New Wonder Bread Logo

Brand New Corporate branding and identity blog Brand New compares Wonder Bread's new and old logos. The group behind the logo, Willoughby Design, says: Needing to recapture a #1 position in the market, Willoughby and Wonder Bread took a new look at the red, yellow and blue balloons, explored a more grown-up typeface, and dialed up the sophistication of the design system overall in order to broaden the brand’s reach to meet the growing demands of this older demographic. I'm not sure I get the sense of sophistication—I mostly see that the rightmost balloon has transformed into a blue "arm."

A Day Portrayed in Brand Logos

Jane, an advertising account executive, documents a day of her life in brand logos in the form of her "Brand-Timeline Portrait" with some food-related bits here and there (although I assume the Whiskas is for her cat). My favorite part of her day is when the clock strikes 5:49: it's all about the beer and cigarettes. Would your daily brand-timeline portrait also include Jane's regulars of Quiznos, Pepsi, and Starbucks? [via neatorama]...

Can the New Starbucks Logo Just Wear a Turtleneck?

Last month, we told you what coffee drinkers thought of the new Starbucks Pike Place Roast. Everything from "kinda watery" to "real strong." But who cares about the coffee; we should have asked about them about the mermaid's sassy new look. Er, old look, since the breast-baring image is a throwback to the original Seattle store's logo. Nicknamed the "Slutbucks" controversy, the redesign had one conservative group bickering and covering children's eyes. Well, they can simmer because Starbucks recently announced, "we will be returning to the standard green logo in a few weeks." Apparently, this was not in reaction to critics, but always part of the plan: roll out the "heritage logo" for an eight-week long Pike Place Roast launch,...

WNBA Players Will Wear Jerseys With a McDonald's Logo

Artist's rendering of the future of sports, which unsettlingly resembles the extreme commercialism and marketing-controlled future depicted in comedy movie Idiocracy. Looking at a WNBA jersey will soon make your subconscious crave a greasy Southern-style chicken sandwich. As part of an ad campaign for their Chick-Fil-A-ish creation, McDonalds is branding all fourteen WNBA team jerseys with the Double Arches. The iconic logo will also sneak up on pole pads, seat backs, on-court decals and other courtside signage during the league's season-opening week. When asked if other corporate sponsors could soon nab jersey space, WNBA President Donna Orender responded with the late McDonalds adage. "It could happen."
