Call It 31.2: Baskin-Robbins Taste Tests Brand Refresh

The ice cream maker keeps the "31" in its first logo revamp in 16 years

Brands have fallen in love with flat and simple logos, to go along with pared-down messaging, in hopes of establishing a faster and deeper connection with consumers who are spending increasing amounts of time on smartphones.

Trying to hit on those flavors of innovation and quality, Baskin-Robbins is updating its logo with a new simplified font and design. The refresh also includes updated packaging and employee uniforms, and joins recent digital-first refreshes from Velveeta and Burger King.

In the 77-year-old frozen treat maker’s case, the intention was to have circles in the “B” appear more “purposeful,” according to Jerid Grandinetti, vp of marketing and culinary at Baskin-Robbins.
