Utopian genres use slow and relaxing melodies to romanticise retro and futuristic realities. Music videos often use looping .gif animations of Japanese anime scenes as imagery.

Faux-utopian genres present their musical work and imagery as dark dystopias and may reflect certain political views like anti-capitalism.

Infographic, 2015

Vaporwave is an aesthetic and music genre that

originated online in the 2010s. This infograph

discusses vaporwave as hyper-reality, by expressing

philosophically and statistically how it can be a form

of escapism for those involved in the subculture.

take part in an exchange of symbols. Gifts are no longer consumer objects but

CORPORATE IDENTITY Rebranding of corporate identity for Point A labs. 1st place student prize-awarded project

WeÕre on point!

TEL +27 12 470 2200 FAX +27 86 669 1890WEB www.point-a.com


Print material is important to our brand.

Bringing all our brand elements together.

An important part of Point A’s print material is

testimonials from satisfied customers. The images

above and right indicate that our bold testimonials

catch the eye and make understanding what our brand

does much easier. Posters are a necessary way to

express information about our brand, and our main

poster features clear sections outlining what our brand

does. Simple iconography helps make information

about our brand clear and easy to understand.

Above is a collection of our brand stationery. The

letterhead is structured and welcoming with the line

“you’ve got mail” to add some of our quirky personality.

This is brought through in the envelope design as well,

featuring the brand smiley face.The business cards are

unconventional. Instead of a full name at the front, the

card reads “Hi, I’m...” followed by the name of the card

owner. The back has the full contact details.

We’re on point. Check out our style!

There are versatile ways to use our logo. We like showing our true colours. We appreciate structure.Our typography is just our type.Some fun extras to use here and there.

We are a happy brand, and it shows.

Point A is a multinational company specialising in personalised

SAP solutions and unique data management programs. The Point

A staff are like a family and they each have their own unique

stories and interests. The rebrand thus follows a bright, fun and

quirky style to best represent the brand ethos.

The logo can be used in any brand colour as long

as it is clear and visible. There are various stacking

and placement options to allow for versatility

among different formats.

Point A brand colours are made up of

turquoise, yellow and grey. These may

be used interchangeably but within

limitation to keep a unified brand look.

All print materials are designed

using a base 9x9 grid system.

This is to keep structure and

unity throughout the corporate

identity of our brand.

All of our typefaces are web-safe, making

them quick to load and easy to display on

any device, anywhere in the world. They

are clear and readable, which is perfect

for work in print, too.

These are our icons. They can be used on every

brand material to emphasise points, make

information clearer to understand and to add

some illustration where needed.

Meet our brand smiley face. His smile is taken

from the line in the “A” of our logo. You’ll spot

him anywhere where we have personal informa-

tion or good news to share.

Vestas needed accurate SAP® test data The company required business processes to run smoothly and efficiently after applying support and enhancement packs and other day-to-day operations. In an interview, Esben Fagerlind, the SAP Landscape & Release Consultant at Vestas, explained the situation as follows:

“Before DSM, our QA and DEV systems contained manually created data – this was a risk for us. We could not live up to our quality goals such as avoiding errors in the productive systems, because some errors were not found before applying a change or a support pack to the productive systems.”

Vestas Wind Systems needed a solution for all their needs.

Vestas Global IT wanted up-to-date data in their QA environments without having to do a full system copy. They also wanted to copy data selectively which meant de-selecting sensitive data up front, slimming down client sizes wherever possible, and reducing costs. Furthermore, they wanted to enable business users to create ad hoc data scenarios for problem resolution.

“The Point A team show a strong understanding of our challenges. They’re complete professionals and are very pleasant to work with. Their support desk responds rapidly and any problems are solved very quickly.”

Esben Fagerlind, Vestas SAP Landscape & Release Consultant

The business case

The Data Sync Manager™ (DSM) product suite makes it possible to obtain scrambled production data on QA environments without having to make a full system copy or to create manual data. DSM Client Sync provides a table-oriented approach to copying a subset of client data, whilst Object Sync selects data at a business object or transactional flow level, from a single object up to a whole range, and copies it to a non-production system. Vestas purchased DSM Client Sync and DSM Object Sync for HCM and ERP. They also make use of the Data Refresh Service for HCM, ERP, SCM, CRM and BW.

Weekly updates of selected FI master data via Object Sync.

Ad hoc transfer of payroll master data in case of incidents in the production system with Object Sync. Every six months all master data is transferred and a six month transactional slice is made with Client Sync (ERP, CRM, SCM, HR and BI).

“Data Sync Manager has provided perfect data quality

without significant load on the systems, and test and

training systems are much smaller now. Business

Different retail stores have a variety of prices and specials. However, consumers often have a misconception of where they can get the best products for the best value.

cheapcheap solves this problem by comparing specials from various stores in a quick, simple manner for users to save money.

Users can save specials and look back for reference. Each special has an expiry date and will remove itself from the system once the special is over, thus providing up-to-date, fresh specials for everyone.

Brand message and background

SUSU sources and imports corn and barley tea from South Korea for local

enjoyment. Oksusu means corn in Korean, which is where the name SUSU comes

from. Both barley and corn tea are caffeine free and have a nutty, sweet and

toasty flavour. SUSU provides a premium alternative to regular teas and cool-

drinks.

The logo is intentionally left as a black and white frame in which colours can be

filled in to suit different and new tea flavours. The warm yellow colour comes

from the natural colour of corn tea and the tea and blue provide a fresh, young

feel for the brand image. The stylised Chinese character means tea.

Icons

The icons are used on the bottle caps to indicate the tea flavours.

Glass bottles with sleeve (front view)

Text and logo printed on with black ink. Thin cardboard sleeve

slides over both pottles and when removed, the logo is exposed.

Semi-rectangular bottles (side views)

The logo is printed on the corner of a bottle and overlaps onto two planes. On the

front plane of the bottle, one can read the flavour of the tea. The flavour is also

indicated by the bottle cap.

Tea Packaging and logo

The brief was to design a package for a drink that

South African markets are unfamiliar with. In order

to introduce South Africans to corn and barley tea,

the exoticness of the tea is enhanced by using the

Chinese character for tea in the logo.

However, the cardboard slip and glass bottle design

is minimal and luxurious to appeal to a youthful

market with sophisticated taste.
