Vita Coco, one of the leading vendors of coconut water in the global market, has changed its packaging and logo.

According to the company statements, despite the higher costs, Vita Coco uses only fresh coconut water not concentrate in all its produce, that has become one of its key points of distinction from competitors. Established in 2004, New York-based company managed not…

Last weekend, Elon Musk announced “Not sure what subtle clues gave it way, but I like the letter X”, Musk posted on Twitter (or X.com?), while Twitter’s CEO Linda Yaccarino shared a photo with a big “X” projected on the company building. The letter is already displayed on the website, instead of the bird. Musk also said the logo is not final, and it can be “polished” in the near future. Indeed, the presented X logo is quite generic, distinguished only by a double line in the left-to-right stroke. People on the web noticed that the “X” is identical to…

The iconic soft drink brand Pepsi’s previous logo was a matter of debate, dramatically changing the visual identity of the brand. Its red, white, and blue segments were rearranged, abandoning the customary top-bottom layout, while the Pepsi wordmark was designed in a stylized lowercase font, placed outside the tricolor symbol. The company stayed, of course, successful with that emblem too, but the design caused some confusing effects which were not so favorable to the brand. With the wordmark moved aside, the logo somewhat lost its appeal, and the new font was too thin, compared to Pepsi’s classic identity. Plus, the…

The renowned Italian luxury car brand Lamborghini has updated its logo for the first time in 20 years. Following the current trend among automakers, the new emblem now showcases a flatter and more minimalist design. The new Lamborghini logo still has a form of a shield, and the general design has remained the same: the brand’s name is still displayed on the top, slightly adjusted for the new version, positioned over the iconic bull in a ready-to-attack posture. However, the change can be seen at first sight, as the shield’s bordering got thinner, and the bull is executed in a…

Launched in 2001, Vonage is an IT-company providing communication services via the Voice over Internet Protocol. It has over 2.5 million users in the US, UK and Canada. Unlike the similar companies, Vonage provides its customers with special adapters that, while connected to Internet, allow to use ordinary phones as VoIP-phones. Not exactly a successful IPO and several lawsuits over patents led the company to a B2B strategy. Changing its business policy, it introduced new services improving interacting of different enterprises and their clients. Along with technical innovations, Vonage is renewing its identity now. The new look of the company…

It’s hard to believe, but Johnson & Johnson has changed its logo for the first time in its 135-year history, and this seems to end the era of the reference logo branding, at least for the pharmaceutical and medical segment. The J&J logo is an iconic sign of the era of calligraphic logos. However, the famous personal care brand apparently feels insufficient with those classical forms and relative attributes. So the company abandons the symbol inspired by the signature of one of its founders to switch to a more modern emblem corresponding with the current branding trends in the industry….
