*. \u00a0 Wesgro is inviting investors to capitalize on the depreciation of the Rand in investing in the Western Cape, and to buy exported products from the province. Wesgro CEO Tim Harris said that the province’s skilled workforce would offer investors better value for money. Investors would benefit from the lower costs created by the weaker Rand in setting up headquarters for doing business with African countries from Cape Town.<\/p>\n

* \u00a0 Beaumont Wines has refreshed its brand look, recognizing its past, but reflecting a new era and an ‘infused inspiration for the future’<\/em>. Whitespace Creative focused on the Beaumont family crest as the core for the design, reflecting the family, its history, and its purpose. The crest has been on the wines in the past, and each member of the family proudly wears a signet ring with the family crest. The design of the crest and on the bottles differed, and was aligned by the agency to that of the ring, but modernized. The wine label is white cotton paper, printed in black, and embossed, reflecting a simple and humble Overberg working farm with white-washed walls and black tin roofs.

*. \u00a0Debbie Poswell has won the Leopard’s Leap label design competition for the Open Book Festival. She was one of 69 entrants, and chose a visual of an intelligent and curious leopard with his nose in a book, giving the label design a fun feel. The simple yet sophisticated label reflects the Leopard’s Leap brand values, and will be used as a wine label for a year. (received via media release from Amplicon PR)<\/p>\n
