– Third, project a clearer, simplified slogan to drive a modern vision of Gearbest
New Gearbest logo finally came out
Thanks to the efforts and passion of our 17 dedicated designers who have made over 40 exciting and original proposals, the new Gearbest logo was born. It’s a classic black-and-yellow smile icon transformed from the letter “G”, which looks simple, cute and energetic.
New Gearbest logo interpretation
You must be very curious about why the new logo are designed this way and what the meaning it indicates. That’s what I am going to tell you.
3 colors on the new logo
The new Gearbest logo inherits the classic black and white color of its predecessor. On that basis, a more vibrant and contemporary color is newly added, and it’s yellow. Each color shows different ideas:
White: simplicity, brilliance, and purity
Black: elegance, formality, and power
Yellow: positivity, cheerfulness, energy, and freshness
These 3 simple colors are a perfect combination to convey the mission of Gearbest: to deliver the very best experience, to showcase the highest level of professionalism to customers, and to help reinvigorate the positive energy that resides at the heart of every Gearbest visit.
Smile icon on the new logo
As we mentioned above, the smile icon is evolved from the letter “G”. It indicates Gearbest aims to be a place where all customers can feel inspired to shop at.
Text font on the new logo
Compared to the old one, the new Gearbest logo uses a text font with fewer edges, which suggests that Gearbest is a well-rounded brand enabling to offer even more options to global customers.
Brand slogan
According to the mission and characteristics of Gearbest, we set a short and impassioned slogan as Quality, Affordable, Fun.
The “Quality” indicates the premium product quality;
The “Affordable” indicates shopping should be accessible to everyone;
The “Fun” indicates the entertaining, enjoyable and engaging shopping experience.
Brand guidelines
As we can see, the new Gearbest logo contains two main elements: the smile icon and text. In terms of the text, the font and space between letters cannot be changed and cannot be used alone without the icon. The basic logo is the primary brand symbol of Gearbest, and it will be used in most cases. Beyond that, the new Gearbest logo can be used in conjunction with white or light color background. When the basic logo cannot be compatible with the monochrome application scenarios, the background color of the basic logo can be changed to black. In some particular cases when yellow is used as the Gearbest background color, there should be no frame on the smile icon. The following pictures show 4 forms of the Gearbest basic logo.
New Gearbest logo application
The new Gearbest logo will be applied to a variety of scenarios, such as billboard, phone cases, shopping bags, etc. Once the new logo is officially released, you will see it anywhere about Gearbest.
