According to a media statement, the “logo and visual identity thoughtfully borrows equity from its 125-year history and incorporates modern elements to create a look that is unapologetically current and undeniably Pepsi”.
Key design elements include:
“The signature Pepsi pulse evokes the ‘ripple, pop and fizz’ of Pepsi-Cola with movement. It also brings the rhythm and energy of music, an important and continuing part of the Pepsi legacy,” the media statement says.
Adds Todd Kaplan, the brand’s Chief Marketing Officer: “Pepsi is an iconic brand that is constantly evolving with the times, as it has been a staple in pop culture and disrupted the category for the past 125 years.
“This new visual system brings out the best of the Pepsi brand’s rich heritage, while taking a giant leap forward to set it up for success in an increasingly digital world.”
Pepsi is part of PepsiCo, which operates in more than 200 countries and territories around the world. Its brands include Lay’s, Doritos, Cheetos, Gatorade, Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, Quaker, and SodaStream.
