Premier Soccer League side Platinum Stars unveiled a new logo as well as a new look on Friday as the sporting franchise re-branded itself in line with its owners, the Royal Bafokeng Nation.

A new logo, a new kit, a new home, but the same Platinum Stars that serves the people of the North West Province as the only top-flight football club in the region, and one that continues to strive to involve the local community.

The move from Johannesburg to the Phokeng region in January this year brought the club closer to the people of the North West, and helps to solidify the team within the local community it ultimately serves.

Chesterfield has a new club crest, which is being launched to coincide with the club's move to the new b2net stadium next month in what is being called the dawning of a new age.

Although the club badge changed to the more familiar roundel in 1978 it continued to incorporate the interlinked lettering for the majority of years since, and this link with the past is set to continue as is the name of the football club.

Three years after it re-opened, Wembley Stadium is gearing up for the next stage in its development by unveiling a new brand identity.

The new identity will spearhead the venue’s new four-year sponsorship programme, which will run from August this year to 2014. As part of the programme, Wembley is seeking a Lead Partner, at the apex of other ‘Official Supporter’ and ‘Official Supplier’ deals.

With increasing opportunities in digital and social media, the new identity has been designed for optimum use across these platforms. It also more accurately reflects the iconic status of the stadium for events like The FA Cup Final, the NFL International Series, music acts of monumental scale, the UEFA Champions League Final to be held at Wembley in 2011, and the football tournament of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
