🟢🏉 Springboks X Pick n Pay

Yesterday, the Springboks unveiled their new warm-up kit, featuring Pick n Pay front and centre.

Springbok fans lit up, though much of the chatter wasn’t about the performance on the pitch, but about that logo placement. 👀

As a lifelong Bok fan and designer, I couldn’t resist designing my take on how sponsor branding and heritage stripes can live in harmony.

Here’s my concept. Let me know what you think. 📣

We had 3 months. And a mountain of design work.

A partner agency approached us to deliver a full-scale brand and event suite for a major client in the betting world:

✅ 36 custom logos
✅ Event invitations
✅ Press releases
✅ Video content
✅ Social media assets

and more...

You name it, we built it.

And the craziest part?

It was just the three of us at Design Grid.

And we pulled it off.

Because we’re not just a design shop, we’re strategic partners.

We saw the vision.
So we rolled up our sleeves and made it happen with late nights, weekends and last-minute client requests.
No fluff. Just ex*****on.

Not because we had to. Because we wanted to.

We LOVE sports branding.

The result?

✔️ Two incredibly happy clients.
✔️ 12 athletes proud of their personal brand.
✔️ One wildly successful event.

This project reminded me of something important:

You don’t need a big team to do big things.

You need obsession.
You need grit.
You need a burning desire to do great work.

We may be a small business.

But don’t mistake that for small impact.

Here’s to the next big one.

If you’re a founder, agency or event organiser looking to deliver bold creative under pressure, let’s talk. This is where we thrive.

What does it actually take to turn a netball tournament into an unforgettable experience?

Hint: It’s more than just a venue and a scoreboard.

We recently had the opportunity to develop the visual identity for the Junior & Little League IPT25 tournament, hosted at Montague Action Sports Arena, one of South Africa’s indoor sports venues under Action Sports South Africa.

This event wasn’t just a competition. It was a celebration of rising netball talent, family support and community spirit.

Our goal?�To amplify that energy through a bold and unified brand experience across the venue.

Here’s what we delivered:

- A wall banner that served as a central backdrop for unforgettable photo moments�
- Branded selfie boards to boost social sharing and crowd interaction�
- Refreshed interior signage�
- Trophies and medals designed to feel truly earned

A powerful physical brand presence does more than decorate. It:�
• Shapes atmosphere
• Elevates experience
• And cements memories long after the final whistle.
