Pepsi Prebiotic Cola

Innovation · Identity · Evolution

Pepsi Prebiotic Cola introduced a new direction for the brand — combining classic cola taste with modern functional benefits through Pepsi’s first major category innovation in over two decades.

We built a visual identity that signaled a clear shift forward while remaining unmistakably Pepsi — balancing familiarity with meaningful evolution through a more contemporary, better-for-you expression.


My Role

Led creative direction for the launch identity — developing the brand system across packaging, visual identity, retail, and digital touchpoints.

Packaging Identity.

A clean, distinctive packaging system introduced a new visual language for the brand.

The white base created immediate differentiation and signaled a lighter, functional profile.

Beneath the Pepsi logo, a color-rich pedestal referenced brand heritage, while a vibrant ombré gradient conveyed bold flavor and sensory energy.

Brand Expression.

A simplified system extended the identity across touchpoints.

The ombré became a core asset across environments, supported by modern iconography and a pulse motif communicating energy and functionality.

The result was a flexible, contemporary system designed to scale across retail and digital while maintaining a distinct presence within the Pepsi portfolio.


Impact

  • Initial limited release sold out within two days, signaling strong consumer demand

  • National rollout established a new growth platform within the Pepsi portfolio
