Description:
From red to green.
In 2020, the management of Vodafone New Zealand decided to buy the company back from its global owners and rebrand as a New Zealand company, run by New Zealanders for New Zealanders.
The company needed a new name, a new brand, and a new story.
The change from red to green represented both the colour of New Zealand and also a cultural change from stop to go.
Rotating the logo 90 degrees and changing its colour from red to green instantly communicated the story of change from a global giant to a kiwi owned company, in one image.
The new name, taken from the last three letters of Vodafone, and the colour change from red to green recognised Vodafone NZ’s whakapapa but also represents a new beginning as One NZ.
