kroywen Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Saw these retro General Mills cereal boxes at Target today. Not sure what the occasion is, if any, but they're holding a contest to win retro t-shirts with these designs as well: They're all really good designs actually. Cinnamon Toast Crunch box should be made permanent (I know they just updated their design, but I love this retro box even more). EDIT: Exceeded max size for photos; more photos below.

(Though, strangely, the bee on the retro Honey Nut Cheerios box has acquired aspects of faux-3D that it didn't have on the previous box.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the occasion is, if any, I remember seeing retro boxes at a Target store a few years ago. Seems like it's a common promotion exclusively for Target. http://www.blog.generalmills.com/2015/02/its-throwback-cereal-time/ Guess Kelloggs, Nabisco, and some other companies have done similar things at Target. Even the their food brand Markey Pantry has a very retro feel. It would be cool to see more brands do it permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love for Pepsi to bring back its real logo, which could have (should have) remained intact essentially forever. (Not that I drink the stuff. I drink Coke products Caffiene Free Diet Coke and Sprite Zero. Though my favourite sodas are Diet 7-Up and, best of all, Fresca.

BadSeed84 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I hope the cool retro golden grahams box comes back. So much better than the abysmal current box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubsfan2015 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I always love it when companies go "retro". I personally love the Pringle "rewind" can back a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I prefer the 1987 logo (sans the ®), but that's just my personal preference: By the way, would it look better or worse (or weird) if the word "Pepsi" wasn't straight horizontal but rather wavy?

To me, the '87-'91 logo is by far Pepsi's best and should be what they are using right now. There is a bit less white space, but in this case, it works perfectly. And I don't think wavy text would look very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of having breakfast at my great grandmothers house. I think companies should realize how important it is to keep their branding for nearly forever. Coca-Cola does this...and it works. I use to drink Pepsi, but it tasted different when they went to this new weird globe logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
