  After bursting onto the South African scene with their first hit single The Dance it was almost a given that aKING was going places.

• Oppikoppi 06: Rock, Paper, Scissors

  "This year was difficult to choose again. However having had a few similar looking campaigns over the years, the "Rock, Paper, Scissors" campaign looked and felt a bit different." - Carel Posted Aug 07 2007, 08:13 PM by OppikoppiKrew with | with no comments Filed under: @Oppikoppi, history

• Oppikoppi 06: Wired

  "This campaign was actually part of one of the earlier student competitions. We wanted to use it then, but in the end decided on something else. From a striking perspective this poster won lots of plaudits. The Black on Yellow imagery worked great...

• Oppikoppi 04: 10

  "This was the 10 year celebration and we decided to go another route with the poster. We used a photo taken at one of the first Oppikoppi's with a very young Valiant Swart and Paul Riekert amongst the peoples. None of us could actually believe...

• Oppikoppi 03: Hond uit 'n Box

  "We decided to move the festival back to the bushveld, after being inundated by punters. This campaign was actually called "inbred" or something like that. In the end we decided to change the name - but liked the dog." - Carel "Our... Posted Aug 06 2007, 11:38 AM by OppikoppiKrew with | with no comments Filed under: @Oppikoppi, history

• Oppikoppi 02: Plunge

  "This year we tried to pick a poster which veered away from the visual imagery we had from previous years. We were wary of being caught in a rut having the same sort of posters each year. Throughout all of this we did try to keep the imagery and... Posted Aug 03 2007, 11:22 AM by OppikoppiKrew with | with no comments Filed under: @Oppikoppi, history

• Oppikoppi 01: Tuned

  "We could not decide on the winning campaign. There were a few nice options. However we were weary that moving the festival to Fountains Valley in Pretoria for the first time ever, we might have to stick to imagery people will recognize. We all loved...

• Oppikoppi 00: TREK 2000

  "We were planning the move to do a sister fest in Worcester. So the whole TREK 2000 concept worked well. The posters were simple and readable. In the foreground was a black and white person. We actually thought this might be an issue at that point... Posted Jul 31 2007, 01:04 PM by OppikoppiKrew with | with no comments Filed under: @Oppikoppi, history

• Oppikoppi 1999: Infestation

  "The flea bits had lots of permutations. This campaign had some of the most beautiful batiks for the stages. Specifically the top stage. We initially thought the flea poster might be too aggressive or look like a metal fest poster. In the end we...

• 1998: Bushveld Blast

  This was one of the all time favourite campaigns. Not only did it capture the vibe of Oppikoppi, it was also a great design. All the elements came together well. The speaker/ bushveld combo worked great on all the shirts, posters etc. This was one of... Posted Jul 27 2007, 11:06 AM by OppikoppiKrew with | with no comments Filed under: @Oppikoppi, history

• Oppikoppi 1997: One Big Bang

  "Kelly went to the UK and we could not use him again. Rather than going to companies we decided to start a competition with the University of Pretoria. The winning group's design was used. By now we were adamant to just get the name OppiKoppi... Posted Jul 25 2007, 10:21 PM by OppikoppiKrew with | with no comments Filed under: @Oppikoppi, history

• Oppikoppi 1996: Stress relief from everyday situations

  "We all loved the dog almost from the word go, and the simple design without band names. Going with this design off course was the introduction of Phleki the - now notorious - Oppikoppi logo. Afterwards we realized the font was wrong in the readability... Posted Jul 24 2007, 08:56 PM by OppikoppiKrew with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: @Oppikoppi, history
