The Coca-Cola Company has a new design system for the Coca-Cola trademark, which brings the entire range together in an evolution of the ‘One Brand’ strategy that launched worldwide in 2016.

Coca-Cola’s in-house global design team collaborated with Kenyon Weston on the package redesign.

The new look is clean and minimal, with the redesign seeing the company strip back all the visual clutter from the packaging. These added elements include the red disc and wave line around the can, which has now been removed.

According to the company, its intent with the redesign was to provide a “simple and intuitive navigation system that carries across all Coca-Cola variants, while simultaneously celebrating the Coca-Cola logo”. 

Also, as a “visual metaphor to uplift”, the new design raises the Coca-Cola logo to the top of the label. 

The updated design will be led by the Coca-Cola Zero Sugar range, which also recently debuted a new recipe – bringing the taste closer to the original variant.

The new design is currently only launched in Europe and Latin America. The global rollout of the new design on the other variants will take place throughout 2021, with a complete conversion of its trademarks expected by 2022.

A national network for young grape and wine professionals has been launched, set to foster the next generation of winemakers, viticulturists, cellar door staff, wine judges and other roles in Australia’s wine sector.

A new bill was introduced to Parliament on 19 November, which offers a framework for regulating the sale or importation of organic goods in Australia, and stronger opportunities for exporting organic products.

The Senate Economics Committee has rejected the Food Donations Bill that proposed a tax offset for companies donating excess food to food relief agencies rather than dumping it. While the bill had the potential to deliver the equivalent of 100 million meals to food relief organisations, the committee said it had “serious concerns” including the bill’s “generous” tax concessions. Food relief agencies and social welfare organisations have questioned the committee’s decision to reject the bill outright rather than make recommendations for amendments.
