The man with the bushy mustache and hair parted down the middle is none other than Mr. Julius Pringle. Mr. Pringles, who always convinced you to put your hands inside the tubular container, is one of the most popular brand mascots<\/a> in the world today. We will talk about him and the Pringles logo in great detail but let\u2019s first look into how it all began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1965, chemist Fredric J. Baur began designing saddle-shaped chips. Baur was successful in designing them but fell short of making them palatable. However, Baur is credited for selecting the tubular can for the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alexander Liepa, another Procter & Gamble researcher, improved the chip\u2019s taste. Although Baur designed the product, Alexander\u2019s name is on the patent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1968, P&G began selling and marketing the product in Indiana. Soon, Pringles was available across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The product was distributed and marketed internationally from 1991. The catchy Pringles slogans such as \u201cOnce you pop, the fun don\u2019t stop\u201d and \u201cOnce you pop, you can\u2019t stop\u201d became as popular as the product itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Related:<\/strong> Pringles Slogan: \u201cOnce You Pop, The Fun Don\u2019t Stop\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Pringles logo comprises Mr. Julius Pringle\u2019s head and the wordmark right below it. There has been a lot of debate surrounding the identity of Mr. Pringles. Just like the name, the Pringles man\u2019s history is shrouded in mystery. However, there are a few contributors who played an important role in developing Mr. Julius Pringles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apart from chemist Baur and researcher Liepa, Gene Wolf played an important role. Wolfe, the science fiction writer and a mechanical engineer, helped build the machine that cooked the delicious product. As for Mr. Pringles\u2019 identity, it is still hidden from the world! <\/p>\n\n\n\n The visual identity of Pringles has remained the same since its inception, albeit with a few modifications over the years. We will explore every emblem adopted by the brand in Pringles\u2019 logo history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The old Pringles logo <\/strong>featured an oval-shaped man\u2019s face outlined in thick black with red and black hair and a heavy mustache. The cheeks were designed using a striped red and white pattern. The wordmark in yellow and black was placed beneath the man\u2019s head. The man is popularly known as Mr. Julius Pringles and is among the most iconic mascots in the world today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1986, \u201cPringle\u2019s\u201d tweaked its name: the brand now called itself “Pringles.” Along with tweaking the brand name, Pringles made changes to its visual identity. Mr. Pringles was given a makeover as well\u2014his face and eyes became circular while his mustache became rounded. For the wordmark, Pringles chose a sans serif typeface. The logo had a fun vibe, which instantly attracted people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pringles tweaked its logo almost after a decade. The emblem was positioned diagonally along with receiving a brighter color palette. Mr. Pringles no longer had his rounded mouth and the patterned cheeks. The bright red color was replaced with earthy brown, making Mr. Pringle look a little more stylish. The wordmark became cleaner, brighter, and energetic. The 1996 version of the logo looked neat and fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The brand took a fancier turn in 2002 as the image of Mr. Pringles received more detailing. Mr. Pringles\u2019 hair and mustache became light brown while he lost his eyebrows. Mr. Pringles was given a red bow tie which added to the fun vibe of the logo and made him more contemporary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The 2009 version of the logo followed its previous version, albeit with a few changes. The wordmark received a white border while it retained the shadow. The red bow tie became lighter while the red background was replaced with plain white. The 2009 redesign was fresh and attractive and retained its child-like energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have been searching \u201cNew Pringles Logo\u201d <\/strong>to see if the popular snack brand recently tweaked its logo, then you are in for a surprise. You may now expect Mr. Julius Pringles in a new avatar.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr. P has gone bald, his eyes are beadier, and his eyebrows are more expressive.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pringles’ new look has been created by design studio Jones Knowles Ritchie (JKR). The new Pringles logo includes an updated look and new packaging.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pete Matthews, Pringles’ brand design director, mentions,\u00a0\u201cThe intention with the new look is to simplify and modernize the design, giving the brand\u2019s mascot a bold makeover and highlighting the stackability of the crisps across the range.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Pringles logo change<\/strong>, according to Della Lawrence, JKR creative director, was done to bring Mr. Julius Pringle to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pringles uses the following colors as a part of their brand identity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Red in the logo signifies passion and excitement, while yellow oozes youthful energy. White portrays purity, and brown symbolizes reliability. Black in the emblem stands for elegance. The Pringle color palette seems perfect for the potato-based crisp makers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The font used for the Pringles emblem appears very close to Bodega Sans Medium. The san serif font is designed by Greg Thompson which follows a geometric pattern. The Bodega Sans Medium has been published by the Font Bureau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ask any good designer, and he will tell you how a number of great-looking logos failed because they couldn’t communicate the brand\u2019s personality. You must keep your brand\u2019s mission, vision, and values (elements that make brand personality) in mind while designing your company logo<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apart from communicating the brand personality, a good logo is always relevant to the market a company targets. If your brand sells toys, then you should choose bright colors that express joy and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr. Pringles is an extension of the brand personality. He perfectly communicates Pringles\u2019 identity and is relevant to the market the brand focuses on.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA Brief History of Pringles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
