The party announced the new logo as part of the repositioning and rebranding of the party in preparation for the forthcoming general election which is to be held on 22 April 2009.
"What we have unveiled here today is not just a new logo, a different look. This is not a marketing exercise. It's much, much more than that.

Democratic Alliance (South Africa)
Political party in South Africa formed in 2000
The Democratic Alliance (DA) is a liberal South African political party. The party has been the second-largest in South Africa since its foundation in 2000. The party is broadly centrist,[8][9] and has also been associated with centre-right[10][11][12] policies.
It is a member of Liberal International and the Africa Liberal Network. The DA traces its roots to the founding of the anti-apartheid Progressive Party in 1959, with many mergers and name changes between that time and the present. The DA has a variety of ideologically liberal[13] tendencies, including neoliberalism,[14]social liberalism,[15]classical liberalism,[15] and conservative liberalism.[16][17] The party draws its support predominantly from Afrikaans and English speakers, people aged over 35, and white South Africans, as well as the Indian and Coloured communities.[18][19]
The current leader of the party is John Steenhuisen, who was announced as the new leader on 1 November 2020 after the party's Federal Congress. He had previously acted as the interim leader of the party from November 2019 t
