That would have necessitated my Tesco post being in your Sainsbury's thread though.

Maybe we need all petrol station branding talk to have its own thread. That would stop this whole sorry saga from happening again.

Or the thread renaming to "The Tesco & Other non-Morrisons or Sainsbury's Supermarket Thread".

A local Tesco Extra has undergone a major refit over the summer, with new wood panelled totem, extensive new external and internal photographic signage, wood panelled deli/butcher, etc. counters... all using the old font, mostly in uppercase just to make it even more glaring. Not a trace of the new anywhere outside, bar the promo banners.

The "motorway" signage is in the new font but the mid-aisle additional pointers (where the old signs used to hang) are all resolutely old style.

Although it's all a step up from the faded blue, white and red "£ cut by scissors" look it was previously sporting, I guess that's that store cemented in a mish-mash of styles for the next 15-20 years or so.

SELs aren’t supposed to be on-brand are they? It’s certainly not something that seems to trouble other supermarkets.

They have started to appear in our local store. I think its a gradual process.

JS have always kept their SELs consistent with their branding, even when they went through that brief period using that god-awful slab font.

It seems they've helpfully designed them for the vision impaired.

So, er, some Willow Farm chicken has just been repackaged Lidl rejects.

Tesco admits error over repackaging of returned Lidl chicken

Good grief, the new Tesco SELs look awful with such big text for the price.

I'm sure people with poor eyesight share your concern for aesthetics over function.
