Stadium management, travel companies benefit from branding

Global corporate travel management company Wings and Stadium Management South Africa (SMSA) have launched new visual identities to reinforce the services they offer.

SMSA currently manages the FNB Stadium, Rand, Orlando and Dobsonville Stadiums and its new logo creates a clear, consistent visual identity to assist the public in identifying its managed stadiums that offer secure bookings.

"Our new identity is more than just a logo, we want to change the way events are managed in this country to quell the sustainability issues plaguing many of the other stadiums following the 2010 FIFA World Cup," says Jacques Grobbelaar, chief executive of SMSA. "It is becoming increasingly important to host events with multi-function capabilities, such as entertainment and soccer together to attract the public back to the stadiums."
