Pepsi® Launches Bold New Logo with Street Art Murals in Sri Lanka
Pepsi® unveils its revamped logo with a unique street art campaign across Sri Lanka, blending vibrant murals and public art to celebrate youth and creativity.
Pepsi® has unveiled its new logo in a vibrant and exciting way through the ‘Pepsi® Street Kala’ campaign in Sri Lanka, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s 125-year legacy. The campaign is a global first, as Pepsi® introduces its refreshed identity through public art for the first time, with 17 stunning murals displayed across Sri Lanka. This innovative approach aims to make art more accessible to the public, inviting people to engage with the brand in a new and dynamic way.
The ‘Pepsi® Street Kala’ campaign was launched with a spectacular event at the Lotus Tower in Colombo, South Asia's tallest self-supported tower. The launch brought the bold new Pepsi identity to life, transforming the city’s skyline with a stunning illumination of the tower in Pepsi’s iconic colors. The event, attended by media, influencers, and local artists, was a sensory celebration of youth, creativity, and the Pepsi spirit, showcasing the brand's deep connection with Sri Lanka's vibrant culture.
Anuj Goyal, Associate Director of PepsiCo for the Area-Countries Region, explained the significance of the campaign, stating, “Pepsi has always been at the forefront of youth culture. With this initiative, we are taking that commitment to the streets of Sri Lanka, bringing our bold new logo to life through street art and helping to expand the visual narrative of Pepsi.”
The murals themselves are the heart of this campaign, strategically placed at prominent locations like the Sri Lanka Tennis Association, Nawala, and railway stations in Colombo, Wellawatte, Rathmalana, and Bambalapitiya. These murals are more than just artwork—they have become selfie hotspots, with locals and travelers capturing the stunning visuals while celebrating Pepsi’s new identity. Each mural has been designed to reflect Pepsi’s bold new logo, while honoring the unique cultural identity of Sri Lanka, highlighting food, music, sports, dance, and youth culture.
