De Castro & Brits is an ecological consultancy based in Johannesburg.

The objective was to create a brand that was location-specific to the Gauteng area. The brand was to be symbolic of a silent respect and empathy for the natural environment of Gauteng.

Nature is our passion and we quickly realised that the most symbolic and probably one of the most significant entities of Gauteng is the rooigrass that binds the soils and feeds the grazers. We were inspired by the shapes of the grass itself and came up with the design that has become the signature of one of the top (if not the top) ecologists
in Gauteng - Tony de Castro.
