Samsung preparing for a complete brand overhaul at CES 2013 in January
Share:
The present blue Samsung logo will go away, and get replaced with new individual colors that are made to represent the brand more as a global one, rather than Korean.
Samsung’s brand identity overhaul is headed by Scott Bedbury, a man who has worked for several Nike brand programs and earlier for Starbucks.
"Even the advertising will change with products linked to lifestyle activities similar to what Nike does," according to an unnamed source.
Samsung is becoming more and more aware of the importance of design, and that transition is evident from former Creative head Choi Gee Sung taking over the CEO position last year.
And for us, it’s welcome news. We’ve gotten used to the blue Samsung logo, but it’s not something that we find particularly exciting. Let’s see how this changes in January.

I think the name "SAMSUNG" should be replaced by a "LOGO".Sammy should use premium materials like Duralium in all of their electronic gadgets.Currently Duralium is used only in Samsung 9 series laptops.Even designs should be exotic and eye catching.

Then it'll be expensive. Then Samsung will be like Apple. We don't want that would we?

And it would be pretty sweet if along with the brand overhaul they introduce the Galaxy S4, Note 10.1 v2 with a quad exynos 5 and a series 7 Gamer laptop!

sprinkle a bit of quality to the new design and you've got a winner

Yes... Take a new approach on your designs, Samsung! You already fixed Touchwiz with Nature UX, now time for some just as beautiful designs to match.

This is exciting..stage is prepping up for an ultimate clash of titans in Samsung vs Apple, in the following years.
Currently, Samsung has an edge in its business quantities, r&d and production capabilities and huge flexibility. It is the epitome of a corporate mastodon that actually works.
Apple has an edge in phenomenally defined brand identity, cohesion/coherence and impeccably focused business strategy.
Omnipotent cash reserves can in no way be overlooked or downplayed also.
With this news from Samsung, it seems they want to really shape up in the best ways possible, building on their strengths by taking notes from Apple.

Samsung need to pressure the cell carriers to STOP limiting and tier charging for data, otherwise the smart phone revolution is over and so is the rise of the hardware vendors.
