How Zagg’s Branding Resonates with Today’s Youthful Energy Drink Market

 From the moment I first encountered the Zagg brand at a friend’s refrigerator, where he also shot the brand’s promotional campaign, I have maintained a keen interest in and awareness of it.

Zagg’s color and design choices collectively project a brand that provides a steady, “natural energy boost”. Embracing hope and “youthful vigor”, the brand distinguishes itself from its rivals, resonating with Africa’s young populace.

Zagg, a standout in the African energy drinks market, utilizes a blend of orange and yellow in its branding. These shades offer a fresh perspective on traditional malt colors, exuding a “natural energy boost” and “unique vitality” without the intensity of a harsh red.

They signify a more “organic energy surge”, setting Zagg apart from other energy drinks.

A bold black logo complements the lively colors. Black, often associated with power and elegance in branding, offers a sense of stability amidst the vibrant “youthful vigor” of the other colors. 

A distinct lightning bolt is featured.

This design choice is a response to the typical aggressive symbols in the energy sector.

The bolt, symbolizing “enduring vitality”, offers a less confrontational image but retains its symbolic strength, indicating consistent, uplifting energy.

The drink’s diverse ingredients are depicted using a half-tone pattern.

This design introduces a dynamic gradient, symbolizing Africa’s “unique vitality” and setting the Zagg brand apart in the energy drink landscape.

N.B: I dedicate this article to Joel Adu.

How To Use Color Theory To Enhance User Experience in E-commerce Platforms

Color theory isn’t just for artists and designers—it’s a critical aspect of user experience (UX) design that can influence how customers perceive your brand, navigate your site, and make purchasing decisions.  What is Color Theory? Color theory is the science and art of using color.
