Italian multinational food company Barilla Group is celebrating its 145th anniversary with the launch of a brand new visual identity. The revamped brand identity includes an all-new logo and sustainable packaging upgrades. The updated Barilla logo draws inspiration from the brand's original designs dating back to its founding in 1877.
As a result, the logo is delivered in a dark and rich red hue -- much different than Barilla's iconic blue and yellow logo. And to be more sustainable, the brand will be dropping the plastic "window" that allows shoppers to see into the box. Instead, the packaging will be delivered as one uniform piece of cardboard.
In addition, as part of the brand revamp, Barilla will be launching a new pasta line called Al Bronzo, which utilizes a traditional Italian bonze die method that, according to the company, allows “for an even more intense roughness and taste.”
