In the U.S. and other English-speaking markets, the app is known as LIVIT. Going forward, the company will be known as 17LIVE, unified in all markets, and pronounced as “one seven live” for global brand positioning purposes.

New Mission:

To Empower Human Connections through Live Technology.

New Logo:

     

The logo’s emphasis on the numbers 1 and 7 represents the idea of “connecting together across seven continents, under one sky.” The red symbolises the dynamism of live streaming, and the white signifies the unplanned, unscripted “real” aspect of live performances. In addition, the red color evokes the image of the “ON AIR” sign, which indicates that a live broadcast is in progress. Just as television and radio nurtured popular culture in the past, 17LIVE seeks to be a platform that creates the culture of the 21st century.

Hirofumi ONO, Global CEO of 17LIVE said, “17LIVE was founded in Taiwan in 2015. Since then, we have expanded and have been providing services in Japan since 2017. Today, our company has grown tremendously with offices in six countries and more than 900 employees worldwide. With a vision to further grow the live streaming platform, we will continue to create new ways of communication that enable people to connect with anyone at any moment, while exploring the power of technology that continues to evolve with the times.”
