American Standard unveils new brand identity

The American Standard brand has grown phenomenally across the world. The new identity brings together a nuanced, unified brand expression of empathy and closeness to consumers, together with a new brand claim of LIFE. LOVE. HOME. In the Asia-Pacific region, this milestone was celebrated with a launch event held in Bangkok, Thailand, attended by over 200 prominent guests and dignitaries.

Dependable, Inviting and Pioneering

For over a century, the American Standard brand has focused on its mission to enable everyone to create a home to love every day. The brand has always understood that it all begins with a person aspiring for a better life, and the brand has designed and crafted its bathroom and kitchen solutions around this idea.

From kitchen sinks to master bathrooms, houses to hotels, colleges to stadiums, consumers trust and continue to choose American Standard solutions to create inviting, intuitive and comfortable spaces. The brand is committed to consumers through crafting innovative, purposeful solutions that enable them to enjoy life's moments with those they care most about.

Building on this rich heritage, the new American Standard global brand identity renews its goal of improving homes around the world, while inspiring people to create homes they will love every day. Based on the new brand claim of "LIFE.LOVE.HOME", the brand colour palette of "American Standard Red" implies love and passion and evokes a closer emotional affinity with consumers. The American Standard Red will boldly unite multiple online and offline consumer touchpoints and product packaging for a seamless, multidimensional revitalization of the consumer experience.
