and visually powerful.

Essentials for a life less ordinary
There are those who believe that to establish a global presence, a brand should position itself as being all things to all people, a hold-all solution that cuts across diverse target groups. But when Boubyan Bank embarked on a journey with us to revamp their brand for the world market, they discovered that it was their inherently unique qualities as an Islamic bank that would, at once, give them mass appeal and yet allow them to stand out on the global financial stage.

When Motor Underwriting Agencies (MUA) began it was the first specialist underwriting agency for the motor insurance industry. More details…
