MellowTheMyth Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Post has decided to go into a new direction with their branding for Honey Comb. Any thoughts? Front View (Old v. New) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDR Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I like it. I'm interested to see what the non-promotional packaging looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 The old one was pretty bad so this definitely is an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'd lose the black outline on the side, where there's less room for everything to "breathe". Other than that, it's pretty solid; it will look even better when they drop the random green splash for "bigger flavor". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Taste wise, according to this article and comments, it tastes worse now. http://www.cerealously.net/review-honeycomb-cereal-now-with-bigger-flavor/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdinand Cesarano Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 The dropping of faux-3D is always an improvement. On top of that, the font of new wordmark is very attractive. The soft curves in the N, M, and Y are very friendly. (But I don't like that beehive thing (looks more like a ping-pong paddle) being in one of the O's.) The over-arching geometric patterning creates a pleasing and appropriate visual universe; what's more, this patterning emphasises the colour saturation, and really drives home the expectation of a honey taste. Overall, a huge upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynasty Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I forgot about this cereal. When I was a kid, I was always irked by their commercials (the ones where those people turned into those toon-like furballs when they went "crazy" for Honey Comb). Oh, the branding is an upgrade too.

Those were my first thoughts as well, but I have a feeling someone from Post sitting at the presentation felt like black lettering on a yellow box looked too much like Cheerios. http://www.derekyoder.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they could only use the white background honeycomb pattern on the side (instead of a gradient with the yellow background). Make it pop more; I think that would make it decidedly less Cheerios-like. I think the background looks pretty good on the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
