Pepsi Philippines and BBDO Guerrero Kick-Off Pepsi’s New Visual Reveal

Pepsi Philippines together with creative agency BBDO Guerrero revealed its brand new visual identity at Pepsi Pulse 2023

Last October 8, 2023, Pepsi Philippines unveiled a dynamic, new branding identity through a celebration at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds in Pasay City. Together with creative agency BBDO Guerrero, Pepsi revealed its brand new visual identity at Pepsi Pulse 2023 – the first ever roll-out of Pepsi’s new logo outside of US. Hyping up the local tagline, Mas Masarap Maiba (It’s better to be different), Pepsi celebrates the individuality and authenticity of its audiences. 

While staying true to its rich brand heritage, the new Pepsi logo also keeps up with the times by being relatable to the youth and embodying the essence of the global Gen Z community. The new design includes a new custom typeface and a visually distinct soda can silhouette with incorporated elements of an electric blue and black pulse, synonymous with the vibrant energy that Pepsi promises for its younger audiences.

Packed with a whole day of activities, the event was hosted by social media personalities Jaz Reyes, Mikee Reyes, and Mimiyuuuh. Pepsi Pulse 2023 included performances by Filipino artists Ace Banzuelo, Filipino alternative rock band Mayonnaise, and the P-Pop group SB19.
