Coca-Cola brand refresh and AI rollout

Entities: The Coca-Cola Company · Spain · Sevilla · Rapha Abreu · Project Fizzion

Overview

In late July 2026 Coca‑Cola introduced a refreshed visual identity for more than 200 markets, sharpening its red‑white palette, modernising the Spencerian script, Dynamic Ribbon and adding a new Arden Square word‑mark. The change, driven by Global Brand Head Arnab Roy and design lead Rapha Abreu, was presented as a move toward clearer, more consistent brand expression across packaging, retail and digital touchpoints. Simultaneously the company filed a U.S. trademark for “Spricy,” sparking speculation about a spicy Sprite variant, though no product details were confirmed.

A week later Coca‑Cola launched Project Fizzion, an AI‑powered brand‑governance platform built with Adobe that translates the new guidelines into a machine‑readable “StyleID.” Integrated into Adobe Creative Cloud, the system automatically checks compliance and can generate localized creative assets in real time, aiming to accelerate production while preserving the brand’s “soul.”

On 26 July the rollout reached Europe, with Spain becoming the first European market to debut the new design. The launch was tied to a youth‑focused campaign, including a free event in Sevilla’s Las Setas and a showcase at the La Velada del Año VI stadium show. Coca‑Cola Zero Azúcar received a larger “Zero Azúcar” label, a black accent band on cans and dark caps on bottles to aid line‑side identification. The Spanish launch demonstrates how Project Fizzion is being used to enforce the new guidelines across local assets as the global rollout continues.
