Here are some of the comments.
The new brand strategy is being launched... "Inspired by you." It would have been a good idea to interact with the consumers so that they at least feel that not only the products sold at PnP but the brand strategy was also inspired by us. When launching new strategies, one needs to ensure that it is relevant and true to the public, ensure that all loops are closed and everything is in synergy. Well done nonetheless, I don't foresee that this will negetively affect sales in anyway... which is most important. I must say though, the new logo is not inspiring at all. By Mimi
The colour combination induces illness and I'm sure I've seen those colours somewhere in checkers. The identity in general is poor. "Inspired by you" has a good ring but its hard to spot when you feel ill. This identity is the product of a work done by a foreign agency most likely out of touch with the local market. The people of that agency don't have to go to PnP for the next 20 years looking at that logo, so needless to say I think they would have put more effort into Tesco if they had a shot. By Andre
I like the fact that the new logo is fresh and new - brands always need to re-invent themselves - however, I do not think the new look is memorable or very strong (the old brand had more personality)...I like the new payoff line though!
Strange Eurocentric flavour - shows lack of understanding of the South African market. Homogenous, lacks personality and equity.....? By Anon.
Looks like a British bank logo. The overall typography is fine, but why change the colours? Red and black were clear and distinctive. These wishy-washy colours are not very bold or South African. I miss the apostrophe too. By Anon.
I think it looks good. It definitely has the look and feel of European retailers such as Sainsbury and Tesco's. The fact that the design team were based in UK might have something to do with this. Change is good regardless. By Promotis
