Previously known as MVG which was primarily gaming orientated, the rebrand sought to reposition the offering as a programme that rewards guests across both gaming and leisure. To maintain the strong brand recognition of MVG within their existing gaming market, Circle renamed the programme as Sun MVG which allowed for complete ownability for Sun International. The repositioning was also beneficial in establishing the programme’s functionality and values within the business.
As a subtle reminder to guests about the exciting world of Sun MVG, Circle positioned the programme with a tone of voice that’s personable, friendly and generous with the pay-off line ‘It’s our pleasure’. This pay-off line illustrates that Sun MVG takes pleasure in providing guests with more opportunities by rewarding them through both gaming and leisure.

The brand development of Sun MVG included the redesign of the 4-tier playing cards. Circle designed the cards using Sun International’s Supagraphic. When the cards are placed together, the larger graphic element illustrates the Sun signature ‘S’ as a whole. This graphical design element flows throughout the Sun MVG visual language.
Sun MVG’s visual language was designed with flexibility to allowed for additional elements to be added as the brand matured, to maintain brand consistency and continuity. The primary colour palette is determined by the 4 card colours which represent the tiers being Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond. The secondary colour palette was chosen to compliment and add contrast to the card tier colours, which was referred to as the Jewel Colour Palette. The photographic style chosen by Circle illustrates a moment of ecstasy to demonstrate the euphoric feeling of spending Sun MVG Points.
