The three vibrant components of the logo image converge upon the white "Y" symbolizing Youngevity. These three parts that form the whole, represents the Company's story of threes. From the brand focus on mind, body and spirit; to the hybrid business model of direct selling, e-commerce and social selling -- Youngevity continues to build a company that is focused on being responsive to the pace of change.

 "In our 20th anniversary year, we are taking into account all of the forces reshaping our economy, we're transforming our direct sales business model to better meet today's new business reality -- the ways that people work and live -- to positively impact their lives," stated Steve Wallach, CEO and Co-Founder of Youngevity. "With omni-direct, we offer the Youngevity consumer and selling community true flexibility in their interactions and transactions with the Company. People are looking for a personalized, technologically welcoming experience that leverages the new gig economy. And Youngevity offers a gig with passion, personality and community."

"Youngevity represents a family of brands from the six top-selling retail categories, and multiple points of engagement with those brands," continues Dave Briskie, President and CFO of Youngevity. "If you are a consumer, you can shop directly on our web site or through our Associates' replicated websites; opt for a personalized purchase experience with one of our Associates; and attend or host a Youngevity Social to learn about and experience our diverse line of products in a relaxed environment. As an Associate, you can build your business -- or gig -- in a way that meets your personal business objectives."
