About Pepsi Black x Digital Shanghai FW Beverage Packaging
Pepsi Black x Digital Shanghai FW is a limited edition beverage packaging created for Shanghai Fashion Week. The packaging reflects the event theme Originate New Nature. A colorful ring surrounds the Pepsi logo, and the graphic is stretched in a single direction to suggest an extension of time and space. Deconstructed color blocks in pink and green are set against a black background for a bold, multi-layered look. Overlapping stretched graphics create a digital glitch effect that expresses the merging of the virtual and the real.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- This year, the Design Team wanted to visually capture the valuable role technology plays in our lives. Technology transforms the way we communicate and has the ability to enhance the natural reality we live in. In these designs, we explored the specific impact of technology on the world of fashion, retail, and innovation, and embraced the unlimited possibilities for the future.
- Design Challenge
- With the limited-edition packaging visuals reflecting the theme ‘Originate New Nature,’ we wanted consumers to feel a sense of extension of time and space. We paired the logo with experimental illustrations and a natural color palette of pink and green against the Pepsi Black background for a bold, multi-layered look. A colorful ring surrounds the signature Pepsi logo, with the graphic stretched in a single, futuristic direction. On pack, deconstructed color blocks were paired together to represent the beauty of breaking boundaries and the reorganization of information. We also stretched the overlapping green and pink graphics to create a feeling of a digital glitch, and the merging of virtual and reality.
- Inspiration
- For eight years now, Pepsi has been a proud strategic partner at Shanghai Fashion Week (SHFW), and the Design Team has played a crucial role in celebrating the latest innovations in fashion. Inspired by the SHFW Spring/Summer 2023 theme of ‘Originate New Nature’, Pepsi Black launched fashion-forward limited-edition packaging and an engaging, on-site virtual experience video.
