OK Stores Brand Refresh

OK Stores, Zimbabwe

Scope of Works: Brand Design, Interior Design, Technical Documentation


With over 50 years of history in Zimbabwe, OK Supermarket needed a fresh identity to step away from its association with the South African brand while preserving its core essence and brand equity. Our approach aimed to modernize the brand while retaining familiarity and nostalgia.

Our goal was to rebrand OK Supermarket to reflect a more modern and independent identity, emphasizing happiness as the central theme. While retaining the core essence and brand equity, we aimed to infuse the brand with vibrancy and warmth.



Color Evolution
Retaining the iconic red color, we opted for a juicier and punchier tone to modernize the brand's visual identity while maintaining its heritage.

Modern Typography
We updated the logo with a modern font that conveys forward movement and dynamism, reflecting the brand's evolution.

Nod to Tradition
In a nod to the brand's traditional heritage, we selected a secondary font inspired by traditional signwriting, adding depth and character to the brand's visual language.

Mood and Tone
"More Happiness" became the guiding principle, infusing every brand touchpoint with joy and warmth. From fun patterns to customer-based photography and a warm local tone of voice, we aimed to bring smiles to people's faces.

Bold and Punchy
The use of only red and white on most touchpoints maintains a bold and punchy aesthetic, ensuring the brand's visibility and impact.


Updated Logo
The new logo features a modern font with forward movement, retaining the iconic red color for instant recognition.

Secondary Font
Inspired by traditional signwriting, the secondary font adds character and depth, complementing the modern typography.

Brand Touchpoints
From packaging to advertising, fun patterns and customer-based photography infuse vibrancy and warmth into every interaction.

Color Scheme
The bold use of red and white creates a punchy and impactful visual identity, ensuring the brand stands out in the marketplace.
