One of my favorite reads on Substack this week was Nanette Regan’s post about the new Lyle’s Golden Syrup logo.
Apparently this lion was the world’s oldest logo. And the original logo is a dead lion that Samson killed in the Bible and bees made honey in his carcass.
(Note they are only changing plastic packaging. They will be keeping the old design on the tins.)
The new lion has Aslan vibes and I like the shape of the bottle.
I have a few of these treacle tins from my time living in London to hold art supplies. It seems they aren’t changing the Black Treacle design (perhaps it only comes in a tin?) but when I was looking for it I found this.
I’d love to have one of these if anyone has a spare knocking around in their cupboards!
