CREATIVE FASHION MERCHANDISING

October/November 2000


Levi’s Debuts In-Store Branding Campaign

Levi Strauss & Co. has launched a global branding campaign focusing on the traditional Levi’s red Tab Device that has adorned the Company’s jeans for decades.

“Everyone knows that little red tab,” said David Rivera, Account Manager, Store Design, Levi Strauss. “In the consumer’s mind, the red tab is synonymous with Levi’s.”

Signage featuring the Levi’s red Tab Device is being rolled out to the Company’s retail partners worldwide. The goal of the campaign is to simplify Levi’s brand imagery in stores. The new look features a Levi’s red tab device on each end of a horizontal graphic.

Sears chose to mount the new Levi’s red Tab Device graphics on black Gatorfoam board from International Paper, Statesville, NC. Some 12,000 signs were produced for Sears’ 920 Sears stores.
