Actimel is a "probiotic" yogurt drink manufactured by the global dairy group Danone and sold in Europe, Latin America and North America (where it is known as DanActive). This month it has introduced a revitalised visual identity in the UK, created by Dragon Rouge in London.

The most noticeable part of the redesign is an overhaul of the brand logo, probably the most substantial redesign of Actimel's logo since its launch

Actimel's visual identity differs a bit between markets, but the logo has typically used a purple serifa for 'Acti-' and a blue san-serif for '-mel', with a yellow arch tying them together. The new logo introduces a contemporary typeface and drops the arch for a sunrise icon. A sunrise has previously featured on the Actimel bottles.

New logo: Kerrygold

Kerrygold, the brand used around the world to market products based on Irish milk, has been given a new look with a redesigned logo. The intention is to emphasize the brand's Irish origin while giving it a more emotional appearance. The new design was probably introduced earlier this year.

Previous logo.

The Kerrygold name was devised by the Irish Dairy Board in the early 1960s to market Irish butter internationally, and claims to celebrate its 50th birthday next year. According to the Kerrygold website, the previous design was introduced in 1986. It was given a slight update around 2006/2007, when a bit more gold was added.

The new version is essentially a more modern interpretation of its predecessor. All elements from the previous logo are kept, the cow, the grass and the buttercups are still there. A more contemporary typeface is used for the name, but it still mimics Celtic calligraphy. A yellow "light source" (a.k.a. gradient) has been added at the centre.

Kerrygold's German representative sent out a press release about the logo change in June, although the logo has been used for months before that, at least in other territories. In the UK, for example, it has been used at least since February.

The packaging hasn't changed radically either, still trusting its dominating golden colour.

The new logo includes a measuring tape, to show that the products are ideal "for those who love physical fitness and a natural and healthy lifestyle", but of copurse also to highlight the low percentage of fat. Other than that, the logo remains mostly the same. The new packaging also remains very similar to its predecessor.

Previous logo. (Apologies for the low resolution)

New logo: Roberts Dairy Foods

Roberts is a local dairy company based in Omaha, Nebraska. The company has just changed its named from Roberts Dairy to Robert Dairy Foods and introduced a new logo. the rationale behind the name alteration was an expanded product line.

I haven't been able to pin down the age of the old logo, but I doubt it is more than a few years old. It had a detailed painting of a barn in it, something which isn't that unusual among smaller food companies. This was all enclosed by an arch and some type, with a banner underneath proclaiming that the company is "Farmer Owned".

The new logo is an adaption from the logo already in use by its sister company, Hiland Dairy Foods in Springfield, Missouri. Other than the names and colors, the logos are essentially identical.
