Learn moreHow we work
Here’s what working with Juicy Designs on a Johannesburg branding project looks like from day one.
Brand questionnaire, discovery call, competitive brand audit of your JHB market, target audience analysis. We understand your market before we design anything. Strategy packages include formal workshops.
Week 1We develop 2-3 distinct brand directions, each with logo concepts, colour palette, and typography. Presented digitally with rationale explaining how each direction addresses your JHB positioning requirements.
Week 2-3You select a direction and we refine it through 2 rounds of revisions. Logo is perfected, brand system is built out, brand guidelines drafted. We show every element in real-world JHB brand contexts before sign-off.
Week 3-5Complete file package delivered: AI, EPS, SVG, PNG, PDF. Brand guidelines document finalised. Walk-through call to ensure your JHB team knows how to apply the new identity. You own everything outright.
Week 5-6We review results at 30, 60, and 90 days. If the market responds differently than expected, we adapt. Your brand and strategy stay current and competitive.
What makes us different
Strategy-led, founder-run, and built for SA’s most competitive brand market.
JHB’s financial 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.
We understand the approval layers inside JHB corporates: executive sign-off, legal review, compliance sign-off. Our deliverables are structured for boardroom 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.
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.

Yes. Juicy Designs has worked with JSE-adjacent financial services companies, asset managers, and publicly listed entities on brand identity and corporate communications design. We understand the compliance, governance, and approval processes involved in branding work for regulated South African companies. NDAs and confidentiality agreements are standard for all corporate client engagements. Our deliverables are structured to support boardroom presentations and multi-stakeholder approval processes.
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 JHB 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.
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
Here’s what Johannesburg businesses say about our branding work.
“We needed a rebrand that would hold up in institutional investor meetings in Sandton and London. Juicy delivered a brand identity that holds its own at an international level. The strategy work gave our board a framework they could align on before a single logo was designed. Exceptional process, exceptional result.”
“We were a tech startup out of Rosebank and looked like one. Juicy built us a brand that put us in the same visual league as the international SaaS companies we were benchmarking against. Our Series A deck landed significantly better with the new brand. Worth every rand.”
“Our old packaging was fine for markets but not for a national retailer. Juicy redesigned our full product range and helped us navigate the Woolworths supplier design requirements. The new packaging is on shelf and the brand looks like it belongs there. Professional and precise throughout.”
