Signet Armorlite has announced that the SA-X Factor Competition winning name is…SA-Xcel. Congratulations to Mr Than Wai, of the Retina Medical Eye Centre who was the lucky winner of the Toshiba Laptop. Out of all of the entries Mr Wai took great care in not only creating a name which utilises the SA brand but also combined it with a well known computer term. As well as this, Mr Wai went beyond just thinking about the name, he also submitted reasons for the new name: X = eXcellent near and intermediate range C = Comfort and clear wider central field E = Enhanced vision up to 4 metres L = Low distortion and long corridor ‘We put our trust in the optical profession to create a name for Signet Armorlite’s new occupational lens and were delighted to see so many participating. The judges felt that the name submitted by Mr Wai worked for everyone; Signet, the dispenser and the consumer. SA-Xcel Lens needs very little explanation and is perfect for a lens which is primarily used in an office-based environment.’ explains Claire Cooke, Product Marketing Manager. ‘Thank you to everyone who entered.’ For further information or to receive details of the lens call Signet Armorlite Marketing on 01452 887410.
Belgian eyewear manufacturer Theo’s latest frame collection, Cyclists, was inspired by the names of famous Belgian world cycling champions. Each of the frames in the collection features small holes, which according to Theo represent the chain wheel on a bicycle and ‘increase the expressiveness of the wearer’s eyes’. Each of the five models in the collection is made from pure titanium and comes in eight colours. Eddy was named after Eddy Merckx, Rik after Rik Van Steenbergen, Jempi after Jean-Pierre ‘Jempi’ Monseré, Yvonne after Yvonne Reynders and Johan after Johan Museeuw. ● Details: 0032 32270505.
