More Consumer-focused Logo and Slogan Emphasizes Innovation
Oakland, Calif., December 31, 2014— ZTE USA, the fourth largest smartphone manufacturer in the U.S. and second largest in the off-contract market*, kicked off the New Year early by unveiling its new global brand identity in the U.S. today at a Golden State Warriors home game at Oracle Arena. The more consumer-focused branding includes a new logo and tagline, “Tomorrow never waits,” marking the 30th anniversary of the company and emphasizing its focus on transformative mobile technology solutions for its consumers and carrier partners. While ZTE introduced its new brand identity yesterday at an event in Hong Kong, this was the first time the company brought it to the U.S. as part of its relationship as the official smartphone of the Golden State Warriors.
