End 2025 on a caffeine high! We are teaming up with the crew at New Noise Studio for a coffee hangout at the Bean Green shop tomorrow (Friday) between 8 and 10 am. We'll be giving away 80 FREE coffees to the first lucky people who come through!

New Noise's resident designer and selecta .sabelwe aka Ulovanje will be dropping some of his favourite tunes on the store record player.

We are also giving away a free button badge with every purchase of a 500g or 1kg bag of coffee, for anyone who wants to pick up a little something for anyone you love (or hate) for Christmas. Our new packs feature the branding that New Noise designed for the shop last year, so we will also throw in a New Noise badge for anyone who is keen.

Enough is enough.

When Harare-based interior architecture studio Spacework approached us for a brand refresh, we knew the solution wasn't just a new font. The assignment was to define a simple, cohesive visual language that is contemporary and reflects their goal of positioning themselves internationally.

We love brand identity projects because we thrive on giving ambitious businesses a fresh canvas to show up differently and grow successfully. Our process ensures a resolved identity that cuts through the noise.

For Spacework, the result is a bold, reductive system that lets their design and approach to work speak for itself.

The European Film Festival 2025 kicks off today!

This is the 5th year that we’ve had the opportunity to design the festival identity for the European Film Festival in South Africa, and we are very proud of the progression and ex*****on of this identity alongside the team who have taken over the organisation of this event.

We dubbed the design direction as “Modern Pop(corn)”, which drew reference from striking, modern, and geometric design. The design has global appeal while also embracing a modern South African aesthetic that is unapologetically bold and colourful.

We presented the festival design with a social media look and feel to set the tone for the digital rollout for this year. Other elements include the festival website, as well as adaptations of the graphic for various branding elements like pull up banners, media walls and the motion animation, created by our friends .

Check out the festival screenings in Cape Town and Joburg and also a selection of films taking place online for free.

In April this year, groundWork opened a powerful legacy exhibition at the KZNSA Gallery, titled “groundWork: 25 Years of Activism for Environmental Justice”. The exhibition included a vast archive of their printed publications, posters, and banners.

We were already in the initial stages of a layout design project involving groundWork, DUT and LUMEC, so this was an incredible source of inspiration. We got to physically engage with years of groundWork’s campaign materials, which directly informed our work and understanding of what the organisation stands for.

We design and lay out reports, brand guidelines and catalogues for various industries, but the research and referencing process behind this project was definitely a highlight.

More about groundWork:

Established in 1999, groundWork Friends of the Earth South Africa is a principles driven non-profit environmental justice organisation working towards a just transition and open democracy in South Africa and beyond. Its vision is that “people live well with each other and with the earth”. To realise this vision, groundWork partners with affected communities to resist dirty energy and toxic production, building solidarity and local alliances that advocate for open debate and democratic control over resources such as energy, waste and health towards a viable future.

groundWork works with community organisations, peoples’ movements, and other civil society actors to hold government and corporates to account, and challenge environmental racism and injustice on the ground. It works to support and link people’s struggles to realise their constitutional right to an environment that is not harmful to their health and well-being.

We don’t post enough about , and that’s probably because she’s usually the one documenting everything we do over here at New Noise. So on this Friday, during Women’s Month, and around five years after she officially joined the company, there’s no better time than the present to change that.

Some clichés exist for a good reason. “Behind every successful man is a woman” truly rings true for me. Without Zweli’s support nine years ago, when I decided to break away and build something of my own, I wouldn’t have made it this far. She didn’t just support me; she decided to join me in my pursuits. Today, she’s not only a valuable part of the team but also a majority shareholder and co-director of New Noise. (And an amazing mother to our boy, Neo).

Zweli’s unwavering sense of style and laser-sharp discernment give her all the tools she needs to be an excellent Creative Director and designer. She is a true leader who doesn’t even need to try, or sometimes, believe she can be. I am grateful to call her my partner in life and in business, and I’m excited to see what the future has in store for us as we pursue our personal and professional dreams.

Wrapped up! Our work on this year’s Durban Film Mart is complete. It’s our second year defining and deploying an intense digital marketing campaign for this powerful film industry event, and this time, we also ran the socials over the 4-day event.

Huge thanks to our team for all the effort they poured in, and a shoutout to the rest of the core members not pictured here: Mia (.sa), Lindo, and Wanele – who were fundamental to the success of this project.
