History
Originally called “Brad’s Drink,“ Pepsi has
been around since 1893 when it was created
by Caleb Bradham in his drug store. It was
renamed “Pepsi-Cola“ in 1898 after its two
main ingredients (pepsin and kola nuts). The
basis for the Pepsi logo we know today
was the 1950 post World War II design that
incorpoarted a circular bottle cap logo sign
and bright, patriotic colors

Last Life Before
In its latest 2008 redesign, Pepsi used Futura font and cool blue
colors, changing their logo mark from the horizontal white wave
in the middle of the design to a more mobile, slanted design.

Why Rebrand
But this slight change in the logo mark
and font did not bring the results many
hoped for. Pepsi kept the same colors
it’s had since 1950, which gives it a quiet
and responsible feel mixing it with a font
that strives to be young.
Pepsi is confused.
With this rebrand, Pepsi will be completely
rejuvinated with energetic colors and
electric fonts.

New Brand Narrative
The new Pepsi will have a fresher feel that is uniquely its own, aimed
primarily at people aged 15-25. It will be noticible and energetic in
such way that shocks the brand out of it’s static rut.
No longer will Pepsi be flat, quiet colors of red and blue, no longer
will it be passed over for bright red Coke.
Pepsi will pop out of the line-up of and fly off the shelves with this
new, electric design that appeals to the primary soda drinkers of
today.

Logo and It’s Creation
The new Pepsi logo keeps the circle shape
of the old logo mark, but not much else.
Designed primarily with Pepsi’s electric
taste in mind, the new logo features several
lightning bolts in a pattern reminiscent of a
soda’s fizz. The new purple colors of Pepsi
aim the drink at a new, younger audience
and the logo font remains playful to match.
