Vuna Partners

Identity design

Vuna Partners is a South African private equity investor that prioritises sustainable development with a focus on long-term value creation. We were tasked to create an identity program that included brand strategy, identity design, corporate collateral and digital design applications. The logo symbolises both the company’s name (Zulu for “harvest”) as well as their ethos of sustainable, transformative and superior value creation. A monochromatic colour palette, conveying a sense of legacy and gravitas, was paired with an ochre accent to further connote the harvest concept.

Following changes to the corporate structure of JSE-listed investment entity African Phoenix, its fund management team established Vuna Partners in late-2019 as a 100% Black-owned investment manager providing empowered equity risk capital with the aim of unlocking growth opportunities in South Africa. We were tasked to develop Vuna’s brand identity and corporate collateral in order to maximise industry visibility and assist the leadership team in closing key early acquisitions.

As part of a robust market research and brand strategy process, we developed a key positioning statement for the company: “Cultivating wealth through partnership”. This proposition inspired the brand narrative of “harvest”, which in turn anchored the entire identity system, informing everything from the logo design and colour palette, to font selection and photographic styling.
