Neither of these changes really require a rebranding project or an update to the brand beyond queueing up the update to supplemental materials due for re-ordering in the future, and updates to digital photo and video media. There should be little to no incremental cost approaching it this way vs the millions involved in a major rebranding effort with a new logo, typeface and color plan.
