Eskom recently announced that it will be moving ahead with its tender to create a new logo and corporate identity, which inspired some South Africans to create their own.
South Africa's electricity supplier Eskom has come under fire after it announced that it will put a tender out for a new logo and corporate identity.

According to online reports, the embattled power utility reported a R24-billion loss in 2022/23 during its annual reports, as well as a 31% tariff hike over two years.
This report has sparked much controversy regarding the power utility's tender for a new logo after claims that the tender would be worth millions.
Although an amount was omitted from the tender document, it is believed that applicants were told to work on a figure of R5-million per entity.

This controversy inspired some South Africans to come up with free logos for the national power supplier.

So apparently, @Eskom_SA are pushing ahead with their logo redesign, which will probably cost millions.

I'm all about Good Things though, so I created this new logo that you can have for FREE.
I think it works quite nicely. pic.twitter.com/3pjRT5qEZX
While we're busy designing logos, I am going to propose that Eskom launches the new logo with an ad.

But not just any ad.
A remake of The Lion King with this playing out in the movie.
Might cost a penny but it seems that Eishkom is into frivolous spending right now. pic.twitter.com/mAnXdlsx8X
Since this is all we'll see of it. This should be the new Eskom logo. pic.twitter.com/marEJ9mr6A
