A brand used to be the company’s logo or a design.
Today, that is a shadow of a brand.
Istead - a brand is an experience, the summary of all positive and negative encounters between the customer and the company. It is the perceived emotional corporate image, a gut feel, a set of expectations, memories, stories and relationships that, taken together, account for a consumer’s decision to choose one product or service over another.
What this means is that every employee in the company, as well as every customer touch point, is part of creating the brand.
The moment of truth for any brand arises if, of if not, the the promises made and expectations cre-ated via marketing materials are fulfilled in reality.
The USB-ED marketing team’s aim, however, is to promote the brand by telling the USB-ED story, to create consistency and to create relevance through creativity.
Althought this brand identity document is there to guide the visual aspects of the brand, we realise that a brand is a living thing and must never be too strictly boxed in, prescribed to. Design much like innovation will break rules, change, evolve, and so it should in order for it to remain relevant and eye-catching.
This is therefore just a guideline in order for at least the expectation of quality and sophistication to be portrayed.

1.1 Who we are: Association with Stellenbosch: USB Executive Development (USB-ED) is the public executive development company within the University of Stellenbosch Business School (USB). An African vision: We are continually expanding our African footprint. Our vision: We see leaders across Africa and beyond serving others with wisdom and courage.Global perspective: We collaborate with inter-national business schools and leading partners to offer world-class business learning opportunities.We practice what we preach: Unlike other business schools and AcademiUc Institutions in SA, USB-ED attempts to ‘practice what it preaches’ by running as a private company with its own Board of Directors and shareholders, of which the University of Stellenbosch (SU) is the majority shareholder.
While USB offers Master Degrees and the MBA, USB-ED only focuses on the short courses and programmes. Unlike other Business Schools, the USB and USB-ED operate separately. Not to confuse the client too much, the two brands may look different, but they should not look like two completely different companies.
1.2 What we do: Open Enrolment programmes - for Individuals: who enrol for specific business development short courses / programmes. Corporate partnership programmes - for companies: on demand, tailored in-house and fully customised programmes.Strategic consultingCurrent taglines: “Your partner in world-class business learning” ; “Inspiring thought leadership across Africa”.
limited access to credit, emerging markets, a double dipping recession, the triple bottom line, the need for governance, whether targets are being met, what the best practises are, etc.What they are saying: Needing the tools, qualifications and network, wanting to be globally competitive, etc.What they are feeling: Wanting security, flexibility, material possessions, confidence, personal development. Feeling uncertain about the future, wanting to be able to make the right decisions when the time comes - the desire for ‘wisdom’ and not for yesterday’s knowledge.

1.0 Understanding the USB-ED background
1.3 Competitive Positioning in briefInternational brands, with well recognised names and faculty as backing, such as Duke and Henley.GIBS is a major South African competitor. Our product offering and costing are very similar, and we are about the same age. USB-ED’s main differentiators:The lineage with Stellenbosch, having a noble vision for Africa and the Centres of Excellence (Centre for Project Management Intelligence, Centre for Applied Entrepreneurship, Centre for Business in Society) which address needs in Africa’s business develop-ment learning.
1.4 Target Audience Who we are talking toIndividuals: Corporate employees, managers, CEOs, entrepreneurs, specialists, etc. The levels of management to be pitched to, however, differs: - Executives/enterprise manager - Senior Manager: manages managers - Middle Manager: manages others - New Manager: manages self / supervisorDiscipline specific courses can apply through all levels.Organisations: Corporates in public sector, government, NGOs, strategic HR managers, directors, senior line-managers, etc.
Key insights about the mindset of the target audienceWhat they are seeing: Economic change, the need to differentiate, recession, need to spot opportunities, technological changes happening fast, the complexity theory, the need competitive advantage, global pressures, etc.What they are hearing: Current issues including crime, corruption, regulation and compliance, CSR,
Color is central in establishing an immediately recognizable visual identity. To maintain the integrity of the USB-ED brand, the primary three corporate colours must be adhered to, but secondary colours and tints are added to the palette for aesthetic purposes.
2.1 USB-ED’s color library
The USB-ED Branding Guide is designed to ensure that we, as a company moving into Africa, com-municate the personality and attributes consist-ently in all countries. It is only by working together and utilizing these guidelines that every market will benefit from the synergy of a carefully executed global brand. Of course, we need to be flexible to account for an individual country’s cultures and needs, but must always maintain the integrity of the core branding campaign. It is each country’s responsibility to determine what works best based on local LMR.
Consistency in the use of design enhances communication effectiveness, builds familiarity, and strengthens the USB-ED brand.
2.1 Brand prersonalityUSB-ED is the younger, faster and more ambitious sibling to USB, but we are not ‘sexy’. Our target audience is different to theirs. They appeal to the potential full-time student. We appeal to the aspiring executive who wants to develop his business acumen while working in the field. We are understated, hopeful and optimistic about Africa’s future and possibilities - driven by a philosophical CEO.
Our quiet confidence comes from the US heritage, history and depth/wealth of character and culture. But our focus is shifting. It is not about the Stellen-bosch ‘place’ anymore. Our heritage and confidence must be conveyed in the philosophy of the ‘what and how we do it’ space. It’s about a customised and designed approach to learning, our desire to give more than we take, to create sustainable life-long relationships and the strive for wise and courageous leaders in Africa.

2.2 Tone (of the design)Brave / Executive / Business Lounge / Dark sophisticated design / Upmarket / Professional / Interpersonal.
The tone must speak to black diamonds all over Africa. It is, however, important to balance our ‘understated’ nature with a dark, sophisticated, expensive look and feel.
USB-ED leans towards clean, simple, spacious and striking designs - striving for ‘classic and timeless’, not trendy.
As people tend not to read so much anymore, we would like to experiment with infographics, and be generally more visually grabbing.
3.0 The USB-ED Colour Palette2.0 USB-ED, the brand
Primary branding colorsUSB-ED’s grey, green and red are the primary colors of the brand and should be used prominently across all com-munications. Red being the primary highlight colour.
Secondary branding colorsTints of very similar colours to the USB-ED grey, green and red can be used in combination with the primary branding colors to enhance USB-ED’s communica-tions in a complementary way.For brochure and folder covers, the Pantone Black 7C 80% is used as background colour.
Handle with care.Centre logos all have a red strip with Centre name below the USB-ED logo. The WRFY logo’s red strip is in the shape of a bookmark.
4.1 Clear spaceThe USB-ED logo must never be crowded by other elements on the page. It should be surrounded by a field of clear space, ensuring its legibility and graphic impact. When materials have limited layout space, please maintain as much clear space around the logo as possible.
4.2 Logo use on colored backgroundsA white background showcasing the logo in its full color is preferred as it maximizes clarity and impact. The design of a particular piece may necessitate its placement against alternate background colors. When a back-ground color other than white is necessary, particularly when darker colors are used, the logo may be “reversed out.” Below are two prefered variations of the knockout logo for use in these instances. Rules for the usage of the logo remain the same.

4.3 Unacceptable use It is important that the logo never be reproduced at such a small scale that its visibility, impact and legibility are compromised. There are no exceptions.
This page shows examples of unacceptable usage for the USB-ED logo. It is critical that the USB-ED logo is used consistently and appropriately across all pieces to maintain brand integrity.

4.0 The USB-ED Logo
4.1 Brand typographyTo reflect a clean, modern and easily legible look and feel, the PF Din font was chosen.
4.4 PartnershipsLogos of the partners of USB-ED must be visually displayed on the left side of the USB-ED logo, and be seperated by a thin (0.25pt) gray (CMYK: 0c 0m yk 70k) line.Example:
4.5 Headers and footersKeep headers simple and clean by just using the logo on the top right hand corner, and perhaps a dotted line underneath or the company vision to the left. Letterheads must contain the SU’s logo in the footer.

The following pages outline the usage and design elements for USB-ED’s current look.
6.1 Programme category iconsEach programme category has a unique icon to help differentiate the programme grouping from the others. As the amount of programmes continue to grow, new, unique icons will be developed and utilized. The icons should appear in all marketing as far as possible.
Executive Developement Programme (EDP)
Who should attend?
You are an executive with strategic management responsibilities who wants to maximise your critical thinking ability and position your organisation to compete more successfully in a highly competitive and complex global environment.

6.5 ImagesPhotos need to be slightly saturated as seen in the image below. Inspirational photos should be used.
Images of people should represent an authentic ‘South African and African’ look. Quite often photo libraries such as iStockphoto models are too airbrushed and American looking. Illustrating the continent’s diversity is important.

6.6 Programme modulesA circular pie chart is used to indicate the modules that make up each of the four comprehensive programmes. Appropriate use of primary and secondary branding colors and typeface is to be followed.
The Research ApproachAn electronic questionnaire was distributed to 14 101 managers across South Africa during November 2013. Five hundred and eighty managers responded to the survey - reflecting a response rate of just over four percent. The majority of survey respondents represent organisations located in Gauteng (53.3%) followed by the Western Cape (27.6%) and KwaZulu Natal (9.7%). Managers from all sectors of the South African economy are represented, with the majority in the financial intermediation (25%) and manufacturing (24.5%) sectors.
Most (64.3%) of the managers that participated in the survey represent private sector organisations and occupy senior management positions (44.1%). Just over a third of respondents have between one and five employees reporting to them. Twenty nine percent have between six and ten employees reporting directly to them, while 22.6 percent have more than 20 employees reporting to them.
Small, medium and large companies are represented in the survey, with the majority of respondents (32.4%) working for companies that employ between 50 and 500 employees.
Almost 74 percent of respondents are male, while 71.7 percent are white. Ninety five percent are South Africans and 47 percent have been working for their organisations for more than ten years. Almost 52 percent of respondents earn in excess of one million rand per year.
Refer to Appendix A for a detailed breakdown of survey respondents.
