If it's Tesco, it's probably Sweet & Sour Horse with Rice.

Looks like chilli-con-cheval to me!

Aren't these equi-jokes a year past their sell by dates?

Nah, they're always good to trot out now and then.

Old logo-

Just for completeness, there was a predecessor to that logo which also used Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. This is my mock, going off memory:

That is great rdobbie. Yes, I couldn't find the earlier logo. It was like that with a circle around the man too. I liked the old Tesco logo. It was called 'Healthy Eating' before changing to 'Healthy Living'.

SirKen / dresserman reports that Tesco have sold off their photo counters to a subsidiary of Timpsons and have TUPEd the staff along with them. Interesting comments on his blog suggesting a lack of engagement, a lacklustre response from the union and a rumour that counters will be next.

I can't see how Counters would work as an independent operation. That said, Tesco's counter offer is rubbish.

Interesting. Vaguely reminiscent of the old Metro Coffee Bars; except obviously *a lot* more modern.

Going back to the East of England Co-Op, there was a report on Look East tonight about it with shots of various stores in its portfolio. As you can see they're undertaking a much needed refresh of the whole brand. The previous logo was incredibly clunky and many of their stores that I've visited are incredibly dated inside. The new look is a million times better.
