If it still has Co-operative branding then it'll be part of one of the non-Group societies - those stores were not included in the sale to Best One.

Judging by your location tag would that be the one at North Point shopping centre? I was there a few days ago and I noticed that oddly the pharmacy has the generic 2008 "The co-operative pharmacy" sign but the promotions in the window carried the Lincolnshire Co-op branding, despite not having the usual Lincolnshire Co-op pharmacy fascia found at their other pharmacies. That would explain the lack of a re-brand.

Ah, I didn't know that - thanks for letting me know. They'd been a bit slow to update the branding round here so I had thought they'd been even slower in Hull!

The white cloverleaf sign has been added to my local Co-Operative Food today.

Correct.

All Tiger stores internationally are about to be rebranded as Flying Tiger Copenhagen, which the company says is 'more fun'.



Unless they've got a territorial naming rights issue, why?

Sorry to drag the Co-op back up but what a transformation (admittedly with a major refurb) from this:

Obviously not all the stores will get such a refurb but it provides hope that a lot of the grottier looking stores can look much more classy.

Already taken effect, looking at their website. Can't say I'm a fan of that new logo.

Hello, long time reader, first time poster!

I felt compelled to post as it's not been picked up on here...

The B&Q in Cribbs Causeway in Bristol has recently had a refurb and a new fascia across the whole building - as part of this work new signage has been put up all over. All of the new signage is still orange but has a slightly changed B&Q logo where the font is narrower and less squashed down and the biggest change being the line on the Q - it's no longer flat and horizontal and is now diagonal like a traditional Q.

I can't find this new logo anywhere online so it must be quite new and I didn't manage to take a picture sorry!

Anyone else spotted the change of logo?

I've found a picture on Google:

Does this technically count as High Street?

The new British Steel drops Gentleman's logo, forges new one

The main icon which is set in “molten orange” and combines the B and S letterforms also appears to look like three strips of steel.

This banal replacement to David Gentleman’s classic British Steel symbol plunges contemporary British graphics to an abysmally low place.
- Micheal Wolff, founder of Wolff Olins

It could be argued that if they already chose the old name they might as well use the old logo too but I think that using a new logo yields them the best of both worlds: building on an established name but signaling this is a new company.
