dont care Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I like it. Not too different but gets rid of the unnecessary details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky1324 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Definitely a solid update. It's still clearly the Pringles man and as seen by the "Scorchin" tubes the versatility of the new icon is a plus. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgundy Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I think it's too simplified. Without the brown mustache it kinda looks like he has a giant beak for a mouth. He looks like a snapping turtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSmith48 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 When I first saw that I thought it was some sort of mistake. It's alright, probably could use an outline around the white oval. Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VC// Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 After seeing the new logo, I can't even remember what the original looked like. LETS GO PENGUINS! 5x Stanley Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the previous design/packaging: I definitely think they should've kept the outline. Also, he's bald now, so there's that. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I could be overthinking this, but the new Pringles logo turns what was clearly a white guy into something more racially ambiguous; like the Hamburger Helper. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 How is that racially ambiguous? Not too many non-caucasians sporting flowing light-brown hair and full mustaches like that. EDIT: I was looking at the old packaging when I saw the hair. Even still, I don't see it as ambiguous.

BadSeed84 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Downgrade, way too simple/flat now. He looks like a bald egg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at the new Pringles man and I see this: Whereas the old Pringles man was clearly an old-timey Mumford & Son, the new guy is just a circle with a mustache. A circle and a mustache could be any race, and doesn't necessarily need to be a person at all. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That mustache can't be any race. How many Black men do you know that relax their facial hair to make it flow like that?

How many Black men do you know that relax their facial hair to make it flow like that? Perhaps. But I think you can allow that by making the mustache black and not brown, it's now more applicable to more people than it was before. I think that was the point. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Just have a different chip man for each race, and then use stereotypes to associate the appropriate chip with the most common flavor that race purchases. They could have an Asian chip man, Black chip man, Indian chip man, etc. Not sure what the down side of this approach could be.

Does it look smooth and clean? Yes. Does it look sterile, corporate, and like a half-assed attempt at minimalist modernization? Also yes. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

DG_ThenNowForever Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I guess Pringles are in the zeitgeist.

Popmart Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 The big advantage of this redesign, and I’m sure one of the driving factors, is that it opens up the package design options enormously. The previous packaging was constrained by the brown of the Pringle man’s hair. All of their packaging colours had to compliment that brown in some way. Their new packaging can be any colour of the rainbow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
