Baskin Robbins Rebranding: Yay or Nay?

April 8, 2006 at 1:06 pm · Filed under Design

I was surprised to see today on 2:48 AM that Baskin Robbins have rebranded. We don’t have a Baskin Robbins in Amman, but I seriously miss that stuff(especially their cookie dough icecream).

Baskin Robbins new logo

In their new logo, which I don’t like at all, the colors stay the same but look more concentrated as the new font is heavier, and the aligned letters in the old logo are not aligned anymore. The “31″ is still there, except its not as clear- I think it looks odd.

So what do you guys say? Yay or nay?




Did you enjoy this? Be awesome and share:

    Personally I like the new one.. Its “YAY” for me :D

    Nein!

    The new one looks like it’s been designed by some teenager! And it’s not clear at all!
    So really?We don’t have it in Jordan?
    Thanks for the info!I have to contact someone so you could enjoy their very berry strawberry flavored icecream for 3.5JD…….mmmM ice cream that will make someone rich![Insert Homer drooling]

    i think the older one is better, it is more professional and stands out in the crowd. however the new one describes the function of the store better, scince its an icecream store not a retail shop!

    I was so sad when BR closed…we would go in winter when it was 1/2 price!

    Ahh… for a jamoca almond fudge triple!

    It was certainly time for rebranding, but think they could do a better job. Pizza Hut did a great job, imho

    BR is such crap. But the new logo is pretty cool.

    I don’t if it’s because of that bit of conservatism in me, or the new design actually sucks, but I’ve been so used to the old design for like…the entire period of my life, that it feels really really weird looking at that new piece of crap.

    So it’s a nay for me. They need to fire their graphic designer.

    there goes my childhood!

    i dunno, maybe we just used to the classics. it’s like if all the simpsons characters were blue instead of yellow, it just wouldn’t feel right.

    The new design is the embodiment of ugliness

    me like, it brings out the childishness i always associate with eating ice-cream, now i feel like getting one myself :)

    NAYYY it sucks bigtime…

    Baskin robbins sucks in general it feels and looks so artificial.

    (However Australian ice cream, the place in abdoun is amazing).

    nayyyy! I like the old one because it’s more familiar and everyone can recognize it. The new one is confusing.

    both look horrible.

    Still not sure, but it’s kind of cool the way they’ve designed the “31″ part so that it also makes up the letters “B” and “R”. The new logo is more casual, more funky, I think. The old one, while more legible looks kind of boring and formal. The new one is more fun, which is what ice cream should be, no?
