Acer introduces a new look

Johannesburg, 08 Mar 2001

The Acer Group launched its new corporate today as part of a long-term plan to reposition its brand. The Acer red and blue diamond has disappeared, while the corporate colour is now green.

Acer says its new brand represents its evolution from a hi-tech, hardware-focused company to a softer, human-centric and "hi-touch" company.

"With the recent restructuring that included the separation of our OEM and branded business, the company is now better able to streamline end-to-end implementation, target key segments and focus on innovating around the customer," says Stan Shih, chairman and CEO of the Acer Group.

"The new identity represents Acer`s growth from a manufacturing to a knowledge-based economy, which values leadership, and innovation. It complements Acer`s business strategy which has evolved from being a hardware product-oriented company to a customer-oriented company," says Peter Ibbotson, chairman of Acer`s operations in Southern Africa.
