Vodacom rebranding to Vodafone colours

There was the local unit of Vodafone, Vodacom finally doing the whole rebranding exercise, adopting the logo and changing the banner to red. Byron said it looked a bit like ABSA. I thought that was about right, the biggest shareholder, a global brand, should impose their logo and brand on the local market. An exercise that is going to cost somewhere in the region of 200 million Rand, that is a pretty hefty price tag. Not exactly a big secret, the rebranding exercise, someone had seen the red on the top of the Ponte tower a week or ten days ago. I wonder how much Vodacom pay for the usage of one of Jozi's most recognizable landmarks, that will put the rebranding exercise into context. I must admit, I like it. One brand.
