Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Pepsi recently unveiled a new logo and visual identity system — the first update of the iconic Pepsi globe logo in 14 years. To mark the historic occasion and the brand's 125th anniversary, we released Pepsi Electric, a limited time only zero-sugar cola inspired by the new brand color of electric blue.
- Inspiration
- To amplify the launch, we created a stop-you-in-your-tracks influencer kit that harnessed the distinctive black and blue world of Pepsi. The unexpected design centered on the iconic Pepsi Globe and Pulse, presented in a special box featuring a dramatic light-up label highlighting the unique blue color of Pepsi Electric. The bold design of Pepsi Electric reflects our challenger spirit and Thirsty for More attitude.
