LG refreshes its brand identity to appeal to Gen Z

LG Electronics (LG) has refreshed its brand direction and visual identity by adding a bit of a new colour, expression and typeface, which will shed more light on its value of Life's Good to give a more dynamic and youth look to appeal to Gen Z consumers.

This comes as the company's new Brand Communication Guidelines outlined the new direction for the brand to be loved by customers across countries and generations, including Gen Z, and ultimately establish itself as an iconic brand. The brand slogan, Life's Good, encompasses the message of how the company enables its customers to enjoy a quality life and indulge in precious moments via LG products, services and communication. And, as the brand mission, the company has pursued Innovation for a Better Life, contributing to the shaping of a better life and future for the planet.

The newly established brand direction includes a revamp of LG's visual identity, reinterpreting the existing warmth and sense of togetherness of the brand. The company aims to boost interaction with Gen Z customers through a new visual identity that adds vitality and interactive elements while putting a new spin on the existing brand image. 

In the digital space, the company's symbol will come to life, engaging customers with a new level of expressiveness. The brand symbol, composed of the letters 'L' and 'G,' can perform eight unique motions, including nodding, spinning and winking. With its new capabilities, the brand symbol can greet customers with a friendly smile or move along with background music on digital platforms in a variety of witty ways.

In addition to its signature LG Red color, the company will be using the more energetic LG Active Red across all customer contact points. Also, various gradient elements in LG Active Red, white and black were also introduced, offering variety as they can be applied according to the unique characteristic of each product or service.

Furthermore, the company also designed a new typeface for its Life's Good brand slogan, which will be used more widely as a brand asset in product packaging. The company plans to utilise its one-of-a-kind brand asset at all customer contact points globally throughout the year.
