New South Construction Supply celebrated its 40 year history of "know-how" service and "can-do "attitude by updating its branding to highlight its legacy of unequaled customer service.

New South Construction Supply Revamps Branding

Since 1981, New South Construction Supply has been the goto construction supply and building materials provider for commercial and residential contractors in the Southeast. They specialize in providing concrete and masonry accessories, as well as waterproofing products for commercial, residential, industrial, waterproofing, restoration, and road and bridge contractors. Their customer service experts are dedicated to helping contractors get the job done ontime and on budget.
Facing the challenge of standing out to clients of all levels, New South partnered with Brains on Fire for a rebrand. I helped with the brand’s design and illustration of Kandu the Bear – an “ol’ buddy” mascot embodying New South’s strength, intelligence and confidence. This new branding was a hit; customers proudly displayed New South’s (and Kandu’s) face on their trucks. For the 40th anniversary, I was asked to update the brand to reflect New South’s legacy and iconic status.

New South Embraces Its Branding

New South’s new branding, bear mascot, and tagline have been an exciting addition to New South and its partners’ teams. They created t-shirts for crew members that reflect the bold, knowledgeable, and strong persona New South embodies. New South and its partners’ crew members proudly wear these tees while representing New South’s new image. The messaging, personality, and core values are seen throughout our on-site materials, reminding our crew members that New South is committed to always be at its best in everything we do. We’re thrilled to be embracing this new era.

Since collaborating with Justin in 2005 during his time at Brains on Fire, I have been consistently impressed by his design services. From creating our rebranded logo, which still garners compliments and recognition after nearly 20 years, to various other design projects, Justin's work has always been impeccable and delivered promptly. His designs truly speak for themselves, and I give Justin my highest recommendation.
