Creative Careers will be the first online career portal that caters exclusively for these industries.

There will be three kinds of clients:
1. Job seekers
2. Job advertisers
3. General product/ event advertisers

The web address is www.creativecareers.co.za, and the site is scheduled to go live during January 2011.

The logo needs to be truly unique, but it doesn’t need to include a symbol – it could simply be built and designed around the font and the wording. It needs to represent all the creative industries in a meaningful way and must also be:
 Happy
 Simple
 Sophisticated
 Modern
 CREATIVE

The slogan is:
“Work opportunities in South Africa’s music, dance, art and entertainment industries.”
This slogan will more often than not appear with the logo.
