About LG
Electronics brand of a South Korean conglomerate
LG Corporation, formerly known as Lucky-Goldstar, is a South Korean conglomerate founded by Koo In-hwoi in 1947 and headquartered in the LG Twin Towers in Yeouido-dong, Seoul. Its subsidiaries include LG Electronics, LG Display, LG Uplus, LG Chem and LG Energy Solution.
LG Electronics began in 1958 as GoldStar, which produced South Korea’s first radios, televisions, refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners. Lucky and GoldStar merged to form Lucky-Goldstar in 1983, and the group took the name LG in 1995.
The LG symbol, which the company calls the “Face of the Future”, is a round red smiling face that incorporates the letters L and G. LG Corp. says it was inspired by an artifact known as the “Smile of Silla”.
The symbol has been kept since 1995. In December 2014 the lettering was enlarged and given a new typeface, and in 2023 LG Electronics added motion and a new red, LG Active Red, to the identity.

Design context
Logo design & typography notes
LG Corp. says one eye of the face, formed by the L and the G, stands for goal orientation, concentration and smiling, and that the asymmetric blank space on the right stands for creativity and the ability to adapt to change.
According to LG Corp., the name Lucky Goldstar was considered too long for overseas consumers, and LG was chosen as the new group name after a survey of employees and of domestic and overseas customers.
From the researched record (AI-assisted source review); see research sources.
Researched typography noteUntil December 2014 the LG wordmark was set in Helvetica. It was then changed to LG Smart, LG’s custom corporate typeface since 2013.
Logo lettering can differ from a brand’s corporate typefaces.
