Since 1971, Findus has used a red and white "flag" as its logo. The "Findus flag" received major refresh in 1987 when it adopted the Crillee typeface it has used until now. It has since been given minor updates, for example a red rectangle behind the flag became a permanent part of the logo in 2001, manifesting itself as a red "strap" or "ribbon" which ran from top to bottom to the right on most packaging.
Early this year, the Findus introduced a refreshed logo. The red "ribbon" was dropped and replaced by a less intrusive "background plate". Research had shown that the flag and flagpole were important, and are kept with only minor changes.
"We wanted a more modern and softer image. Our new logo is also more flexible, something which was of importance for the packaging design. The logo colour has also become warmer and there is an element of yellow in the red logo." - Elisabeth Yllfors, market director Findus Sweden in a press releaseAccording to Findus, two agencies were involved in the rebrand, and the final version was created by the Stockholm design agency Pond Innovation & Design, who had previously done some packaging design for Findus.
