TODAY’S DEEP DIVE
Boxes of old Jell-O pudding and gelatin products with the company's old logos surrounding a lemon-lime gelatin snack with Jell-O's new modern branding.

📰 TL;DR: Everyone’s favorite gelatinous dessert is getting a makeover. For the first time in 10 years, Jell-O revealed a new logo and updated packaging – an effort led by parent company Kraft Heinz and in partnership with agency Brand Opus.

The rebrand features a modern visual identity that Brand Opus says, “includes a still-recognizable logo that's loud, proud and simple in a font that suggests three dimensions.” The imagery leans away from real fruit images and more towards “sensorial imagery that suggests the iconic Jell-O jiggle.”

💡 Insight: Jell-O’s only the 18th Kraft Heinz brand to get a refresh over the last three years. In a time when every brand is repositioning towards “millennial branding” in muted colors and clean fonts, Jell-O’s sticking to its roots and having fun while doing it. The brand, at its’ core, is colorful and fun – they’re not trying to be something they’re not.

Not only is this rebrand fun and colorful, it’s thoughtful. By bringing in the “sensorial imagery,” Jell-O invites the buyer into the experience without taking themselves too seriously.

Jell-O knows why people are buying their product and they’re owning that reputation of childhood and youthfulness. Instead of trying to push a specific brand narrative, what if you leaned into the natural one your audience has given you?
