AfriFOODlinks

Crisp Media had the opportunity to create the logo and branding for AfriFOODlinks, a project funded by the EU that began in December 2022. The project's main goal is to improve food and nutrition security, promote positive climate and environmental effects, and develop social and ecological resilience in over 65 cities across Africa and Europe. ICLEI Africa is leading the project involving 26 partners from both continents.

The AfriFOODlinks logo focuses on the project's central themes of linkages and connection. The logo can take on various forms and ideas related to connection, governance, planning, and flow.

The patterned elements of the logo reflect African culture, cloth, and unique expressions seen across the different African countries. The lines represent multiple pathways, urban planning, or a whole-systems view from above. The logo includes zig-zags, triangles, circles, stripes, and other simplified forms of urban everyday life, such as pathways, gatherings, seeds, communities, movement, fruit, fishing nets, gardens, structures, and dwellings.

MOBILE-FRIENDLY PRICE LIST

It is essential to prioritise mobile-friendly designs, including PDF documents, to guarantee the best accessibility and user experience on different devices. This is especially significant due to the increasing demand for mobile consumption and the audience's mobile-centric preferences.

Mobile friendliness is often disregarded, even in the simplest of things, such as a price list. To address this, Crisp Media created a pricelist for Pure Karoo that is user-friendly and has clickable links to their website.
