Stater Bros. new visual identity
Looks like Stater Bros. is on a chain-wide visual identity refresh, including a new logo that they describe as "retro modern."

Re: Stater Bros. new visual identity
I like this new logo, but I have to question what is the point of changing the logo? Is it really worth the cost?
It is tough to do a logo change across all of the buildings, items, signs, uniforms, receipts, labels, stickers in the stores, etc. When you are running two different logos, it looks sloppy.
Also there are a lot of stores with red logos out there. Fewer with blue logos. The blue Stater logo always stood out in a crowded field of red logos.

Re: Stater Bros. new visual identity
I agree. They could have integrated it into the new logo somehow. The old Font (the cooper black one)was definitely looking tired though.

I just saw a store using the new logo over the weekend. It looks great!storewanderer wrote: ↑August 16th, 2019, 3:14 pm I like this new logo, but I have to question what is the point of changing the logo? Is it really worth the cost?

The reason is simple - they want to convey an image of a modern, up-to-date supermarket. The old word mark looked old and futsy. The blue ribbon looked out of date.
Re: Stater Bros. new visual identity
The new logo pays homage to the original logo . The original logo used the same basic font but with italics and was angled up:

Re: Stater Bros. new visual identity
Up until a few years ago, the Costa Mesa store sported the old logo on the building. I'd like to see the new logo on that store.

Re: Stater Bros. new visual identity
They've kept that original logo in their "blue ribbon" that's sometimes used as in place of the "O," and is often used in their ads.
