I notice Streets is using the old, iconic sticks logo on the new packaging for their Classic Vanilla Ice Cream product. Unilever should never have replaced that classic logo with the Heartbrand logo they use for their ice cream brands around the world. Anyone know the reason for the dual branding and if they intend to bring back the old logo for all Streets products?

Retro packaging for some of their brands for summer, similar to what Coke did some years ago.
Splice and Paddle Pop will also have the retro look.

I seem to remember Heart bring a Streets ice cream originally and Peterâs having a knock-off Have-a-Heart? Am I right?
I remember Peterâs had a range of Heaven varieties to compete with Magnum before they had Connoisseur. The Choc Hazelnut Heaven was the best.

Iâm wondering the same myself - according to Digital NSW its âNSW-specific ligaturesâ
I sure whoever the designer was just didnât like the way certain letters looked in the font, so âlocalisedâ them.
There are a few letters that can look very different depending on the font.
a & g are 2 of the obvious ones.

Anyone tried the Vegemite Hot Cross Buns that Coles are selling yet and if so what do you make of them?
McDonaldâs Australia senior brand manager Liz Whitbread said the limited-edition Budgy Smuggler range will be available from a mere $55 exclusively at Budgy Smuggler stores and online until stocks last.
So the company that built its business on fast food is now getting into swimwear.
Those who overindulge in Maccas are not likely to look good in budgie smugglers.

This seems to be a marketing trend at the moment for a variety of brands to have a variety of branded merch available for sale - I still canât believe people would pay for what amounts to advertising material.
