Coca-Cola has made a bold move by revamping its custom packaging, realizing over years of trial and error that a single label can only reflect a passing trend. As of March this year, the company officially launched its “One Brand†strategy, aiming to unify its global brand identity under one cohesive image.
It’s no exaggeration to say that branding is like giving a product a new life. Much like how Coca-Cola designed its iconic bottle, it wasn’t just a static object—it was alive, evolving, and shaping its own destiny. The new strategy involves simplifying the color scheme of classic products such as Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero, Diet Coke, and the newly introduced Coke Life. These products are now presented in a unified package design across several European markets, including the UK, Ireland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, and parts of Northern Europe. For the first time in a while, Coca-Cola’s packaging is returning to a singular, consistent look.
This shift reflects a stronger sense of unity and belonging, backed by the creativity and effort of designers who sought the best visual representation of the theme: “Unity, yet each unique.†A global design competition was held among 11 Coca-Cola branches, with the winning design showcasing a blend of unity and individuality. The final bottles feature the iconic Coca-Cola Spencer logo along with dynamic wave patterns, available in four distinct colors—red for Classic Coke, green for Coke Life (made with natural stevia), black for Zero Sugar Coke, and silver for the sugar-free, calorie-free version.
This approach contrasts sharply with the previous “It’s Different†campaign, where Coca-Cola Israel introduced unique packaging on over two million bottles, each with a different color and design. The goal was to make fans feel special and stand out, but the effectiveness of such an approach has been questioned. After all, uniqueness isn't just about how something looks—it's about the mindset behind it. People are inherently different, not because of packaging, but because of their thoughts and identities.
After years of careful consideration, Coca-Cola has finally chosen a direction. Inspired by its slogan “Choose Happiness,†the company has made a clear decision to refocus on its core values. While “Happiness†has always been central to the brand, consumers often associate it more with traditional products than with the full range. “Choose Happiness†conveys a more proactive and inclusive message than earlier slogans like “Open Happiness†or “Share Happiness.â€
This initiative marks a fresh start for Coca-Cola. As Bobby Britain, Marketing Director for Coca-Cola UK and Ireland, stated, “With this campaign, we’re encouraging people to take action and choose happiness. This is just the beginning of our One Brand strategy, and more exciting plans are coming soon.â€
Despite a challenging year, Coca-Cola is actively working to re-engage consumers and boost sales through innovative marketing strategies. By embracing simplicity, unity, and a renewed focus on happiness, the brand is taking steps toward a brighter future.
