Growing to become one of the world’s leading online shopping websites, with over 40 million satisfied customers gained over 5 years, Gearbest maintains the same value and mission the day it was founded: passing the good and a quality life to the world.
As we pass the fifth anniversary milestone of Gearbest and head into our sixth year, we incorporated a radical new look to better reflect our core values and vision that have carried us this far. With that in mind, we are thrilled to share this exciting and fresh new brand identity to look forward to the next five years of Gearbest’s dynamic vision.
Core Inspirations:
Last year, our design team met to address several key points regarding the direction of our new brand identity and how best to communicate this compelling experience.
- A redefinition of the underlying tone of Gearbest focusing on a brighter, more energetic brand message.
- Stay true to the Gearbest’s origins, the maintaining brand consistency of the past five years.
- Project a clearer, simplified slogan to drive a modern vision of Gearbest
Evolving into a new Gearbest:
Thanks to the efforts and passion of 17 dedicated designers, and with over 40 exciting and original proposals, the new Gearbest logo finally crystallized: a classic black-and-yellow smiley icon transformed from G.
Choice of Colour:
The new Gearbest maintains the black and white roots from the old Gearbest, while incorporating a more vibrant, contemporary color: yellow. Each realizes a progressive idea given form:
White: simplicity, brilliance, and purity
Black: elegance, formality, and power
Yellow: positivity, cheerfulness, energy, and freshness
Together, this charismatic combination of three simple colors synergizes to epitomize the mission of Gearbest: to deliver the very best experience, to showcase the highest levels of professionalism to customers, and to help reinvigorate the positive energy that resides at the heart of every Gearbest visit.

Brand Guidelines:
The new Gearbest logo contains two core elements:
- Icon
- Text: the font and space between letters cannot be changed and cannot be used alone without the icon
The basic logo is the primary official logo of Gearbest and, under most circumstances, should be the one used to represent us. The new Gearbest logo can be used in conjunction with the following background colors:
White/Light Colour
Black: can be used when the option above is incompatible.
Yellow: can be used when the option above is incompatible. In such cases, no icon background is used.
