    Thrax I caught this last week, and I thought the new package was better.
  2. Linc
    Linc I really thought the new package made it look generic and valu-branded.

    Thrax I'm a sucker for minimalism, so I thought the new package's clean lines, crisp font and simplicity was really nice. :(

    Kwitko I agree with Lincoln. The font is nothing special and the juice glass looks abstract from far away. Not a great rebrand.

    Agree... too plain and I've seen the package personally and it WAS tough to determine the difference. Tropicana means an orange with a straw...done.

    GnomeQueen I also agree with the Linkeebs. I heard that they're going back to the old logo now.

    Yes, they "listened to the public" (or, said "OMFG SALES WTF") and reverted quickly.

    I don't give a donkey's butt about the brand and label. We grocery shop based on the fine print - contents, then on price. The grocery store brand or Costco labels suit me fine as long as the contents are quality.

    DrLiam Tropicana can do what-ever they want . . . just don't #Q@% with my straw in the orange logo.

    That is all.

    chrisWhite Worst rebrand ever? Yeah, no kidding. The old image was so iconic, the new one is so Walmart only generic brand orange juice. Who greenlit this anyway?

    I concur. I think the packaging looks considerably smarter and a lot less tacky. Mind you.. I have noticed how my US colleagues love the tacky.

Howdy, Stranger!
