SirKen from this forum also recently found the Safeway font appearing on cakes in the Co-op: Pic posted on Twitter.
Staying with a Co-op, given Gavin's posting of a refurbed ScotMid. I notice that the one on Saughtonhall Drive in Edinburgh (you can see it from the train going into the city from the West and North) has new signage. Black background with the Scotmid name in white and green. Seems odd, and wonder if this signals a change of look?
Would be quite expensive to roll out I'd imagine for a relatively small chain, especially given updated stores like the one posted above are still in the mainly blue era. The Streetview of the area shows the old frontage, with this pic on their website has the new look in the background. Odd.
EDIT: If I'd actually read Gavin's post I'd have realised that the new black look seems to be being rolled out.

I think this is it.

Tesco's SEL tickets have ditched the ugly two tone red and blue outline and now sports a much neater thicker blue border.
BTW does anyone else's tesco use their photo shop's large format printer to print homemade big posters for the gondola ends they've not been sent the right official signage for?

"He has to be larger than bacon"
Yes - in Sheffield the Phone Shop has created a rather nasty sign that they've been using for what must be years now, covering over a Sony Ericson roller banner (badly).Pete wrote:Tesco's SEL tickets have ditched the ugly two tone red and blue outline and now sports a much neater thicker blue border.

My local big tesco is currently mid-refurb, which I'm guessing means that everything is going to be cladded in wood. It'll be a shame to see the back of the yellow and red fixtures and fittings. 
One thing I've just been thinking about Asda, and that's that you never seem to see them use the Wal-Mart name at all any more. In the early-mid 00s they seemed keen to push it, with the "Part of the Wal-Mart family" slogan on shop signs, the websites, carrier bags etc. and the Asda Wal-Mart Supercentres, but over the past few years that seems to have all gone! You have to dig to find any mention of Wal-Mart on the Asda website (basically buried deep in the About Us section), it's no longer there on the carrier bags, our local store still has it on the sign at the entrance (which has been there since around 2003), but as the store's currently being refitted, I imagine it will be gone some time in the near future, and the supercentres are also have the Wal-Mart branding removed as they're refitted. I wonder what the reason behind this is, possibly because the Wal-Mart name really still doesn't mean much to most people over here, even after nearly 15 years of them owning Asda.
