Eskom acting CEO Calib Cassim answers questions about logo tender

[Jan]

Why Eskom is considering spending millions on new logos

Eskom acting CEO Calib Cassim has said it isn’t inevitable that they will award the tender to redesign the ailing state-owned power utility’s brand identity.

Responding to questions at Eskom’s annual results presentation, Cassim explained that the tender is not only about Eskom’s logo, but about brand identities for their separate divisions.

 

[G.A.S]

Doesn't a name-change fix all of the problems?

 

[Lupus]

I vote for Eksdone... Cause that's it, it's not coming back

These divisions will be created when government’s plan to legally separate Eskom into generation, transmission, and distribution companies is executed.

Ja ja, lekker convenient to separate these entities to create more feeding opportunities. Useless kants.

 

[KleinBoontjie]

TL;DR....was it a apartheid logo??

 

[GrootVoet]

I got the perfect logo for Eskom. A nice black hole.

 

[rh1]

The sheer arrogance of the ANC to steal and steal. Last big free for all in case they lose the elections.

 

[Jefferson D'Arcy]

How is this callous imbecile still in employ of that organisation?

I like the ceo's bad excuse to waste money while they can't keep the lights on....

 

[HowTo]

Esdom should be appropriate.
Like name changes..... etc.

Someone must eat?

Just unbelievable. Leave the logo for now until generation is sorted out. They are going to waste more time and thought around logos, uniforms, repainting vehicles, etc that just getting our power sorted out. Keep the lights on first. I've realised over the years that these rebrandings and turnaround strategies have actually never borne fruit. They are just to deflect attention from dealing with the real issues everyone knows are still there.

The tenders must flow, the cadres need to eat.

 

[VooDooC]

They should just call all state owned entities, Trough 1, Trough 2, etc

Your cheque of R10m is in the mail being sent via the South African Post Office.

If we're suggesting names, I'd like to enter: DonkerKant.

Slogan can be "Welkom by DonerKant / Welcome to the dark side."

I was going to suggest printing the existing logo and then burning the paper to create "the new logo", but that donker holletjie is more appropriate.

 

[Oldfut]

The tenders must flow, the cadres need to eat.

and a new logo is just the type of tender that can be subjectively assessed and awarded to the correctly ANC connected hairdresser / teacher / cleaning company whatever.
