Brand Overview

Welcome to the brand new LIFE. This is a new brand that is completely different from the past, and we will welcome more audiences to explore LIFE.

“To see life; To see the world; to eyewitness great events …to see strange things … to see and be amazed.”

—Henry Luce

What We Do

Life magazine, a trailblazing publication that spanned from 1883 to 2000, left an indelible mark on the world of journalism. Transforming from a general-interest magazine into the first all-photographic American news magazine in 1936 under Henry Luce’s stewardship, Life became a cultural touchstone. Life’s pages were graced with iconic photographs, capturing pivotal moments in history and human experience. From wartime images to the Civil Rights Movement, Life’s visual storytelling defined an era.

Life appealed to the general public, including men and women of different age groups, socio-economic backgrounds, and geographic locations across the United States. Its compelling visual storytelling and diverse content catered to a broad spectrum of interests and tastes.

New Brand Mission

Through cultivating empathy, inclusiveness and immersive perspectives, we enable people to expand their horizons so that they may live purposeful and fulfilling lives.

Logo Standards

A new brandmark has been born. This chapter clearly introduces every detail of LIFE's new logo and usage regulations.

About New Logo

Our new logo is closely related to the three keywords of empathy, inclusiveness and immersive. These three keywords are also the basic positioning of our rebranding. At the same time, three key phrases were developed based on these three keywords. They are Resonate with other people’s stories; Embrace different vision; Inspire people interaction. These three key phrases surround our new brandmark from beginning to end. I also hope that the new LIFE can be reflected through the new brandmark.

LThe logo was designed by combining the initial letter L of LIFE and the concept of a camera shutter. The expression is to allow people to look at the world through the lens and empathize with the world.

Aktiv Grotesk is a grotesque sans-serif typeface released through Dalton Maag in 2010. It has been described as a “Helvetica killer.” The designers of Aktiv Grotesk wanted to create something in between Helvetica and Univers by removing the quirks from Helvetica and adding a bit of warmth to Univers. Aktiv Grotesk is one of my personal favorite grotesques.
