In the company’s new Brand Communication Guidelines shared
with employees all around the world, LG outlined the new direction for the
brand to connect with customers across countries and generations, including
Generation Z, and ultimately establish itself as an iconic brand, the South
Korean consumer electronics giant said.
“The Brand Communication Guidelines reiterate the core
values of LG which include‘Uncompromising Customer Experience,’ ‘Human-centered
Innovation’ and ‘Warmth to Power a Smile'”, it added.
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.
According to LG, it revamped its visual identity to increase
interaction while maintaining “the warmth and sense of togetherness of the
brand”. The brand symbol can now perform eight unique motions, engaging
customers with a new level of expressiveness, such as greeting customers with a
friendly smile or moving along with background music on digital platforms.
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.

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.
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. Cleverly integrated into the typeface are shapes inspired by various
LG products.

better communicate our value proposition and unique identity, which
harmonically blends innovation and warmth,” said William Cho, CEO of LG Electronics.
