first look at Absa&#8217;s new bank branches"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Absa has launched its brand redesign, showing off a new logo and colour scheme as part of its shift from a European-owned financial group to a proudly African firm.<\/p>\n<p>As part of its presentation on Wednesday (11 July), Absa explained that the redesign would include hundreds of thousands of changes &#8211; with everything from clothing to pens now featuring the new logo.<\/p>\n<p>This redesign will also include a shake-up of existing bank branches and ATMs, with an Absa spokesperson confirming to BusinessTech\u00a0that its full network of more than 600 branches will be updated within the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.co.za\/absa-logo-change-500-000-pieces-and-ivr-messages-2018-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Business Insider<\/a><\/strong>, Absa said that these\u00a0changes will take some 10 months to complete, with three branches and 15 ATMs scheduled to be rebranded per day.<\/p>\n<p>The below images taken from the launch presentation give an idea of the aesthetics of Absa&#8217;s new branches &#8211; with the group&#8217;s new colour scheme and logo featuring prominently.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation also gave an idea of what to expect from the bank&#8217;s newly-branded ATM machines, and the thousands of branded items that will feature Absa&#8217;s new logo.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a  data-lightbox=\"post-image\"
