“We needed a rebrand that would hold up in front of national procurement teams and mining clients. Juicy delivered a brand identity that finally matches the quality of what we make in Germiston. The strategy work gave our board a framework they could align on before a single logo was designed. Exceptional process, exceptional result.”

Three disciplines. One studio.
Choose your starting point
Brand strategy, visual identity, and brand implementation three distinct disciplines working together to build an Ekurhuleni brand that competes at the highest level.
Brand Strategy & Research
Your logo cannot save a weak brand strategy. We start with competitive analysis of your East Rand market, define your positioning, articulate your brand story, and build a messaging framework before we draw a single line. Manufacturing, logistics, and automotive clients in Ekurhuleni need strategy that holds up in tender rooms and boardrooms ours does. Included in brand strategy packages from R65,000.
Explore Brand StrategyVisual Identity Design
Logo design, colour systems, typography, iconography, and the full visual language of your brand. We design identities that work at billboard scale and favicon size, in full colour and single-colour, across print and digital from signage on a Germiston factory to a tender document. Every Ekurhuleni brand identity we produce is tested against competitor brand environments before delivery. Full identity from R25,000.
Explore Visual IdentityBrand Implementation & Guidelines
A brand without guidelines is a brand that erodes. We produce rigorous brand guidelines documents, print-ready PDFs and, on request, web-based brand portals that ensure your East Rand team, print suppliers, and digital agencies all apply your brand consistently. Stationery design, vehicle livery, depot signage, and digital templates included in implementation packages.

What makes us different
Why Ekurhuleni businesses choose Juicy Designs for branding
Strategy-led, founder-run, and built for Gauteng’s industrial heartland.
Strategy before aesthetics
The East Rand’s industrial and corporate markets are littered with logos designed before anyone asked what the brand is meant to do. We start with competitive analysis, positioning, and audience mapping then design. Every creative decision has a strategic rationale, not just a taste rationale. This is the difference between a logo and a brand asset.
Corporate-ready process
We understand the approval layers inside East Rand corporates and industrial firms: executive sign-off, procurement review, compliance sign-off. Our deliverables are structured for boardroom and tender presentations. Brand rationale documents, mock-up decks, and staged sign-off checkpoints mean your internal process runs smoothly. NDAs and confidentiality agreements are standard for every corporate engagement.
100% in-house. Always.
No freelance patchwork, no offshore design farms. Every identity is designed by our Pretoria team led directly by Wynand van der Westhuizen (Creative Director) and Cobus van der Westhuizen (CEO). You deal with the people who make your brand, not account managers in the middle. Founded 2015. In business because our work works.

Do you work with manufacturing and logistics companies?
Yes. Juicy Designs has worked with manufacturers, logistics and freight operators, aviation suppliers, and automotive companies across Ekurhuleni and the East Rand on brand identity and corporate communications design. We understand the procurement, governance, and approval processes involved in branding work for established South African industrial businesses. NDAs and confidentiality agreements are standard for all corporate client engagements. Our deliverables are structured to support boardroom and tender presentations and multi-stakeholder approval processes.
What is brand strategy vs logo design?
A logo is a visual mark. Brand strategy is the intellectual foundation that determines what your brand stands for, who it’s for, how it positions against East Rand competitors, and what it communicates in every context. Brand strategy includes market research, competitor analysis, target audience definition, brand positioning statement, messaging framework, and tone of voice guidelines. Without brand strategy, a logo is decoration. With brand strategy, a logo is a business asset that does real commercial work. Juicy Designs offers both separately and combined.
What files and formats will I receive?
You receive the complete master file package: Adobe Illustrator source files (.ai), print-ready EPS, scalable SVG, transparent PNG (multiple sizes), and PDF. Colour profiles include Pantone (PMS), CMYK for print, RGB for digital, and HEX for web. Brand guidelines are delivered as a print-ready PDF and, on request, as a web-based brand portal. You own all files outright with no licensing restrictions or ongoing fees. We retain no rights to your brand identity.
Client results
Real results from real East Rand clients
Here’s what Ekurhuleni businesses say about our branding work.
“We run freight out of the airport precinct and our old brand looked like a one-truck operation. Juicy built us an identity that finally matches our scale. The new look went straight onto the fleet and the depot, and it helped us land a national distribution contract we’d been chasing for a year. Worth every rand.”
“Our old product labels were fine for the counter but not for national distributors. Juicy redesigned our full parts range and brought real consistency to our packaging and labelling. The new branding is on the shelf and on every box leaving the Benoni plant, and the brand finally looks like the quality we put into it. Professional and precise throughout.”
